Ciao a tutti,
My name is Oscar, Osky for my friends.
First, apologize for my basic english..... sorry, I hope you understand me.
Second, introduce me. My name is Oski and writte you from Mallorca, Spain. I read you forum a long time ago and enjoy with your interesting projects. Here in Spain we had a recumnet bike forum (granabike) but it disappeared... a pair for years ago.
I'm 46 and ride in bicycle all my life and in recumbent from 1999 when I saw an stange bike with front pedals on a street in Valencia :blink: ....after this I build my fist recument bike.
I'm a amater builder and I've built some recumbent bikes... rear and front drive, a trike too...usually they was build in steel but my last FWD bike is in carbon too... like yours. I'll show you...

Well, nice to meet you

osky

Hello Osky and welcome to this forum.

1999! Wow, you are a veteran recumbent cyclist! :)

Since you are also a recumbent bikes builder and you use steel and fiber carbon either I'm really curious to see some images of your bikes.

Please, could you kindly post some photos for us?

Thanks! :)

Thanks for you reception,
Wawwww Ducapapanti I wish my italian was like you spanish....or maybe my english jejejejeje!!!
Well EBS I put a pair of my bikes: my fisrt one in 1999/2000. It was my aunt bike, I cut and weld with my old sitck welder.... after this .....and much more....we made our ""home made Slyway""... trikes, cargo bikes, velomobile....and the current project. It is a mix between Metabikes geometry, M5 frame shape and Cruzbike FWD... carbon bike. I hope you like it....


Gracias por vuestro recibimiento,
Wawwww Ducapapanti, Ojalá mi italiano fuese como tu español. ... o tal vez mi inglés jejejejeje!!!
Bueno EBS te presento un par de mis bicis: mi primera bici en 1999/2000. Fue la bici de mi tía, Yo la corté y soldé con mi viejo soldador de arco.... después.... muchas otras......nosotros hicimos nuestra ""Slyway casera"" ... trikes, cargo bikes, velomobiles... y mi actual proyecto. Este es una mezcla entre la geometría de Metabikes, la sección del chasis de la M5 y el sistema de tracción frontal de Cruzbike... bicicleta de carbono. Espero que os guste....

I think it did not go well... I try again.



Creo que no ha ido muy bien.... lo vuelvo a intentar.

Very nice homebuilding!

This one is my favourite one:

Can you give us more technical details?

No rear brake?
Front derailleur assembly?
Do you use a mould for the frame?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply. :)

Te felicito por tus creaciones realmente muy lindas.
Seria bueno que nos contaras algo más sobre tus bicis.

Si algún día voy a Mallorca no faltaré la ocasión para probar tus bici.

Saludos

@ Osky

Congratulations, all your bikes are wonderful but the one that I like more is the carbon one.

As already requested by Recumbent could you provide us more technical details?

Thanks.

Thanks guys
Of course Tonigarp, if you come to Mallorca I can lend any of my bikes... I hope you are close to 1.86cm...most of my home build bikes are fixed size.

Well, yes Recumbent really I use mould for the main frame, porex core and carbon fiber fabric for the front piece...I allways try to use moulds in my pieces. Is a little bit expensive but I like this method.

At this time I put rear brake and interior brake cables... now I work in the derailleur braket... I hope brand new for the next 300km brevet.... but I don't know when...

I said, the bike have the same geometry that my Metabike, height, steering angle, wheelbase.

I show you:


Gracias chicos
Por supuesto Tonigarp, si vienes a Mallorca yo puedo prestarte alguna de mis bicis... espero que midas cerca de 1.86cm... la mayoría de mis bicicletas son de talla fija.

Bien, si Recumbent realmente yo uso molde para el chasis principal u poliuretano recubierto de tela de fibra de carbono para la parte frontal... Yo siempre intento usar moldes para mis piezas. Es un poco más caro pero me gusta este método.

En este momento he montado el freno trasero y los cables interiores... ahora trabajo en el soporte del cambio de platos.... espero estrenar la bici para mi próxima brevet 300km... aunque no se cuando sera...

Como os comente, la bici tiene la misma geometría que mi Metabike, altura, angulo de dirección, distancia entre ejes.

Os la enseño:

Same experience for me this morning. :)
I fully understand that kind of emotion.

… but the virus is still out there … keep safe! … too many cyclists already riding in group …>.<

Yes I know, I ride a few hours a day (Sport 6:00 am to 12:00h and 8:00 pm to :00h)...step by step.
Greetings and pedals...

Si lo se, yo solo pedaleo unas pocas horas al dia (Deporte de 6:00-12:00h y de 20:00 to 23:00h) poco a poco y con cuidado.
Saludos y pedales.
