We are back!

So after a rather long "summer vacation" the team is back at work. :-) We have finally moved the molds to a wherehouse in Santa Clara which is a good long term spot for them.  So our short term goals are the following:

1) Build a training bike for Meghan. We plan to build a "clone" of the Bacchetta Strada. We took vavious measurements and photos of the Bacchetta that we rented back in May. Meghan liked the ride and feel of this recumbent. It seems a straightforward frame to duplicate. But when building anything there will be problems that will arise.



2) Build a test faring to give the team some practical hands-on experience performing a vacuum bag wet layup.

3) Build a test frame based on this sketch.


This is just a preliminary first design. I'm sure it will change quite a bit as we do subsequent frame design iterations.

More to follow!...

  1. Hi. Did you get any further with this? I'd be interested to know. I'd also be interested in the dimensions that you used if they are available?

    Thank you.

  2. Greetings Anne,

    Our team is just getting back to work. I have some preliminary frame dimensions and we will build this frame in the near future. I'll be posting updates soon.

    Regards,
