Hi all,
Looking at this (the M Dev, and Dirk 's proposal) reminds me of the
construction of the Dursley Pedersen
http://www.dursley-pedersen.net/index.html , which appeared at least once in
wood http://www.dursley-pedersen.net/dp_history.html , and utilizing a
triangulated, light frame work.
Not a recumbent, but curiously interesting...
Cheers,
Tony
