You are on the right track. Is a used 10 speed with in your price range. If so do search the internet. There are many sites that show you how to cut up and reweld your own recumbent. You then can reuse the parts off the original bike for the most part.

Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I have absolutely NO problems being seen. I actually think people see me better on the trike than on a regular bike. Maybe they are trying to figure out just what the heck I am!!!!
