Here is my custom Easy Racers Tour Easy recumbent. I know recumbents don't normally fit in here, (Nonsense! I've included 100% of the recumbents which have been sent in... ;^) - ed.) but I thought this particular build might make the cut.

The Tour Easy is arguably the most "classic" recumbent currently made. The frame design has been left virtually unchanged since the 1970's and is still being produced by Easy Racers at their facility in Santa Cruz, California. The tig-welded, steel frame frame was custom painted British Racing Green at Easy Racers. The parts were collected and assembled by myself and Rick Steele at Gold Country Cyclery in Cameron Park, CA.

The ride is vintage Tour Easy: plush, comfortable, confidence-inspiring.
