Been googling, searching through recumbent sites, etc without avail.
It may, of course, be gone from the web.
A homebuilding article with nitty gritty (ie, in detail and actually
talking about the problems encountered, as some folks seem shy to do)
about a kevlar (or kevlar/glass) "integrated frame and rear fairing"
design recumbent. ie, more or less open to the front (not a
velocycle/hpv enclosed thing), with the behind seat area serving as
wheel support, storage, and tail-fairing, all in one. Forward frame also
kevlar. Riding position comparatively upright (not one of those
super-low racing jobs). Can't recall for sure if short or long
wheelbase, but probably long.
I recall it as being a better than average tour though the joys and lack
thereof of working with kevlar and having some neat features, so I
wanted to revisit it.
Ring a bell with anyone?
