More on Mesh

I rode the trike 15 miles today.  Climbed a fairly stiff 2-mile hill between the 7-1/2 to 9-1/2 mile markers.  No issues with the mesh seat.  very comfortable.  Before I started, I did place a 1-1/2" wide x 3/4" thick block between the seat connector and the main tube.  What this did was push the lower end of the seat slightly up in the air so that I wasn't fighting sliding down off it.  Good ride with no seat issues.

Mesh Seat & Bell Flag

I did another 12-miler.  That original design seat just isn't comfortable enough for me to ride long mileage on it.  So I decided to pull a mesh seat off another one of my recumbent bikes.

Here it is with mesh seat and Bell flag ...

A closer view of the seat.  Need to make a newer mesh cover for it.  I need to make those EMT bars that are wider horizontally and then come up vertically instead of at a slant.  That's so I can get a little tighter turning radius.

I welded some tabs on and bolted the seat to them where the rear fork meets the main frame.

Here's the bracket I made to attach the bottom of the seat to the frame main tube.
