Lately I have seen a lot of builds for FWD MBB (Front Wheel Drive Movable Bottom Bracket) recumbents. This is just a page of links and maybe a few pictures to help me collect information for later use.
There are a lot of claims being made for this design. Time will shake it out.

Of home built FWD MBB’s this is my favorite. Mika (mhelander) of BROL has built a most impressive welded aluminum bike fashioned after the Cruzbike Vendetta. From Mika’s ride reports, “Poor man’s Vendetta MBB” handles very well. A must read for home builders His ride reports alone are most informative.

DIY recumbent bicycle made from recycled parts FWD MBB on Instructables. This is such a simple, clean, no weld example of a FWD MBB. I am going to give it a try as soon as I get a donor bike in my hands.
I’ll add others as I have time.
I’m putting this here for reference – I find it interesting. FWD RWS
I know, it can’t be done. Can it?
