Name: Charles J. Knight <c.knight@juno.com>
Age: M 26
Mass: 180-190lbs (not muscle; NOYB, aka too heavy!)
Size: 5'9"
Bikes: Not yet. I'm listening to comments, before designing my own. I'm the one who wants to do it out of glue-lam wood, so I'd like to *use* the characteristics of the wood, rather than fight it. It could result in built-in suspension, if done right.
Rides:  
Where: Dallas, Texas, USA
Works: Student - I just finished up my Bachelor's at UTexas
Likes: Optics, Aeronautic design (calculations), Geodesic domes, Synergetic geometry. Not bicycling...not yet, at least. I'm trying to get motivated by doing this design exercise...designing a recumbent. I'm working with tensegrity structures right now...tension cabling becomes a design element in this type of construction.
Climbs: Don't know yet...would guess that it will be pathetic, as I need to get in shape.
Crash: not surveyed
Beard: I have been known to need a shave, but never a beard.
