#BikeNite A3. In the recumbent world, DF = Diamond Frame (a conventional, non-recumbent bike).
There's also a lot of acronyms to describe different types of recumbent:
SWB = Short Wheelbase (pedals in front of the front wheel)
LWB = Long Wheelbase (pedals behind the front wheel)
CLWB = Compact Long Wheelbase (pedals tucked in close behind the front wheel)
USS / OSS = Under- / Over-seat steering (describes handlebar placement)
My personal obsession is MBB/FWD = Moving Bottom Bracket / Front Wheel Drive (the cranks are attached to the part of the frame that moves when you steer, so your legs move side-to-side when steering)
