$750 is still way too much for a cheap recumbent. Alas, no one knows any
more the meaning of cheap. I am talking about a recumbent for less than
$200. Even $100 is enough for a cheap recumbent that the entire world could
afford.

By the way, when it comes to recumbent design, a good design costs no more
than a bad design.

When I was kid you could get a very nice bicycle for $40 to $60. Those truly
were the good old days!
