RANS should look to Low End Market
I would love to test ride the new Ti StratusXP. It looks awesome. Yet
I continue to wonder how many $3-5k plus bikes RANS and others expect to sell. I'd like to see RANS revisit the lower end market. It seems to me that a $600 Rocket and a $700 Tailwind with perhaps more pedestrian components would entice more would be recumbent buyers into the wonderful word of recumbency.

Year-end, worldwide shipments of general aviation airplanes totaled 3,580 units for 2005, up 20.8 percent over the previous year's total of 2,963 units. |

Jim Reilly Reading, PA Right you are Jim - as always. The one thing that has kept recumbents from ever becoming popular has been the high prices. Most folks do not want to spend a thousand or more dollars for a bike. A very good question indeed. Why doesn't RANS bring out a $500. recumbent and see what happens. It would be an interesting experiment if nothing else. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Flying a light airplane is just about the most dangerous thing you can do. It is a wonder to me that RANS has not been sued out of existence by now. Hells Bells, I do not even like to go up in big, heavy commercial airplanes. If God had intended man to fly, He would have given him wings. Thus spake Zarathustra. John Denver would be alive today still caterwauling about wonderful West Virginia if he not been so stupid as to want to fly light experimental aircraft. Well, stupid is as stupid does.
