http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-new...0225-p5pv.html Pretty awesome bike, eh? I have been saving up for one since I found out about it some time ago. Of cos, some recumbent enthusiasts _ahem_no_names_mentioned_ will tell you that it is an upright bike, etc etc etc etc My apologies to you_know_who Despite all the gadetry, one still has to pedal it to get somewhere. I am just waiting for someone to suggest mounting a small petrol engine _shudder_ on the frame somewhere. |

I just giggle quietly at the concept that's all! But then if you can pay $46k for a wedgie you probably pay someone to ride it for you.... Zebee |

I tort that'd flush you out I just giggle quietly at the concept that's all! You and your recumbents!! Gawd!! But then if you can pay $46k for a wedgie you probably pay someone to ride it for you.... No way! I recall vaguely reading somewhere that the bike can tell the torsional stresses on the frame, so I want to the one who is gonna twist that frame |

Hi Zebee, My son has arranged for a test ride on a Silvio http://www.cruzbike.com/silvio.html He likes the idea of a single short chain. I'll let you know what he thought about it. Cheers Theo |

Hi Zebee, My son has arranged for a test ride on a Silvio http://www.cruzbike.com/silvio.html He likes the idea of a single short chain. I'll let you know what he thought about it. heh.. front wheel drive takes getting used to I'm told! Be interested to hear his verdict, I suspect he's likely to say "That thing's a death trap!" I haven't ridden one. I've talked to someone who has, who also rides other 'bents. He said that the pedal steer was strong so you were forever fighting your own feet, but that it did teach you to pedal very smoothly in full circles. (Makes me wonder how anyone can manage a flevobike or a python http://www.python-lowracer.de/ but they do!) I have wondered about picking up a 2nd hand Y frame bike and using their conversion kit to make a station bike.... But for the price of even a 2nd hand Y frame with components and wheels worth bothering with and the kit I could buy the cheap taiwanese 'bents that come up now and then. Zebee |
