Just ordered my Catrike Road!
Just ordered, Catrike Road in green. Test rode a bunch of bents in all sorts
of configurations. Burleys, HP, EZ and others. Nothing came close to the Trike in terms of putting a grin on my face. The bike really rewards whatever you put into it. Too bad I still have to endure my upright till she comes. Giddyup! Grolsch |

Just ordered my Catrike Road!
Interesting!
When I test rode a bunch of different trikes I found I really didn't like the steering of the Catrike. My favorite, by far, was the Greenspeed but at close to $5K, it wasn't really and option. The Wizwheelz was also pretty good. Not Greenspeed but very close. When Greenspeed finally came out with the more affordable GT's, I was able to get one. I understand that Catrike has worked on the steering because there were many people that didn't like it. What model year is yours?

Mines the 2006. Apparantly they went with a modified steering system for
2005 but changed back to nearly the original setup. This is my first bent anyway so I am a neophite as far as the finer aspects go. I couldn't even test a greenspeed here anyway even if I was able to drop 5K for a bike. This is as much of an experiment anyway to see if the whole thing "works" for my purposes. The biggest downside I see is the aluminum. I am not a big fan of aluminum (metal fatigue, comfort), but at 31 lbs this is the lightest sub 3K bike out there. "Jeff Grippe" wrote in message ...
