Volae Reports Anyone?
Dear Mr. NoGo...,
You happen to equate "quality" with speed. That is a rather narrow concept. I happen to equate quality with comfort, styling, value, and other such things which leaves speed near the bottom of the list. You do have the zeal of a new convert....use it for your enjoyment but not for the criticism of others that do not share your view. Regardless of brand it is just a bike after all ..... Jack Davis RANS Rider "nogoslow" wrote in message om... Well ... now you' can learn something: Rolf Garthus, owner of Hostel Shoppe and Volae, has a passion for recumbents, trust me! He rides recumbents a LOT during the Wisconsin riding season. I just bought Rolf's personal 2003 Volae Team, ridden for a half season for about 1000 miles. Keep on riding! Bob Siegel in Gainesville FL Hi Bob, Rich Pinto and John Schlitter are not just bike builders but two of the fastest riders in the bent world today. I have a different meaning for the word "passion" than you do. This is not just "riding a lot" but riding a lot very fast and the bike is designed for that purpose. Most bents are a joke for serious riders. Bacchetta expected copys and clones and I am sure that this will continue. Can't stop that. It speaks to Bacchetta's great design! That simplicity makes it easier for others to build similar bikes. But I am sure they will remain leaders in the industry. After all competition is good for the consumer. Check out Denny's Bacchetta list. |

Jack Davis RANS Rider Bacchetta is Rans. John Schlitter designed the bike you ride and is a speed oriented rider. You display your ignorance. I am not a new convert. I am glad you enjoy your bike even if you ride slow. I ride fast and want a fast machine. So what? Recumbent equates to old fat and slow. That is what I see on the road. And thats ok at least you ride. I am on my DF a lot more than my bent lately. I like the company it attracts better. I ride that bike fast to. Fast is bad, slow is good in your way of thinking. |

Thank you for your reply. You will be pleased to know that I am old, fat, and, (compared to you.) slow. So is my wife who has had both knees replaced with stainless steel and titanium. (a favorite metal of many bike riders.), and I was a little faster before my open-heart surgery. But that, and a 75 mph crash on my motorcycle, did slow me down a bit. So I guess our example supports your theory of recumbent riders, but we have a wonderful time cruising the trails and roads at our own pace. Eventually you may be old ,and slow too. Maybe then we will be able to ride together.....I"m sure it will be will be enjoyable for all of us. In the meantime maybe you can ride with our son. He too doesn't like being passed so he gave up his DF for a 'bent and he loves it. Have fun on whatever you ride... JD JD |

It's pretty clear by now that "nogoslow" is so insecure that he feels the need to not only brag about his bike, but to insist that HIS bike is the best, the only best, and that everything else is a tired, slow, heavy, copy, that can not possibly measure up to HIS idea of perfection. So can we just agree he is a troll on this subject, and quit feeding him? Steve Christensen |

I'll bet the boys at Bachetta cringe every time you post, as the vast
majority of bikes they sell are to "old slow fat guys" who want to go faster. And another old fat and slow rider. Ole Volae! Fat slow and old and probably a beard to. Correct? BTW, RANS is a great company. Like there bikes. |

I ride the DF more than the bent anyway so I could care less what you think of me or Bacchetta. Why are you posting? Who cares. let it die. |
