New Gold Rush @ $3500? What?
Ed, I never got around to installing a computer on the Strada and I too
let the computer on my Stratus die. I simply no longer use it or need it. The Stratus has been a great bike. The only issue I have is over the fit. I too am 6' even. My x-seam is 43.5", the absolute max for the std frame Stratus. I have the seat ALL THE WAY back. And you are right! That is NOT the right fit on a LWB... Kelvin Clark at Angeltech sold me this bike in 99. He should have sold me an XL frame! Finally, at the 2K price range, the new Stratus XP is very nice! I rode this at BROL's NY event last month!

This bike has a frame very similar to the Ross Festina, but with a hard-shell seat and larger rear wheel. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley "Abnormal would be a mountain lion speaking English." - M.V. |

Some years ago I met Bill Cook at the Seagull Century in Maryland. He
(or one of his riding associates) had a Barcroft Dakota with a Pantour Front Suspension Hub. Wow! It was just enough suspension to create a silky smoothe ride. Jim |

No offense but in my opinion it appears that much more development of new
recumbents is being done by overseas (Europe/Asia) than here in the US already. In fact the only company that seems to be doing it here is Reynolds Weld Lab, everyone else is just doing varients of the same old thing. For instance I'd love to buy a low-racer built in the US but with the exception of one small manufacturer on the east coast I can't. None taken. Aside from Bacchetta, the exciting stuff is being done in Europe, surely. "Development" isn't the same thing as refinement. The overall design of ER's products hasn't changed much but there have been many tweaks to the pipes and, as the aluminum and ti versions came online, everything had to be redesigned from the rubber up. Their componentry selection often lags a bit but ER now offers disk brakes on all models. And we're starting to mix some oranges in with the apples. Your quest for a low racer will not include any products from Easy Racers, more's the pity. One wonders what the ER team that shows up at Battle Mtn might do with the challenge to bring a low racer to market. I don't think it's in their future, though. david boise ID |
