Bacchetta Bella LWB looking for a new home

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, my long wheel base Bacchetta Bella recumbent is looking for a new home.  Regretful sale due to relocation.  It's a 2017 edition in mango orange / white and was bought by me from its first owner only last year.  It's in super condition and really comfortable to ride.  It should suit a x-seam of 33-46"/ 84-117cm, my hight is 178cm and suits me fine.  It's around 226cm in total length.  Original spec SRAM Grip Shift 48/36/26 11-34, Re-curve seat, Avid brakes with new SwissStop Flash Pro BXP brake shoes, Schwalbe Marathon Plus 1.75" tyres (original Kenda West tyres also included), Pletscher ESGE prop stand, SKS Blumels mudguards, Burgtec MK4 pedals and Cateye Velo.  Always stored dry inside.  Only covered around 1,100 miles since new. There is wear to the tape on the tiller from a bottle cage, however this could be replaced easily.  A few images included here.
Currently residing at the top of end of North Yorkshire - drop me a message if you have a serious interest at around £850.00.

	Lovely bike, bargain price. Bella's came in two sizes: small and large. The total length measurement given suggests this is a small, whereas the X-seam measurement given suggests it's the large. I own a small Bella which is fine for me at 5'8" but I'd recommend the large if you are taller.

	It is indeed. Yes it is a "small" in accordance with the Bacchetta sizing model. It measures 127cm / 50" from crank dead centre to rear drop out. I was provided with the x-seam measurements when originally enquiring about its sizing and by research on various www sources appears correct and reflective of its fit. Cycledifferent indicate a current "small" being 36" to 45" and the rustycrank indicates "small" being 33" to 46". Hope this helps.

	The Bella has now found a new home, so thanks to those who were interested, but this sale listing is now closed. Safe riding.
