Hi all - I'm on the lookout for a touring recumbent bike for my girlfriend, something with similar riding dynamics to my Streetmachine so we keep pace with each other. Something like another Streetmachine, Azub 5 or 6. She has some recumbent experience but isn't wildly confident, so a high-racer won't suit. She is tall though (5'10"-ish) so getting feet down isn't an issue. Ideally full suspension, ideally alloy, ideally USS, ideally carbon seat rather than mesh, but we're open-minded. We have a tour planned for March, so we'd like to sort something by then. I travel around the UK for work, so I'll come and get the right bike!

We bought the Challenge Seiran in Stroud that you might have seen on Ebay. It's the same bike I was briefly introduced when it came to York to be reviewed by Velovision. |

Oh I thought you wanted a Steetmachine or similar heavy duty tourer . Who will be lugging the panniers ...and bulky luggage while you have all the fun on tarmac roads .... Well done it's a result Just for the record....I have similar style machines in stock Cheers Kevin D.TEK ------------- D.TEK HPVS purveyors of recumbent trikes and cycles |
