Recumbents
Sep. 21st, 2007 11:58 amI haven't totally given up on the idea of a recumbent, though going for the electric motor as a an answer to "how can I make cycling into headwinds easier" does rather reduce the plausible budget for one.
There was a Speed Ross on eBay recently, but without having seen it and with the description saying it needed some work, I wasn't prepared to go higher than £200. It went for £206, but of course I can't tell how much higher the winning bidder might have gone. And it's not an ideal bike for in town use anyway, even if it would be faster for the not-town bit of the commute.
(I left a bid on one of these kits (built into a bike)before going on holiday, too, but that went for quite a lot more than my bid (which I can't remember now).)
The tyres on my folder are cracking, which might be an excuse for another visit to D.Tek.
