[Bent] RE: Bent Digest, Vol 18, Issue 1

[Pat Mullen]

Hi Margaret,
After much research and test rides, I just bought a new Easy Racers Gold
Rush, my first recumbent. I am also 5'6" with a similar leg length. You are
welcome to take it for a spin.

Pat Mullen

Hello -- I'm shopping for my first recumbent and after months of researching
finally got to take some test-rides this weekend at Bicycle Man in Alfred,
NY.  Unfortunately I learned that my short legs rule out a lot of SWB
recumbents (could not fit on a Bacchetta Giro 20 or Longbikes Eliminator
(couldn't reach pedals), nor a Street Machine (couldn't touch ground), and
even a V-Rex was too big, although quite ride-able) (I'm 5'6", with about a
28" inseam).  I'm very eager now to try out a Lightning P-38 in small or
medium, a Volae Century or Tour in small or medium, and an HPVelotechnik
Grasshopper.  If anyone within about 100 miles of NYC has one of these bikes
and might be willing to let a newbie take a turn around the block on their
bike, I'd greatly appreciate it!
