Mike,

I am looking for one as well. Which one (front or rear) are you looking for?

Joe

Thinking about buying one of these

for the wife.

I'm thinking - nosecone fairing, reclined hard shell seat, tapered tailbox - she'd have a pretty speedy ride for Seattle to Portland this July.

Gotta love FleaBay....the 3.5mm allen wrench for the Delta brakes is selling for 20=30 bucks. Wankers should use a conversion chart. Perfect 9/64 fit.

I see an easy $20 in your future!

Has she ridden a 'bent? They're not for everyone. I borrowed a friends. Took a couple of tries to get it moving out from a stop. Never did like the handling. Fast as hell though on a downhill.

No, neither of us have. I'd like to test ride one at the local 'bent specialist LWB but since we won't be buying there, I'm not comfortable doing that. I have always been interested in recumbents, though. And as I'm advancing to old-fart-hood, seems like I should get familiar with my destiny . . . do they make Birkenstocks with SPD cleats?

I think the Harbor Freight set actually includes a 3.5.

Yes, there are sandals with recesses for the spd, time, etc., cleats. Those, a 'bent, and a pair of slouchy wool socks pretty much polish off a particular look. :D

Noam Chomsky reader stuffed in the seatbag, spirulina juice in the water bottle, stringy thighs in flapping shorts - I'm there! Then I can work toward the most coveted 'bent rider accessory - the Aerobelly.

You guys buying stuff on CL outside your town? How does that work - you send $, they send parts? I've seen so many CL flakes, I wonder if I want to do that.

You take your chances but I have rarely had issues. Just bought a Campy rear gear changer off of a guy who Mike just got a seatpost from, so hope that it works out. The guy seems nice enough.
