  1. I will be spending 3 weeks in Germany starting mid-July and am interested in
    checking out 2 possiblities (in addition to the possibility of taking my bike):
    1) Buying used and possibly reselling (with help of
    daughter living in Germany), or 2) Buying new and
    bringing bike home to US.

    Lots of questions here ..... if you can answer all or some,
    feel free to reply directly to my email.

    2) A bike shop in the area of Tuebingen or Stuttgart that
    would have a selection of new or used bents?
    3) "Duty" issues/rates for purchasing a new/used bike
    overseas and bringing back to US (does it matter if the
    "new" bike would have 200-300 miles by the time I return?
    4) Any possibility for a direct purchase of a bike such as
    ActionBent and having shipped directly to my daughter?
    5) any possibilties for a 3-week bent rental"
    6) Anyone's crystal ball telling you what exchange rates
    will be doing????
    7) Other suggestions? (my preferences are: SWB, USS, rear
    suspension, < 35 lbs)

  2. When I started reading your email, I thought I had written
    it 🙂 as I am going to Tuttlingen (same city, diff.
    spelling??) for 3 weeks this summer starting the end of June
    and ending around your arrival. I would appreciate any and
    all information as well...I would love to rent a bent while
    there. I might even take a trip up to the M5 factory but it
    is a distance (~450
    mi.)

    The German seller of Tsunamis(ActionBents), prices seem to
    be higher than in the States.

    Sometimes Tsunamis appear on ebay.de Here's the link for
    ebay search "Liegerad" (recumbent):

    Good luck!
