Has anyone had experience with the recumbents sold by Actionbent.com? What
they have displayed on their website is of interest, especially the
RoadRunner model and the Suspended RoadRunner model. These are manufactured
in Taiwan, and I would like to hear from anyone as to how they ride, and
anything else both pro and con about the recumbents for sale here. Thanks!

there is an Actionbent Owners Group on Yahoo...about 360 members. It is the
best place to read about the bents and Randy Shulman the company owner is
there to answer questions.

I have been subscribing to the action bent group for a few weeks now. What I
have seen is that the Actionbent recumbents are much cheaper than similar
model from competing manufacturers, but you get what you pay for. If you are
not handy around a bicycle, they are not for you.

The number of design flaws and problems with these bikes is much larger than
you would expect on a new bike.
