I'm thinking about buying a recumbent - any tips ?
I'm currently interested in 2 models,
- the Bike Friday foldable: I've had a Bike Friday before
and like their gear. The fact that it is foldable is a big
plus. However the 16" wheels seem to be quite a
compromise.
- the HP Velotechnik 'Street Machine GT'. Looks like a good
touring machine.
Any other machines I should be looking at?
Am I right in thinking that the seat is the most important
component?
The big turn off is the price, are there any good models
that are significantly below the EUR/USD 2500 mark?
And the difficulty test riding.... can't really try them all
and then decide what's best.... (I live in Belgium, but
could nip over to UK, France, Holland, or Germany if it were
worth it.)
Any info, help, tips gratefully accepted.
