Cannondale recumbent 2004

Look on this page under comfort bike and see that Cannondale is listing two versions of their recumbent, one minus the front suspension.

I guess it's a move in the right direction...being able to offer a lower cost version of this nice
bike. Notice that the component spec has been lowered as well though still very good. I am curious
as to the MSRP of this model.

I was told it will list for about $1400. ($1399?)

Too bad the non-front suspended version does not come with a 406 front wheel. (Hmmm... Dual 20's...
with comp pool tires .... )

Not bad. Factor in that some dealers discount so we may see these for $1200 or so?

Ah yes...like the Maxarya. An optional 406 front would be nice as long as you're not sitting way
back on the frame and have to climb steep hills. It could cause the front end to get really light if
you know what I mean.

I wish Cannondale would produce an SWB. I would be interested to see what they could come up with.

I can do torque wheelies from a dead stop on a RANS Tailwind.

Not really. . . I'm short so the seat is way forward.

I wish they would make a semi-low LWB.
