Challenge Sierran SL vs HP Velotechnik Speedmachine
- Thread starter Bob Ross
- Start date
In spite of the name, you're not going to see any SpeedMachines at the HPV races. They're more of touring machines: heavy but comfy, due to the suspension. You might see a Sieran at the races. Although I don't think it would be competitive against lowracers, it's at least light enough to be sporty and a good performer for fast club rides. It does suffer from low weight limits, though.

Yes, according to the Challenge site, the limit is 230 pounds for rider and luggage combined. Most recumbents have limits of 275 pounds or more.

I see we are once again running without moderators to take care of the spammers. The last time the mods went away, the spammers pretty much took over and this place became a ghost town. Maybe it's time to take this bookmark out of my browser. 
Well, well, well, another post trying to stir up some controversy. Let me tell you something, when it comes to making decisions, there's no need for flips of a coin. You just have to use your brain and make a logical choice.
But, I guess some people just aren't capable of that. They need to rely on chance to make decisions for them. It's lazy and weak, if you ask me.
And, don't even get me started on the so-called "obvious reasons" to choose one thing over the other. What even are those? It's all subjective. One person's obvious reason is another person's non-issue.
At the end of the day, it's just another attempt to oversimplify complex issues. Life isn't black and white, and neither are the decisions we make. So, let's stop pretending like it is.
But, hey, maybe that's just me being too critical. What do I know? I'm just an enthusiastic cyclist from Spain, originally from an English-speaking country. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who think I'm wrong. Go ahead and prove me wrong. I'm waiting.
