Anyone here riding one? Would like to hear from some owners.

Rick,

I found the following link to a owner of a carbon Cobrabike lowracer.

http://www.recumbents.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22

He seems to like it and the review listed pros and cons, quite refreshing to say the least. I just
don't know how anyone can adjust to a minus 20 degree seat angle, he must have iron neck muscles.

the thread.

Hey Rich,

Don't you think having that Ed Gin guy riding a Cobrabike is a pretty severe test of its durability?

I understand Ed already had to do some remedial frame reinforcement. Did Ed ever own a bent he
didn't break?

Sorry, can't tell how old this thread is as the dating seems to be screwed up. I bought one last year, and love it. Having a bit of trouble trying to identify appropriate accessories to get it fit for use on the mean streets of London (namely a mirror, a seatbag and a flag that will make me visible to taxis/buses/articulated lorries - but will also not impede quick folding for getting on and off my train.

I'm guessing that you are referring to a Cobra made by TW-Bents, and not an Optima Cobra or one of the models formerly made by Cobrabikes. There's too many Cobras out there!



I suggest you peruse Hostelshoppe's website for accessories ideas, whether or not you get stuff from them.
