WOW Marci, I see you haven't forgotten some of my earlier posts and that numb toe feeling, I've
previously experienced with other SWB'S. I'm IMPRESSED! For the brief time I was on the Aero,
Strada, Giro and Corsa, I didn't seem to have a problem with the numb toes. You do seem to be more
cocked back on these bikes but still get a fairly straight or flushed body position feeling. Unlike
my P-38 and previous Visions, where I felt my legs were actually physically cocked upward. I'm
incline to believe the Bacchetta's ARE actually more cocked upward, but for some reason, the way
your body is positioned, especially on the M5 like seat (As opposed to the lounge chair) I got a
more natural or neutral feel. I've also been exercising on a stationary recumbent, (For a year +
now) where my feet are actually in a cocked up position, much like on my M5 and how I will be on the
Aero. (I actually purchased the particular stationary recumbent, specifically to train on for my M5
and got rid of the one that had a lower front crank / pedal position) I'm excited about joining the
local Killer B bunch and am lucky I haven't engaged any of them, for the moment. As much as I LOVE
my GRR Ti (And AM KEEPING IT) I just can't get the Bacchetta ride experience out of my system. Even
the Giro, was a BLAST to ride! (And now I have to even keep a weary eye on Shari Bernhard, who
averaged 20+ mph on hers and hung with the local GO FAST SBW cyclists group, this past weekend!!!)
Other Killer B's are also on the prowl for me too. Jose, Arthur and recently Sergio.(?) I guess in
some places it's raining men, but in South Florida, it's raining Killer B's!!!!!!!!!!! Alas, Marci,
I'll keep you and others posted, once I'm assimilated into the hive... Ken aka EZ Biker
