Killer "Bs" multiplying in South Florida!

You folks are getting GREAT bikes from great people ...BUT ... you should at least test-ride the
Vision Saber R-65/R-68 before you jump to any conclusions about what's "best" among the
new-generation two-big-wheel recumbos.

GEEZ, the recent Bacchetta Recumbo rally has really stirred up a "Bs" nest down here in South
Florida! Besides my $$$ plunk down for an Aero, Jose (BROL) is expecting his Strada, any day now
and a fellow SFRR member (Sergio) is expected to move on a Corsa (?) soon. Some other person at
the recent rally has just ordered a Strada, yesterday from Bicycle Spot.

I have not ridden either bike but it appears to me that the seat height is higher on the Saber 27"
while the Aero is 22" . Would the lower seat height be an advantage to balance and aerodynamics? Jim

The Saber is quite possibly a great bike but Im too short so I'll be getting a
Strada/Corsa/Aero hybrid.

SORRY GATOR BOB, I'VE ALREADY jumped on the conclusion and have my Aero on order. I'm sure the Saber
is nice; but I feel this need to be able to hang with my fellow KILLER B's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EZ Biker

One thing that I forgot to add though, the lower seat height means a higher BB to seat relation
which is not as comfortable for some of us. I think anyone with neck, shoulder or numb toe issues
could have a problem on the Strada. Marci

Seems like lower seat height would be an advantage. I have not ridden the Bachetta bikes but I do
own the vision saber and I have no balance issue and the aerodynamics are good as evidenced by the
bikes' amazing speed. It so far, is the fastest recumbent that I have ever owned...period. Marci

Then Marci, perhaps you need to try a Bacchetta Aero... ;-) <Grin> EZ Biker :-) Pompano Beach, Fl.

I have an Aero on order and can't wait to try it out. I didn't attend the Bacchetta Rally nor have I
ridden one. However, i do have a Reynolds Ti T-Bone that I like very much and I'm looking forward to
comparing the 2 bikes on different terrains and rides. Does anyone have experience on both bikes?
