Rans V2 X seam range?

[trailgalore]

Anyone know the X-seam range for a Rans Velocity Squared large frome? Most
interested in the shortest length.

My '99 catalog shows the 34" frame as 37" to 49" and the 40" frame as 40" to
52" for x-seam sizes.
Hope this answers you question.

The V3 [1] which replaces the Velocity Squared has a range of 34.2
inches to 45.7 inches for the standard frame and 37.2 inches to 48.7
inches for the large frame.

However, let it be noted that RANS measures X-seam differently than some
in the recumbent business.

RANS' method: <http://www.ransbikes.com/XSeam.htm>.

The more common method, since most recumbent riders are not flexible
enough to use the RANS method properly:

P.S. What is a "Rans"?

OP might be looking for a used RANS V squared, in which case the dimensions
for a V3 would be less than relevant. <wink>

True. However, if I recall correctly, RANS has changed [1] the way they
measure X-seam back and forth between the ways shown in the two links I
posted, and therefore the potential purchaser needs to know what method
was in use for the published numbers to be useful.

If someone (a RANS dealer?) had a complete collection of 21st Century
RANS brochures, this question could probably be answered properly.
