Soliciting opinions: Cycle Genius Falcon

[DougC]

I have only a SWB now but am pondering gettting a LWB. Saw one of these
in the LBS and it didn't seem real heavy. Anybody own one, get rid of
one? What's the worst thing about them? Are there any other comparable
LWB's in the same price range with disk brakes?

I think this is a very nice bike and perhaps if it was in my LBS when I
was test riding bikes I would have considered it beside the Koosah and
EZ-Sport.
In the end I bought the Sun EZ-Sport and I don't regret it one bit. I
believe the Aluminum version does come with disc brakes.

The cycle genius seat is truly cool though. The seat base angle is
totally adjustable. I emailed CG about their seat and fitting it to my
Sun. Its possible with some welds but I have since shimmed the front of
my seat up so now its got a nice angle to it.

I do like the fat pipes on the EZ-Sport, it makes the bike look
substantial and compliments the EZ-Sport's womanly curves

Just curious what kind of SWB bike do you have?

I am no different than some others here and feel that one bent is not
going to be enough.
Hmm maybe the CG trike? That looks like a great ride.

Slug.

I have a Sun EZ-speedster CX (mid-grade). The shop I go to sells Sun,
C-G and Burley bents along with upright bikes so I have seen the Sun
bents I think.

Have you taken the Falcon for a ride?
I'd recommend multiple test rides on several bikes. Its the only way to
know for sure. I really liked the Koosah until I took it for a 20 min
ride. Thats when I knew it wasn't going to work out. Please post your
commments on the CG bike. The seat is very adjustable, so you gotta
mess with it to get it perfect I'd imagine. Good Luck!
