I would actually like to own a bent, but I would also like to do a spot of time trialling and I
can't do that on a bent with my local club.

A very good reason for a wedgie, though if you've got transport you could always start visiting BHPC
races, where 'bents are the norm and at least part of you can be comfortable while you push your
cardiovascular system to the point of collapse... ;-/

bents ;-)

Well of *course* you do! Make it a tandem or a sociable and you'd just need the one (for a
start...).

I prefer the version "Power corrupts, absolute power is even nicer"

My personal choice would be Ti frame, decked with carbon goodies. That's a money no object, spoil
