1617.0. "Recumbant buying for novices" by ULTRA::WITTENBERG (Uphill, Into the Wind) Mon Jul 02 1990 16:06
I'm starting to look seriously at buying a recumbent (or two if I
can interest my wife), so I'm looking for information on how to
choose a recumbent. I'm looking for general advice, as I'm a
novice with recumbents. A few questions that have already come up:
How does one choose between "easy rider" style handlebars and
under-seat handlebars? Some bikes like the Tour-EZ have the pedals
much lower than the seat, while the Linear has the pedals almost
the same height as the seat, What are the pros and cons of this?
What are the pros and cons of long vs. short wheelbase? Which
builders are recommended?
I've looked in notes 74 (about the Opus tandem where the front
rider is recumbent), 196 (which gives addresses of manufacturers),
and 408 (a little about the quality of components, and several
offers of a ride on a Linear recumbent.)
