I ride a swb under steer actionbent (made in Taiwan)
Yesterday I converted my indoor upright exercise bicycle into a
recumbent with the same seat/BB heights proportions and seat angle as
my actionbent. It is a vast improvement. I have removed the handlebar
and as i pedal away i dream that i am on a python as I am only a few
inches above the floor and my hands are on my lap or holding a book.
Question ........ I get much pleasure and satisfaction on group rides
with other cyclists, almost all of whom ride uprights. When I switched
to my actionbent, even after 4000+ miles I found i still lacked the
same sort of precise control I had on an upright. The bent seems to
have a mind of it's own.
How practical is it to think of riding a python in a group of other
cyclists?
front wheel drive, low racer, hands-off riding, 26 or 27 front and
back ....... have great appeal for me. I have a fairly well equipped
workshop but no welding nor brazing experience, and at 76 wonder if I
am not too old to start exploring a new field. i have a frame that I
could convert easily to a flevobike, perhaps that would be the way to
start.
Enjoy this forum immensely ......... regards to all, Brian in SC USA
