Item is no longer available--fellow recumbent rider here in Alaska now has it.

I forget what me x-seam is, but I am 74.5 inches tall with a 33 inch inseam...there is room for longer legged folks and I have had a much shorter person ride it (after adjusting)

So--Listing here for sale. Shipping estimate with Bikeflights is $200 (shipping from Alaska is expensive), so, $3,000 shipped. PayPal accepted. In excellent condition-never dropped/crashed. Purchased as a complete build originally Sram Rival, Sram GX 34/50, 165mm cranks 11-36 cassette TRP...

they also have a USA sight which brings shipping times down and eliminates the extra fees--but, the selection is more limited https://us.lightbicycle.com/

I use them on two fat bikes. Purchased the rims but had my local shop build up wheels with hubs of my choice. They are legitimate, and if you look through the mountain and road bike forums lots of folks have used them. I find their prices (if you spec with better hubs)are not that far off...

Everyone makes their own decisions about bikes, space, money, priorities--but yeah--it really comes down to it not being ridden. Now, that may change if the weather perks up a bit here--been rather overcast/drizzly, and the DF is my preferred ride in the damp weather. The other factor I find...

Felt the bicycle company-- I still very much enjoy riding my upright bikes in addition to recumbents. For off road and winter I ride a Trek Farley EX8--full suspension fat bike with 27.5x3.8 tires. This being Anchorage Alaska, that is November 1 -April 10 for snow riding, and June through...

Yep--that one is mine. Love it, but I also was seduced by a sexy Felt Gravel bike that was on clearance at the local bike shop, and there is only so much room at the inn (so my wife has told me). I am trying local right now, but if it does not go, I will post on here. I figure for the...

Just returned from a 7 mile ride. No one called in a drunk cyclist so I guess it was not too bad--actually, went well. Interestingly, one of the harder things to get used to was stretching my legs out while coasting and pedaling backwards. My speed was the same as on my upright road bike--but...

Welcome to the club. Yep--practice, practice, and more practice. I am new to Cruzbike also and riding an S40--40 degree seat angle so more upright than the V20. Winter is just ending here, and I am waiting for the the street sweepers to clean up the gravel and broken car parts from a winters...

Thx. I went with disc brakes so I have a bit more space to work with.

Anyone put an S40 in a travel bag like the Evoc--what worked, what didn't--pictures?

Yep--it is looking like it is not an easy task. I can ride my other bikes in the rain--may leave the S40 to nice weather only.

It is getting to be that time of year here in Alaska--snow is melting and everything is wet (well, and frozen). Ideally I would like fenders that are easy to attach, stable while in place, and easy to remove--if you have recommendations and photos of installed fenders, please post.

So, how many miles/hours did it take to get to that point for you? My first two wheeled recumbent was a catlike Musashi--great bike, but I remember "learning" to ride it--took a few weeks before it was normal for me. Then came the Rans Rifle- since this was similar to the Musashi, really no...
