On the lookout for a touring recumbent with USS

[Slave To The Viking]

Hiya folks,

First of all, I'm new round these parts, so the humblest of forelock-tugging humble apologies if this is supposed to be posted elsewhere. But...

I'm after a touring recumbent (two wheels, pretty please) with underseat steering. Not a fan of tillers, open-cockpit, J-bars, etc. An Azub SIX, HPV Streetmachine, Nazca Gaucho, etc. - a luggage-friendly all-rounder.

I'm in North Yorkshire, but I'll travel for the right bike.

Cheers everyone

I've got a Nazca Gaucho 26 set up for touring. Full racks and a SON hub. I'm in Sheffield.

Message me if you're interested.

Just in case anyone reads the above about the Gaucho and thinks maybe this is now all done and dusted - unfortunately it didn't work out: I'm still after a bike.

My Gaucho has aerobars. Note to self - read more carefully

It's a shame, it really is, but I just don't get on as well with above-seat steering.

I really thought I'd like aerobars before I actually tried them, but my monstrous legs need more clearance to feel comfortable. I'd possibly grow to tolerate them (the bars, not the legs), but the first time I tried USS it felt perfect...and I'd prefer to go with immediately perfect rather than potentially eventually tolerable.

I have a nice USS touring recumbent for sale.
Only thing is that it's about 11ft long and has 2 seats 
Great fun to ride though

Hmmmm.

I mean, I guess I didn't specify my ideal seat-count, fair enough, but I'd say "one" is - coincidentally enough - both the maximum and the minimum.

Hi there, we messaged on BHPC  about my Strretmachine, but I let you down and decided to keep it. BUT I have the contact details of a Streetmachime GT if you are interested. Pm if so and I’ll whizz his details over to you, it’s via the CTC forums, so genuine, and he’s had it a few years. Cheers

Details sent.
