Catrike, sory CatBIKE

[Cunobelin]

Catrike now have a new "Low Racer" bike in their catalogue.....

Depending on how low it is*, it looks worthy of consideration.  I await the Bentrider Online review with great interest.  Unfortunately exchange rates probably will make them pretty pricey.

* I read somewhere that it had 700C wheels - which would perhaps make for a fast bike but puts the pedals way too high for me.

700C rear, 451 front. I wouldn't expect bottom bracket height to be a problem, but front tyre availability is a bit thin (Duranos, and ?).

You can get a 35-451 from M5 but mine hardly lasted any time so just went back to thin ones.

Can't see it ever being a challenge to the eponymous Fujin Xtra Lite (whatever they're called) - can you?

There is a brief write-up on recumbents.com: The Recumbent Bicycle and Human Powered Vehicle Information Center

"If you ride a pink bike, you had better be fast."

Speaking of cranking, that was the one place where the relatively small diameter aluminum frame gave itself away as there was fairly significant boom flex

Oh. That's a pity. Not fatal, but I was hoping that the integrated seat and odd addition around the headset would have improved that.
