Come to think of it, I've done a fair bit of upgrading.

1) New pedals - the kind that flat on one side and clip-in on the other

2) Mirrors - bilateral

3) Under seat racks. (Since removed, but will go back on as soon as I decide to take another tour.)

4) Back wheel rebuild. My spokes on the back wheel were popping so much, it reminded me of popcorn. I had the LBS build up a sturdy back wheel & haven't had trouble since.

5) Rotor cranks with 165 cranks & a Really Low granny gear. (Review here: http://www.bentrideronline.com/2004Feb/rotor_cranks.htm ) I put them on right after I had my knee 'scoped, and they seem to have helped.

The recumbent specific part:

6) New seat struts today. They hold my seat upright - when they are not broken. I replace the soft aluminum struts with cro-moly. These should be more sturdy.

7) A pretty seat cover. I'm on my second one. They just make the recumbent seat more interesting than the plain black one everyone else rides.

The bike has a fairing up front which came with the bike. I'm not responsible for that, but I'm keeping it.

I'm still running the stock Kenda Kwest fat high-pressure tires. They maybe aren't the fastest tires on the road, but they are reasonably bullet-proof.

I think I'm pretty much done changing thing on this bike (subject to change without notice). I'm dreaming about a second bike, and the upgrades and changes I'll make with that one - and the bike after that, and . . .
