Fredwina gets bent?

I know nothing about bents, but the ones I've seen have back supports. Looks like a nice bike though. Anything is good as long as it gets you back on a bike!! Take care.

Just looked at your link. It's not really a bent but looks like a great bike.

[Fredwina]

Yeah, it's more of quasi -bent. not sure if want to do the "full monty" yet

I sat on a bike like that. I found it odd and uncomfortable.
Have you tried one yet?

[Fredwina]

no - I need to heal more

So, this is in addition to your roadie, right??

Are you still planning to do brevets?

RANS has a good reputation among the 'bent crowd. I've been tempted by their Crank Forward bikes, but don't have an insurance settlement to spend. (That's OK, BTW)

Going strictly by what I've read, getting the angle of the seat right for you is vital to comfort. A little bit of trial and error is in order.

Also, be aware that you will be using the same muscles differently. It takes a while for a person to get strong on a bent.

I envy you. I think you'll enjoy the bike.
