If I may ask - what seatpost do you use? My Friday fit is now good (they had to send me another seatpost), but I have 2 other bikes with issues...

She's a beautiful bike - can't wait to see her all put together!

I've been using a BMX layback seatpost. The setback would be pretty extreme for most people but works well for me.

Here is one similar to the one that I took with me.

Here is another similar to what I have on my current mountain bike.

I had a BF Pocket Rocket, and it was one of the best bikes I ever owned. Performs flawlessly, easy to pack, and I took it everywhere....if I only could find a recumbent one now...

I think they used to make one called a Sat'rday. They have a pre-owned one for sale on their site now. http://community.bikefriday.com/node/11311

Must. Not. Open. Link.

Seriously, I've been wanting a recumbent that's easier to take places than the rather large bike I have now. I'll just have to wait 'til I win the lottery, though.

And I won't even open the link. I know better.

LOL ... MOB, your willpower is much stronger than mine. I've got a bad habit of checking Craigslist and when I do, WHAM! the new bike urge hits and I can't resist, to my husband's dismay. Lately I think he's lost track of the bikes I do have, so one more might not make a difference.

I picked up my bike a couple of weeks ago. Sorry hadn't posted pictures yet.

But here are a couple of the put together bike. It comes with an extremely adjustable stem which I send back to them once I get the fit dialed in. They then send me a custom stem made to those measurements.

Here's a picture of some shortened 6503 cranks I had put on the bike. Mark Stonich of bikesmithdesign.com does good work.

BTW, I took it out for a short ride last weekend, and I think I'm going to really like this bike!!!
