Looking for a recumbent.

[BilboSmeggins]

Hi all. Just on the lookout for a decent recumbent. Primarily looking for a 2-wheeler, but would maybe consider a trike. Anybody got anything lurking at the back of the garage?

Thanks for the offer, but the Dingo doesn’t really appeal to be honest. Sorry.

 

[bobcolover]

No worries

I'm think of selling on one of my two-wheeled bents, probably the Nazca Paseo. Lovely bike but I prefer a more upright seat. Whereabouts are you?

I've Got an IOWA Linear, dynamo lighting, 3 X 7 twist grip gears, new rear tyre, new brake blocks F&R, New chain and seat pad.
Full mudguards & rear rack.
Original instruction manual and sales receipt.
It would suit someone up to 5' 8" ish.
£500. Delivered to mainland UK.
HTH

Hi Nigel

I think, at 6’1”, I may be a bit big. Appreciate the offer though

The Paseo sounds very interesting. A few more details would be good. I live in Worcestershire, but work down South, so Portsmouth would be feasible.

What’s your budget?

 

[BilboSmeggins]

Haven’t really got one. Just after a good bike.

I bought the frameset from laid back bikes. Carbon seat (medium size), carbon Meks/Saso fork, midships (detachable) and rear racks, mudguards, aerobars. Has 10-speed gearing and a compact double, but left shifter is for a triple. I've used it for a short tour in Holland and a few day rides and that's about it. Currently fitted with various lightweight bits to make it more sporty which I'd probably look to keep and swap out. Are you looking to tour or just use it for day rides?

 

[BilboSmeggins]

In my head, I’m off touring. In reality, probably day rides, lol. Don’t think I could get away with a medium seat though as I’m 6’1” and heavier than I would like.

 

[BilboSmeggins]

Looks like I’m sorted now.

So what are you getting?

Popped a deposit down on a Nazca Fuego. Will collect it in a couple of weeks.
