So how many recumbent riders have we?

Hi Paul

Yes she is a Go-One 3. Although she has 27 speed I plan to upgrade the cranks for more performance as my largest ring is only a 50 and I have eyes on a 57 - which I hope will help me get to new heights in the speed records.

She has been to Portsmouth once but normally I do a ride down around Lee-on-Solent, Hill Head and Gosport on the weekends or off to the new forest.

Cars are very scared of her which suits me fine. She has full lights tail and head lights with and electric demisting fan for the rainy days. So I am never really bothered about the weather as I am always dry. Winter only requires long leggings and a shirt and jumper as you are not inthe wind.

Maybe see you on the road some time - I am looking at trying to get her up to the Friday's Run to the Coast ride on 13 May to Brighton and then will then ride back to Southampton from there provided I can get her to London for the midnight start.

Is that one of Ian's (Wheel NV) trikes.

I bought my Catrike from him and have been really impressed by his service.

No, not one of mine, that turned into a saga that became more trouble than it was worth, nice velomobile though.

 

[Hedgehoguk]

No I got her direct from Germany (Koln in fact).

They do need tweeking until you get them all sorted to your requirements, that said I am very happy with mine. As I said I probably have more lights than I need and will soon be adding disc wheels and a larger cranks set up front for more speed.

Hedgehog,

Excellent. I'm still thinking about a velomobile. The mango seems to provide the most bang for buck, although I'm attracted to the robustness of the Rotovelo.

A group of us do a Friday evening leisure ride along the coast from Locks Heath to Gosport and back once a month. We eat at The Star in Gosport before the return. If that's of interest I can give you the next date. Would love to see your Go-One.

Ooh a velomobile! I have major lust for a carbon Quest, it'll take me a few years to save for one though.

 

[Hedgehoguk]

Hi Paul

That sounds like a plan. I ride down that way quite often but on my own through Titchfield and Hill Head and onto Gosport so could be fun to get out and about with others.

Ho BentMikey

I have it on good authority that one of the European Velo's will be produced in the UK soon if there is enough interest.

That said I also know the price will be lots less than what you are charged in Europe.

But My lips are sealed at this point.

 

[BentMikey]

I'm gonna guess and suggest that it's a WAW. I rather like the WAW, it's perhaps the best looking velo out there, IMO. That might even be enough to persuade me away from a carbon Quest, LOL!

 

[PaulM]

I'm going to guess that it's the Quest, and hoping that it includes the Strada model too.

The WAW is my favourite velomobile shape - it just looks like the nose of a Spitfire in bike form!

Velo Vision is currently testing the Rotovelo, so look out for a review soon! Having had a go in it at SPEZI, I can confirm it feels quite robust, less 'precious' than a fibreglass or carbon model. You certainly wouldn't agonise over the slightest scratch. In fact we were debating how long it would be before it was covered in stickers!

Yo!
One Quantum Toxy here.

I'm a rookie recumbenteer, and I must admit I find the Toxy to be a twitchy rascal. Persevering though.
