Title: WTB: Recumbant Bike
Post by: Meest on March 05, 2009, 06:15:28 PM: If anyone knows of anyone looking to unload a recumbent, I'm interested in picking it up. I'm looking to get into riding one, along with my father.

They have a whole child board for recumbents.

You might also ask at Ski & Bike. Recumbent riders do exist in this town, I just have no idea where.

Post by: Meest on March 22, 2009, 04:12:12 PM: Yea, I can imagine. I saw a Bike-E recumbent for sale on the Fargo craigslist. But after some research found out they are no longer a company, and has an issue with their back supports having a faulty part... It was at a decent price (Around 350 or so I believe)

I wish I could find one for less than the price of a new one, as its hard to swallow the 1200 dollars or so to get into something you're not sure will stick.
