Show us your 'bent.

My Catrike Dash, set up for a fortnight of touring in France with home made sidepods.

Loving the "aero" box on the back - a very nice bent indeed (and sooooo clean ... ).

Cheers,

Ah, the slippery slope. Next you'll want to try one, just to see. Then, we have you....

Although I'm not a total 'bentist, I have uprights for day to day use and convenience. But if I had a garage at the flat, and a Brompton for train travel, I'd use my trike much more and maybe ditch the 'normal' uprights - currently it does leisure rides of any distance, because of the comfort aspect.

(Seriously, if you get a chance to try one, bike or trike, then do. If you're ever likely to be over East Anglia way, Kevin at Dtek does 'experience' sessions where you pay a small fee and get to try all sorts. Don't be put off if a two wheeler feels wobbly at first, it's just a case of re-jigging your balance a bit. A trike will just be easy.)

LOL I would probs "Have a go" but I just couldnt ever see myself using one TBH, too paranoid about being so low in the mean streets

EDIT: Although the thought of "Get a Recumbent, Have a power nap at red lights" does appeal

Luvly: it looks brand new!

Well, it was new and clean when the pictures were taken... about two years ago !

I'd love a gander at your Windcheetah, but despite being logged in, I'm getting a message that I do not have permission.

Nice yellow SPM you had there - must admit I rather wished I'd splashed out the extra few quid rather than have yet *another* grey/silver bike !

The new addition - HP Velotechnik Gekko picked up form Bikefix this morning.

This is a stablemate for the Catrike following problems at work with bikes being interfered with.

Looks like a Rohloff?

It is!

After Ian fitted my Catrike with a Rohloff, I wouldn't have one without. Solves all the problems of having to plan gear changes when you stop.

Could you describe, or provide pics of the cable routing please? The derailleur thingy is just a chain tensioner then?
Difficult to discern: is the shifter on the r/h bar?
