I have so enjoyed my 'bent experience so far. Even the pains of getting the bike 'right' for me have been overcome by the uniqueness and fun of ownership, a large part of which has been the encouragement from this forum.
My little 20" wheel bike has been a great introduction and I must admit to being hungry for more and a bit miffed at missing out on the orange performer that sold yesterday on
Ebay for a mere £460 :envy:
Mine had over seat steering and while comfy, I convinced myself under seat was more comfy, which I think it is (and, with a Spock raised eyebrow) more Logical. But, much more of a pain in setup terms and getting on/off. So, Im gonna persist with USS as long as possible but feel I might end up reverting.
Ive never tried to look back over my shoulder as mine had a dinky little but great functioning mirror when bought and upon fitting the USS I bought a cheap Halford plastic bar-end mirror that while flimsy is surprisingly handy, an essential item.
Drinking on the move is 'awkward', Im thinking of putting a pannier on the 'bent and trying a camelbak inside.
I think someone said D.Tek would let prospective owner try some bikes? I believe the same seller also used Ebay now.
Good Luck.
