Hello Guys & Gals, I am fairly new to the bent world and have checked out a few rides. I went down to the Sunday Portland end of the STP and was able to check...
I have an original (2003) model Strada that I'm getting ready to sell. It has about 1500 miles on it. Medium frame in orange. No obvious scrapes or dings. ...
Hi all, first post here. I'm considering a recumbent and a Bacchetta Corsa or Aero at that. The Bacchetta website seems thin on specs on each model page. Are...
Alan: I have a very clean 05 Strada with a ROTOR Triple Crankset. The bike only has about 2,000 miles on it. It also has a new Fastback Carbon Slim seat bag...
Does any one know if their hard shell seat works on the Corsa, their web site does not say it is an option. Also, can the Corsa be bought in any other color...

I was typing a reply to this as I saw Mark's post come through. In other words, if you want a Corsa, you can have it in any color you want, as long as it's...

Or - you could purchase the frame, fork, and carbon seat from Bachetta, have the frame repainted before assembly, and add your favorite components for a one of...

We all have our own opinions, but here's mine Computer - Cateye Astrale 8. Not wireless, I had a wireless Sigma and found it had annoying quirks. The Astrale...

Congrats. Sorry you didn't see my Strada listing. I'm about an hour from Chicago. You'd have gotten a ROTOR crankset , two bags and I'm coming to Chicago...

took the strada out for a short (5mi) moring ride on the mostly desserted roads and a couple more questions Water bottle / accessory mounts: I was looking at...
To mount the bottle cage you should burn through the mesh with a soldering iron or a heated up nail. This will keep the mesh from unraveling. As far as the...
And I <never> stay pegged on the white line. I can ride it, but I always stay 2 or 3 feet to the left of the white line--staying on the line invites motorists...
Give yourself some time to get your muscles trained. I was frustrated at first but kept at it. You'll feel slow and weak at first but it won't last. I've...
