Hi all, Its funny that all of the wanna be's mention the bacchetta bikes in there promo's. It took guys like Rich, john and mark to force a change in the bent ...
the swanson seat is about 2in. wider at the bottom, 3in. at lumbar. you have to drill your own holes, and use the bacchetta hardware. dale aero. ... ...
Do you like the Swanson seat better than the M5. It sounds like the seat pan is more comfortable. How about the padding. What is the thickness? The canoe...
comfort is much better. padding is 2in. like the m5, i think a little thinner would be better for me. im trying to contact karl to see what he uses. dale aero ...
Two thoughts after looking at the close-up photos: - It doesn't appear that they have put the brake in the right location relative to the rear tire to allow...
Marc, I will be watching initial reports and tweaks (wheel swaps) closely. If the poorly done (many errors)RANS web page is to be believed, I could ride that...
Does anybody have an idea of what this thing weighs? I just skimmed the article but did not even see a reference to the tubing used. Also, that looks like a...
I think they say 25 and change with the new lighter seat, 28+ with the stock seat. Regards, Nathan ... Does anybody have an idea of what this thing weighs? I...

Myself and I believe Barry as well were responding to your "originated the concept" remark which is an overly strong statement. I agree that Bacchetta is...
Kevin, I concluded that touring on an Aero was not desireable. So, I bought a Strada frameset and equipped it for touring. I have a picture or two of my...
Ouch, You'd think that with triangulation they could go with very light tubing aft of the head tube. The price would likely be more though. Oh well. If you...
I think Bacchetta may have been the first to use a straight (easier to manufacture) monotube, the big stick. Am I wrong? My knowledge of recumbent history is...
... Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Interesting that this will be available in March as RANS didn't make any mention of it at Interbike. I guess...
Has anyone tried a Pantour front hub on an Aero/Corsa/Vgeneric 650-650 high racer ? My Ti Rush's ride & control both improved perceptibly when I upgraded from...
OOoooops, I just saw a picture of a Kingcycle! How about "Bacchetta was the first to use a mono tube with dual big wheels and the superman position"? Accurate?...
Bob, I was going to. I had one on my VR40, 349mm, and it helped. On my Aero, the weight balance is rearward, plus it has a carbon fork. I'd like some rear ...
Everyone who is really expert in recumbents told me it was a waste of money to put a Pantour front hub on a rear-loaded Ti Rush. Turned out they were wrong, at...

I would guess that a Bacchetta dealer can get the hardware. Hostelshoppe used to have them on their website and if I recall they were around $100. Tom...
Interesting, but I am looking for low travel high frequency suspension for road riding. I have a feeling that the Orca is a bit over my weight limit as well....
Since someone mentioned trailers, I just ran into what may be a bargain: http://tinyurl.com/3eu8p This is no recommendation, I know nothing about trailers. JV...
