I have Bachetta Giro that i bought brandnew in late 2004. It has had only 3 trips to town from my home which totals 12 km. It has been kept in a heated garage...
I'm sorry, I don't mean to disrespect you, but I just bought a brand new Bacchetta Giro dual 26" for $1,500 American Dollars, even the most expensive fairing...
I paid my price in Canadian dollars two years ago when your American dollar was far stronger against the Canadian dollar. The ZZIP fairing was close to $500...
If you really want to sell your bike. You will need to do two things. First, is to put a fair price on it. $1000USD (~$1177CDN) might find you a buyer....
I went out last Monday and rode a variety of new recumbents. I've been a cyclist for a long time and 'bents have been looking better and better lately. Well,...
SB, Congrats! In my not-so-unbiased opinion, you just got the best bang for the buck in the recumbent industry! John Groweg 05 Aero 03 V-Rex I went out last...
Hi, I am new to the forum, and wondering whether anyone has got a Corsa they would like to sell. I am only looking for an aluminum one, not steel. I also need...
That's easy - go buy your wife one, too! Sue Well, today I went back and rode a Bacchetta Corsa again. They are changing the shifters to bar-end (I don't like...
Riders, Check out the updated Rally page at www.bacchettabikes.com/rally.html There are a couple of updates on the 2006 Suncoast Rally. Our route this year...
Hey, Mark! What about those of us who are even more budget-minded? $85/night is WAY too darned much money for a place to sleep a few hours, even if they DO ...

... No sites left at Fort DeSoto There is Camping at the KOA near the Bacchetta offices http://www.koa.com/where/fl/09144/ 1 room Kabin from $64 per night Tent...
Am I missing something? I have been 'bent curious since 2002 when I rode several in Colorado. At that time I nearly bought a Strada. As my first recumbent....
I bike up the Pinellas Trail and stop at that KOA regularly. Those "Kabins" are cute but for that price the Ho Jo's looks pretty good. There are tons of small...
I like you was told a highracer might not work well to begin with. However, I really loved the Strata and bought it anyway. 2000 miles later I still love it....
... It doesn't sound like it. You've done a pretty good anaylisis on your riding preference. If a "High Racer" is the bike you'll ride then so be it. There is...
... I use my 2005 Strada mostly for high speed (for me anyway) commuting :-). I've gone shopping with it only once or twice, but that was just a bagel run...
I am a beginner more or less and I just bought a Gyro 26 before Christmas and I love it. I rode a few while at the store, including a Gyro 20 and a cafe. I ...
I'm another beginner who bought a Giro 26 in July. It took me awhile to get used to it and for some time I hated to have to stop because it meant having to...
Hi, A Strada is my first bent. I seem to fit the scenario you are questioning as I bought one at the beginning of December and have been really enjoying it. I...
I bought my first 'bent in 2004. It was a 2003 Strada (if it wasn't orange, I would have bought it months earlier). I test rode many bents at Mt Airy and...
I agree with Bill and others: it takes time to get use to the new balance point. Last spring I got a Giro 20 and it took me almost 2 months to get really...
This summer I'm riding from Chicago to Seattle with my dad for his 70th birthday. he's riding a wedgie road bike, but I want to ride a recumbent. I was...
I would not recommend a cross country trip as a first tour. The fact that you are asking questions about tire widths suggests that you have a steep learning...
I would also suggest that you try and decide whether you want to ride a high bottom bracket or a low bottom bracket bike. That decision alone can make a big...
Throwing in my worthless 2 cents.... I'm still a wedgie rider (aint gots da dough ta change), but I am blessed with a whole team of bent riders. We have 4...
Mark, Your tail bone issue may be related to your seat back position being too high. The M5 seat and Euromesh are designed to be laid back so that your weight...
