Hi I thought I would pop in here and ask a few questions about the Giro20. there is a shop called Urbanes up here in Toronto and they have nice Yellow Giro20...
... First off, are you sure about the price? Below is a cut/paste from www.ucycle.com <www.ucycle.com%20> website. Bacchetta Giro Built with the commuter and...
... I've had a Giro 20 for about 8 months now, and done about 2800km on it. Love it! When I first rode it I found a smooth start was difficult, and I found ...
I have more than 9,000 miles on my 2004 Giro 20 that I use for commuting and touring, and I love it. For commuting I have a Rans laptop bag that mounts over...
I have a Giro 26 and I love it. It is a fast bike, and long trips are very much a breeze on it. Much better than on my DF bike. I have had no problems with...
... I had that problem for a bit, but fiddling with stem height and stem angle (which is the biggie) solved it. Maintly because I have one thigh longer than...
thanks for the previous answers :-) Now which Giro would be faster and easier to get used to?. and how is the Giro in windy/ wind gusts conditions?. would a...
... Having only ridden the 20, can't help with faster/easier. I suspect they are much of a muchness for speed, the lower BB will be easier to get used to....
Paul, IIRC, you said this will be your first recumbent. I would say that the Giro 20 will be an easier first recumbent than the Giro 26, but they are both ...
... The 26/650c setup is good. You want to be somewhat high, they call them high racers btw. :) Good visibility, and you will fit in better with the upright...
thanks again for the replies =-) I am going to test the Giro's in the spring and am leaning towards the26 as it seems would be faster than the Giro20, I will...
I also hear that unless you are a pretty tall person 5'10 or larger, the 26 frame is a little difficult to handle when stopped. I have a friend that tired to...
... I've had people no shorter than I say that of the 20 too. I suspect some of that is about flexibility - many people are surprisingly inflexible in the...
... This is one factor, though I think it comes into play mainly when your X-seam isn't long enough for the seat config. The factors I can see are: - size of...

no worries about height I am 5/11 but the worry is I am 275 pounds but I'll drop that after I get my hernia fixed From: "Zebee Johnstone" <zebeej@...>...
... If it's any consolation I'm 95kg which is 210lb, the bike has carried easy another 15kg of shopping and stuff, so total 250 or so, and never even blinked....
I'm buying a Strada this Spring. I went to Bacchetta's website and got totally confused because their Specs are inconsistent on the site. Anybody know what...
Gary, The spec on the BACCHETTA web site is correct. The confusion may be due to the spec and price change for 2007. The 2006 bikes were spec¹d with SRAM X9 ...

You'll enjoy the Strada. Be prepared to go fast. I was riding Vision SWB and LWB doing about 14-15mph ave. My Strada does about 16- 18 mph on the same...
I bought the Strada yesterday. The standard equipment list for the 2007 Strada is very different than 2006. At first it looks like a downgrade but upon...
... ONly time I tried wireless cadence it didn't work because the sender angles were designed for an upright. I tried all sorts of ways but couldn't get it to...
Thanks for the input re: the cadence sensor angles. The LBS wants to help with the install so they can learn about it so I won't be stuck with it if it...
... I have one of the wrist watch ones on the handlebar, it reads the chest sensor without problems. It does get a bit confused when I go over the Sydney...
I finally updated my web site. Goto http://www.wadler.org/Biking/Bike_AddOns/bike_computer.php. Save you from reinventing the wheel. :-) Herman LCI #1238 ... ...
I am thinking of getting one of those german hub generator for when I buy my Giro 20 , my LBS has one all ready built in a 20 inch wheel, does any one use...
... I use a SON hub in my Giro 20 with the Lumotec oval light. Wonderful! They won't work with your old light, you need to get the ones designed for dynamos....
... I have a Schmidt disc brake hub on my 2003 Aero. It works very well though you need to use it with lights specifically designed to be powered by dynamos,...
I also have a SON hub and the Inoled 20 LED light, but on a Giro 20, for a little less than a year. Been very safisfied with it. I've gotten lots of "cool...
