new member looking for a used speed or 700 (if there is one)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #367 of 702 |
I've been a recumbent rider for 8 years from Rans V-Rex and Tour Easy. Want a
more
comfortable and faster ride for hills (northern california - lots of hills) For
the money I
would spend on a P-38, I would rather get a 700 (preferably) or a speed.
Purchased new,
they are really not that far apart in price, but since I have never ridden any
distance on a
trike, I'm not sure what would be best. I am also only 5'7" and 160 lbs. I
figure if I can get
a used trike I can put the extra money into components.

Thanks for any help - see you down the road.

Tom

With the 26 on the back and the 20 on the front I think it is just as fast or faster than the 700, but has several more inches of ground clearance, and does...

Another thing to consider if you are doing some upgrades for speed would be to install a Schlumpf Speed Drive or High Speed Drive. Not cheap, at about $500,...
