Having problems with message search?
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 not have the problem with seat back they do.
I have the aerospoke wheels on mine and some
smooth tirs that hold 120psi, I do not remember which ones, I will look and shoot
out another message tomorrow.
She handles like a dream, is easy to get in
and out of(I am handicapped). An amazing machine.
I also changed a sprocket. I will get
all the exact numbers off my receipts tomorrow and get you the info, I will also
take a couple pics and send them out.
When I first got hurt, I was upset that I would
not be able to ride again, as I used to ride all the time. Now my cateye
says I average a bit faster than I used to on my wedge.
Let me know if there is anything else I can
let you know

Al,
Thanks.
One of my concerns is that except for one of my friends that rides a
TourEasy, all the others ride wedgy's, and good ones so I need a
trike that would be equivalent. I can do okay on the V-Rex, but
wanted something a bit faster and a trike. What did you do to your
expedition as far as wheels? I liked the looks of the 700
because of the large 700 in the back and thought that it would also be fast.
My other thought though was the speed, so I could still do the distance rides
over 55 miles with some small accessories that I would need.
Any more thougths?
After your coments, I will seriously look at the expedition. I
just like the larger wheels for less rolling resistance and a better chance to
be able to get high pressure tires when needed, but maybe your setup would be
what I need.
Thanks again,

Have you sat in a 700??
It is a great machine, with a lot of wonderful features, and they
handle great. BUT, they have a molded in seat with several curves in the
metal bars. I have found that a lot of people find them uncomfortable
after a few miles. I rode one and loved it, but I have spoken to many others
that feel the seat angles are in the wrong place and chafe on the hips or
shoulders when riding.
Just an fyi, I hope you find what you are looking for. After
riding them all I decdided upon the expedition, and I could not be happier with
my purchase. Needed to change the tires and a few things right when I
bought it, but the setup now is fast and handles well, is extremely durable,
just feels right to me.
Hope you can find the same for yourself!!
Keep up posted!

looking for a used speed or 700 (if there is one)
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
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
