Nice looking, at least in the pic, Radical Solo Bag at BROL. Will fit Original AB seat & perhaps new seat as well. Not mine, so you know as much as I do. ...
... It seems a bit silly to drive 80 miles for a couple of test rides, but if you happen to be out this way I have a Tidalwave just east of Cleveland, OH. I...

I'm new to recumbents, and I've been considering getting an Actionbent, but I have a couple of questions: 1.) The new LiteSpeed Metro looks good, but on the...
Just a bump to see if someone can measure this for me. I emailed Actionbent directly, but have not heard back from them. I'd really appreciate the info, my...
Well, I did a little more homework, and found a post that put the frame at 6" and the tie rod @ 6.5". Confirmation would be great! So far, this is double the...
Hi, Was considering purchasing a JS-II or JS-III soon, from the pixs on A/B website it appears that there may be limited seat recline with the telecoping...
Did you actually try riding the HPs or the Bachettas? I have a Jetstream II and I ride with the seat as upright as the frame will allow. For me that angle is...
I have 2 trikes sitting in my garage right now. The first one, from Randy's first batch, has 6" of clearance. The second one, orange, from Randy's second...
Just a quick question for you. When you are in 5-6" snow with your trike, do you use tire chains on your rear wheel? Sorry, one more. Have you considered...
Thx for reply. I wasn't able to test ride the HP or Bachetta due to poor weather on day I visited the shop. But I did try on a stationary for short time. I...
... you,some call this the "preying hampster" position. There is some adjustment in the flip it type stem. Beyond that many of us have reversed the riser,with...

... This is a common statement from folks who've bought a trike (not just the AB trike, but any trike). But it is nearly as common for this feeling to go away,...
Thanks! This is helpful. I've never ridden an Actionbent or even seen one in person, so I'm trying to form an accurate impression by looking at the pictures...
When I sat on my first H Velotech Grasshopper (my brother's in Germany) I was somwhat taken aback (pun intended) by the extremely reclined seat position. Now I...
I am going to be buying my first recumbent soon and am considering the Jetstream w/oss. I have always done my own maint. on my diamond frames, and even done...
Hi Ken, welcome to the group. AB's make GREAT first recumbents, especially for someone as comfortable working on bikes as you are. JS w/OSS is the original ...
I have a JS1, although the recline at max is less than the HR's It's plenty for me. I don't no of a diference in recline, But the original seat is much more...
