*Descending on a long wheelbase is an experience we should all have at least a few times.* ** As the former owner of a long-wheelbase recumbent, I can attest that this is indeed a wonderful experience..kinda like pedaling a stretched chopper. I'm still a little dicey on the assymetrical stays, but the Rivendell Long Wheelbase Cruiser concept sounds pretty cool. Thinking of it as a chopper *really* makes me want to put a rod-operated front derailer on it. Hmm..when I think of it as a cruiser/chopper, the stays start to make more sense. Motorcycle cruisers are meant to do two things: Float down the road with much straight-line stability, and look stylish. Their looks aren't dictated solely - or even mainly - by function. That tube bends there, then gets pretty paint on it, because it looks cool that way. Hmm.. Joe "things that make you go hmm" Bernard Fairfield, CA.
