Wouldn't your legs get a bit hot?

Pointless piece of junk.

Man that Reynolds decal totally dwarfed the frame decal.

That's like comparing a Ford GT40 to a Ford Mondeo. The Lotus is rad. This, not so much.

The same design and build team made the GT40 and the Mondeo?
There is quite a gap (30 years) between the GT40 (which Lola had a big hand in and a Mondeo which they certainly didn't)
Ford is a pretty big company with many special depts. so probably not the best comparison in the world there :-)
Maybe comparing one Colin Chapman design against another might be nearer the mark...

@dpres

Why doesnt the chain get in the way of the front wheel when turning?

It kinda looks like it should.

Sorry for being a bit thick :)

Cyfac's are nice.

Been looking alot at Guru bikes recently. Custom handmade carbon goodness.

I'd like a Geneo though.

Oh my thats nice,

But needs a new saddle and grips, then it would be perfect.

I love the engineering that goes into Recumbants - Rat Racer is ace, far more interesting than some bogo NJS with a sparkly paint job

The chain line runs directly paralel to the font wheel, so you can only turn the handlebars a couple of inches either way, making it useless in heavy traffic, It is designed to be used at speed where one leans into corners.

takes a while to get used to..

It'd be good if the photographer was actually able to use a camera, I can hardly see the thing.

The KGS pic of the red and black is just as bad TBH.
Here it is (DA build) on a white background.

1988 Tommaso Chrono TT

some are no doubt repost.... sorry about the gears, but lovely builds :/

Sorry about the gears??! BS! Gimme that C-record De Rosa!

that crono tt bike is beautiful!

c-record lo pro de rosa with deltas and vintage campag discs....
that is about the coolest bike, ever.

Also in terms of comfort, speed and storage the recumbent has you beat.

Yeah, in terms of not getting knocked off your bike coz people can see you and not looking like a muppet a regular bike with a decent storage has you beat. I'm not just saying I dont like this particular recumbent, I don't like any of them because IMO they are ugly and stupid.

^^You just ride one of these , simples.
VVVVVVV (i bet there's a booth somewhere there)

This looks awsome. Is it some kind of boxcar. ie no pedals etc just gravity powered?

Okay, not the best comparison. It was the first thing that came into my head. All I was trying to say is both are made by the same person, one is cool, one is not.

Better be careful or the cops will chase after you in this:

Where did you find this singular peregrine? any more? I've always thought they looked brilliant

Wow the new government really are implementing some serious spending cuts!
