Looking good Bud! Is that your Christmas present? What a beauty. And don't laugh Ned, I had rearview mirrors on my old bike and just can't feel safe without them. Haven't been able to find them to buy again--they had long curved chrome tubes that really got them out there and gave a good view of the road behind me.

Yes, mirrors are even more important on a recumbent bike, since you can't easily turn around to see behind you. I have a mirror on my helmet.

The bike is a RANS XStream, and Rose rides one just like it. A friend said that we're now the Dos XStreamos............LOL.

Bud, does that mean Rose got the primo bike first! Or did the two of you just get the matching pair. Either way, I'll be the two of you turn heads on the road.

Judy, Rose has had her XStream for a while. It was a prototype before the bike went into production, and was test ridden for an extended time by a couple of friends of mine (four of us made a trip to the RANS factory in Hays, Kansas, to pick it up). When it came time for it to be sold, I got a good deal on it, and it was perfect for Rose's first fast bike. She loves it. Her bike is 3 1/2 inches shorter than the production bikes ended up being, and wasn't quite long enough for someone with long legs like me to get the optimum recline while riding, or else I may have been tempted to buy it for myself.

My bike was one of four bikes used by the RANS 4 man race team at RAAM in 2009. A friend bought it shortly after the race, and he just sold it to me.
