I can't add much to Jay's evaluation of the Musashi. A big-footed rider can still get foot interference with the front wheel on low speed turns. It is, indeed, a comfy bike, although the reason I have mine is the previous rider couldn't make the one-size-fits-all seat comfortable for him. He is fairly tall and long-waisted. Though it's not a lightweight, it's not heavy, and the frame is so rigid, it has good efficiency for acceleration and hills. As for the 700, the new model addresses rolling and air resistance concerns, but mine were neck comfort and weight. The trike is fun to ride, and handling is easy, but it was a poor choice for touring. I ride it regularly because it is fun, but also it gives me a workout and keeps my legs in better shape.
