Several of the participants in the recently completed Texas Time Trials had either met or seen William Pruett. William our(Peggy & Steve) cycling coach(Coriovelo.com).

He was so impressed with all the recumbents at the Texas Time Trials that he just purchased a shinny , new Corsa SS. Not a bad bike to start out on as your first 'bent.

Now ,we need to get him out to get some miles on the bike. He only has 15+ bikes. This will add to his collection in a unique way, this is his one & only receumbent.

He's a little pre-occupied at the moment as he has a Tri-athlon to compete in soon(Florida in 2 weeks time). Welcome to the world of bent-dom.

Wow, that's excellent! As soon as he slows down a bit, you should get him to stop by the forum.

I've got one word to say about William riding a Corsa S/S: "Sebring"

Yeah - William can come crew for us :).

I knew he was interested in a bent by his last email and offered the loan of my xstream, but I see he bypassed everything and went for the gusto! Good on ya, William!

Bud,yes I gave William the rbent address. Hopefully, he will stop by the forum from time-to-time.

Bryan, the Corsa SS is not replacing any of Williams DF bikes. Just another toy. For now he's a tri-guy, these ultra distances on a bike are not for him(now anyway, but you never know). He's going to use the SS as a tool so he can relate to his recumbent clients.
You gotta love that.

Greg, I doubt that William will come to Sebring & crew, unless you wanna flip the bill for travel & his time. Besides, I'm not sure what Tri's that might be going on then(or what he may be training for).
