Title: Edge Haiku
Post by Patti on Jun 28^th, 2016, 11:37am

Thinking of re-homing my Haiku. Still pretty much like new, I've decided after riding it just a few times that the 700 wheels just don't suit me. Might consider a trade if someone has a nice, small frame bike in excellent condition, set up for a short rider - but I already have a Phantom so I don't need another one of those. I don't have a specific price in mind just yet. I have a devil of a time ever trying to post photos on here so if you would like pics, email me and I will send you some.

I would like to own this, but unless someone has a jones for an Apache... However, here are pictures of this beauty for everyone.

Looks like a cool bike, from what I've seen online. If you don't mind me asking, what was bad about it? Too high up at stops? Just wondering since I've got a bad case of new bike-itis.

It is an interesting bike. I have a shorter than average x-seam but can reach both the ground and pedals even though it has 700 wheels. When I ride it, though, I feel too high and have never been able to work through the feeling that the bike is, overall, just a little too much bike for someone my size. It's beautiful, still very much like new, and the only thing wrong with it is the Velcro patches that hold the seat foam in place do not stick as well as they should. This bike would probably be an excellent fit for my husband but I've already bought the man two trikes and a bike. This one needs to go to someone else. ;)

Attach the patches to the foam with hot glue. Will not melt the foam and the patches will be attached permanently. The existing adhesive on the back of the Velcro will not affect the hot glue bond. I've attached Velcro to my bikes' pads, using this method, since I noticed Bacchetta uses it.

That's a great tip, Jay. Thanks!

No real interest so I guess I'll keep or try it on EBay. Thanks all!

Bike is no longer for sale. It lives with me now.
