Title: Catrike 700 question
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Apr 26^th, 2010, 11:35pm

A longtime pal of mine called me up today, and said, "Hey, just thought I'd let you know that I've joined the recumbent world, due to a developing neurological problem that doesn't allow me to keep riding a regular road bike... after a LOT of research, I bought a Catrike 700 over the weekend, and took it out yesterday for the first time... WOW!!!!"

The conversation continued on for a bit, about the RBENT group, etc. so he should be signing on here soon... meanwhile, he lives south of White Rock lake, so I'd like to hook him up with the guy who lives at the northeast corner of the lake who has the all-black 700 who speeds around there every once in a while. I can't remember his name - who's got contact info for him?

Hmmm... I don't know who that guy is but your friend might also look for Action Lad at the lake. He rides his yellow 700 there, frequently on Sunday afternoons. Show him the video of the HOT Catrike Rally so he'll know who to look for. ;D

I remember a guy who lives there who has/had a windcheetah. His name was CHip but I don't think he's a member of rbent. Sorry to hear about his problem, but thankfully he'll still be able to have fun cycling!

Chip's wife rides a Catrike 700. They pretty much only ride with each other.

Hello, All!
I'm back after quite an absence. Just too busy riding the trike. "Thunder & Lightning", as reported, is decommissioned. After yielding over its components to the new frame, it will head to the chopper. Catrike has a crash replacement policy in which one may purchase a new frame after an accident for a cut rate. In the 700's case, $650. Just a great group to deal with from order to delivery...and beyond.

Be well, ride safe.
