Is velo about? i thought it would be up his street
Sorry V

Your not sorry at all otherwise you wouldn't have said it :roll:

Thats a Cruz bike and it is a cheapo y-frame attached to a retrofit front wheel drive kit. Rather clever attempt to get folk onto recumbents cheaply. Kit including seats about £250 and a second hand catalogue bike added to the mix is still half the price of the cheapest purpose built recumbent out there. You also cant compare recumbents with ordinary bikes as per aesthetics, they're always going to look odd but the Cruz is no worse than many.

I like them

I purchased a set of this seller a few years back, they were mint as he'd swapped out for bounce, he recently had a set for sale

Need long steerer for ahead, are they bolognas? I was expecting more silimlar to my 2x4s but with a single position drop out and GT embossed on the angle down to the dropout.
