At your age and your wifes age and the Indicated conditon of you both I can tell you this for shure.

You BOTH will ride a Recumbent LWB or a CLWB far more than ANY Diamond frame.
If you look into the Tadpole trikes or even the recumbent delta trikes you will ride even farther and MORE than the ones I mentioned above.

No wrist pain,
No neck pain,
No rear end pain,
No looking down at your front wheel because your neck hurts so bad pain.
And Mr.,,the parts of you that rides on those DF Bicycle seats, even the padded ones will teach you a lesson in the comming months
I promiss you this....

I can finish any ride, any distance, double or triple the best I could do on a Diamond frame
and just sit on the bike resting, not needing or wanting to get out of the seat, just thinking,,,wow I could do that again right now.
And once or twice I have.

I swear to GOD this Is true !

Or,,don't dare to be different and those DF's will spend lots of time In the garage while you two eat Advil and rub BenGay....

Take a look,,,, and yeah, I lean right back In my Easy chair and ride XD



The white one, A Long wheel base (67") Easy Racer Tour Easy LE model,
The Red Delta trike, a Compact long wheel base (CLWB) Sun EZ-3 SX.

I am 54 now, 195 lbs and can spin out the top gear on the trike.

The White LWB,,not so.
I can hold a steady cadence in gear 23 or 24 only, when I go the bike In october 2012 I could only hold steady In gear 22.

AGAIN,,With these bikes It's just me, my heart, my lungs and my legs all working fine for as long as i Like,,PAIN FREE !
