Wow, even more options. Thanks for the info on the three bikes. I do most of my own bike maintenance so I am cofident I would be able to put together the kit.
To my eye the components on the Vision don't differ much from the Actionbent (there are 6 years in between), and on top of that the review in bentrider says the jet stream is quite fast. I had worried that cheaper frame and wheels would make it slower. The advantages of the Vision seem to be reduced to the slightly lower price, probably will hold its value better and I would be able to ride it before buying it. Any other angle I might not be seeing?
