Looking at my first recumbent purchase. Looking at the Burley Sand Point anyone have any input on these. Thanks ;)

Looking at the same model, seems to be a good bent at a great price. I know they have a seat cover for it. You might want to look at purchasing the struts.

Burley is know for quality bents - if that's what you've got your eye on, I duobt it's a bad choice!

Thanks for the input, I was checking them out at Calhoun Cycle he said the only difference in the Sandpoint & Koosah are the crank, derailleurs & shifter. They said I could upgrade them to better ones down the road. Sandpoint $740 Koosah $900. I'm thinking to save alittle now and pay later.....maybe.....tough decision.

I recommend saving a little now and starting to save for your next bent. Your next one will be more expensive anyway, so ride the SandPoint as is. :)
