I have been a serious roadie for about 5 years and would like to change things up with riding a recumbent a few times a week. What are some good entry level brands that are not to $$$ but are still used for speed...If I enjoy it I may only use the wedgie on group rides...

Currently I ride about 100-150 miles a week and think it would be benificial to use the different muscle groups that I would on a recumbent...

Thanks for your help...

Bacchetta Cafe, about $1000 and I doubt you'll see much loss of speed once you get the muscles working properly.
