Clydesdales: This bike comes with one spare rear wheel (48 spoke Weinmann Touring Rim (https://shop.sunrisecyclery.com/item/12185/) and Tire with a Touring Tire). I picked up the spare tire from my LBS when they were getting ready to go out of business.
I'll throw in a spare tube for the front and the rear.
Your pedals.

TEST RIDE
Let me know if you want to test ride and I'll put some pedal on it for you. Or I'll install yours for the test ride.

PICK UP & DELIVERY OPTIONS
I'm located north of Kansas City in a quaint village called St. Joseph, Missouri.

I'd prefer you pick it up. It fits on a standard bike rack with no problems.

I could deliver it to the KC area if someone were really without a way to arrainge pick up. But you'd have to make a pre-delivery deposit that covered my gas there and pack and another $50 unrefundable. That $50 would come off of the total due at delivery. But the gas money is mine. $0.35 a mile there and back.

I would deliver it to a North KC bicycle shop if you make pre-paid arraingments with them for the packing and shipping. I'd drive it there at no charge.

WHY THIS BIKE IS FOR SALE
I bought this bike when I had another job and the possibility I would have the vacation time necessary to do a few Rails to Trails week-long tours. But those days are gone and I am selling it because I have settled into a grove with another bike I just love (DF) and I mostly just do local riding. For two years now it just hangs in my garage and begs to be ridden. I just never got bent fever. So please free this bent to live a long and happy life.

PRICE
$300 Cash firm.

REVIEWS
This seems lika an accurate review (http://www.easystreetrecumbents.com/bikes.html)
This bike has been written about all over the internet. Do yourself a favor and check craigslist and eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-EZ-1-Recumbent-24-Speed-Great-Entry-Level-Bike_W0QQitemZ290143159972QQihZ019QQcategoryZ106949QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem) and the net for NEW and used prices. Learn about this model and make a well-informed choice. I believe you will find this bike to be a good deal at $300. These bikes hold their value once they are purchased and become a used bike. They don't hold their new purchase price value from what I have seen. If you buy it and then don't like riding bent then sell it like I am. You'll likley get your full investment back.

The other thing you should know is that the bent always gets you a smile from pedestrians and most drivers. Also for some reason it doesn't attract the ire of angry rednecks like a road bike and spandex does. Your milage may differ.
