I'm looking for a used recumbent, and found a RANS Gliss offered for sale.

Does anyone know what size riders this discontinued bike fits? X-Seam range? I'm tall - about 6'3" give or take a half inch.

Anyone have experience with this bike? Is buying a discontinued model generally a bad idea?

Thanks!

This link shows X-seam range all the way to 50 inches.
I have no personal knowleges of Glisses. I ride a 2000 Tailwind and couldn't ride it if my X-seam were more than 45. (6'1"). The pictures I've seen make the Gliss look a bit longer.
You need feedback from Gliss owners.
Edit: I now notice that they list the Gliss and Tailwind with same x-seam maximum. You're pushing the limits but it might work.

Thanks for the web site. That's useful.

Turns out the Gliss I found on (Boston area) Craigslist was snatched up already. But as luck would have it, I found another on the BentRider online for-sale forum. That one is offered by Bicycleman.com I've written to him with the same question, and I'm sure I'll get a straight answer. In the ad, he says he thinks it's a 2001.

I'll let you all know what he says... (or is Pete from Bicycleman.com listening?)
