I did some research and I can tell that these are probably not too highly thought of. But I rode one today and paid $100 for it. It needs everything overhauled, but I loved the way it rode and could feel the potential. Anybody still ride one??? I am interested in thoughts/comment about the "centering" spring between the fork and frame....I'll post some pics if needed. Are there any serials numbers?? Can I tell when it was made?? I found them on Bikepedia; but haven't scoured all the pics yet.....

Never heard of it.... never seen one.... so I had to google it.

Nice looking and practical. Centering spring - like to re-center the front wheel after a turn?

Can't say that I've ever seen one. Kind of a semi-recumbent/crank forward?

Great bike.I own one since 95.Rebike 707.Spring taken off.Gary.

How powerful was the spring?? Would it hold the bars straight at rest?? While riding?? No hands?? The one that was on it was stretched and distorted and really didn't do anything.........

Spring is for preventing wheelflop at a stop. GT.

I just bought a Rebike 818 at a yardsale today for IMO decent price. I'd wanted to try a recumbent and found this one. After a little seat and handlebar adjusting I rode it around the neighborhood for a short ride. Really different feel than riding a regular bike ; a little wobbly at slower speeds and a little scary at faster ones .LOL I think it'll be fine once I get used to it . kirby

A little more fine tuning on the seat and I'm feeling more at home on my Rebike . This is a fun bike to ride . I rode it into town and back ( 7+ mile round trip) , got some looks , LOL . I think I'm going to enjoy riding this one . something different . kirby

For $100, it's not a lot of risk.
