She needs to watch out for the police, they are attracted to nice red rides.

Wowzers, that's a nice bike. I'm recumbent ignorant so please don't spare the details - make, model etc.

Mrs. Cranky is ridin' in style.:thumb:

I like those new X-frame Suns. Much nicer looking bikes than their old models. Comfortable riding too.

And how can you afford to buy a bike when your windows are in such need of new paint?

Quite obviously a matter of having his priorities straight.

Thank You. Here are the specs. http://www.sunbicycles.com/sun/index.html (listed under new products).

This bike fit her needs for a low step-over frame and low BB height. The bike allows her to plant her feet at stops which not all the 'bents do (she's only 5'3").

All the money I save on sensless things like "Home Maintainance" goes into the bike fund.:innocent:

Is Easy Racers going to make a Titanium version? In which case the bike fund is even more a priority.

That would be the Ti Rush @ $5900

Mrs. Cranky done good! A very stylish ride.

You are a fortunate man. My better half doesn't have the least bit of interest in 2-wheeled pursuits at this point.

Congratulations to Mrs. Cranky!

My LBS has exactly the same bike out on the floor right now.

I rented one of the new X-3 trikes and rode it on the Root River Trail in Minnesota last September. That was fun. If I could sneak one into my garage undetected by Goldberry, I'd do it.

All I can think is that it's got the "X" factor going for it.

Why it's a bicycle, of course! :D

Sorry TWL but I couldn't resist.

It's a Sun X-1, 16/20, steel frame, ...new model as of late last year I believe.
It's the first one we've seen and it totally blew us away. It fits my 5'3" wife to a "T".

Very nice looking bent.
Also looks like you hijacked the cable box.
More cost savings measures for bike accessories?? :)

Very nice ride. I was considering one of those when looking at the EZ-1 or Cycle Genius Sparrow. They didn't have one in stock, but had the X-2 aluminum. If the X-1 rolls as easy as the X-2, you're going to have trouble keeping up with your wife.
I like these handlebar mirrors.
