One of the recumbents styles ( the crank forward ) caught my eye because i really need something for the hills , slopes round here , and I'd heard something good- and bad things ( In fact I posted about this here )

At 24 lbs then Zenetik looks like another possible option , although cross bar would admittedly make it an akward one .

The problem is I would need to either assemble it myself ( I am total newbie ) or find someone to do it ( Im way up North so not easy ) in addition to getting hold of the parts .

If you look at the Rans site here , you will see 3 version for Zenetik , but no parts or fully assembled bikes .
