Welcome to feet-first cycling. Your rapid adaptation to the Bacchetta is a most excellent beginning. I agree with Jeff Willis that a logical next step is long test rides on a variety of styles to choose your first recumbent. Though carbon forks can make a difference on bad road surfaces you will also find significant variations in frame design, seats and tire selection.

Be sure to apply appropriate discounts to advice you receive about what particular style, brand or model of recumbent you should buy. That often comes from riders with more enthusiasm than experience. The best recumbent for you may be completely different from the best one for me.
