Just saying, its part of the parts pick.. they come out of the carton like that.

in specifics: Navigator 1.0 single middle sized chainring rigid fork and seatpost..
non adjustable angle stem..

costs less.. get less..

NB smaller size + WSD proportionally will have less reach to the bars
so posture will be more comfortably upright.

and you can look over your shoulder to see behind you.

[on a recumbent you absolutely need a mirror. ]

perhaps the OP does not want to be so low as to be harder to see
in city traffic situations..

recumbents are fine on open roads.. IMHO.. longer WB the better..
