Fd was Deore lx. It rides nicely and shifts smoothly. I couldnt pass it up. I'm going to try it as another commuter. Did I get hosed or a steal?

I posted here because the recumbent forum didn't look that frequented and I plan to use it as a commuter. But if I should have posted there please move this tread.
Congratulations! Looks like a nice and comfortable bike. Don't know much about a Bike E, but on http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/index.php you'll be able to find information about this bike, or people with experience with this bike. I seem to recall reading that a lot of people like this particular bike, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, here's a pic of my commuter: a 28" wheels recumbent with disc brakes. Started commuting on it since April last year. It's been great so far
