Bikes: '05 Raleigh Gruv 2.0, '74 Raleigh 20, '74 Raleigh Supercourse MkII (single speed), '01 Rans Tailwind (now primary commuter), '07 Rans Rocket

Yes, I have always had 20/20's -- a '91 Counterpoint Presto was the first (gorgeous but squirrely), then an '01 Rocket (much better handling than the Presto), and then the lightly used Tailwind. Compared to the SWB's which have their own charms, the Tailwind is slower, but somehow much more suited to the MUP commuting and touring that is the bulk of my present riding (certainly easier to get a foot down quickly when needed). Also, despite significant mileage on the SWB's, I always had a bit of recumbent-butt on both; it's never been an issue on the TW, though I have no insight as to why.
