Know why Performer recumbents are so reasonably priced? It's because you build them yourself! They are practically kits. You get the frame, wheels, and a big box of parts which includes a verrry long chain that you size and cut yourself. Chain breaker included. You also get tools. Nice tools, except for the chain breaker. They throw in a lot of extra stuff too. Mini pump (w/gauge), flag, f/r flashers, accessory mount, bottle cage and bottle. I'm impressed. Has anyone ever thought of using adult training wheels to learn how to ride one of these?
