I bought my first recumbent yesterday. I'll try to attach photos. It is a little old, and the seller said he didn't build it, but that it was "shop built". 18 speed. I rode it a mile or two today around the neighborhood and am sort of getting the hang of it (left turns and starting from a stop are still problems). I think I need longer handle bars, as I noticed a little stress in my shoulders from having to reach too far. The seat might need replacing and it needs a paint job. Anyway, my question is about the handle bars--I haven't tried lowering them because my knees already hit them if I am on an upstroke under the handle. Do any of you have suggestions? If the answer is to replace the bars, do you have any suggestions as to a good place to purchase?
My first recumbent!
