TourEasy SS
Front Wheel 20" x 1 1/8" (451mm)
Rear Wheel 700c x 28c

TourEasy EX
20" x 1.35" (406MM
700C x 35C

This is the setup for the TourEasy. I own the TourEasy and have ridden the Stratus. Both are great "Bents" but for my money and in IMHO the TourEasy wins. The acceleration from a stop that ChiliDog spoke of depends on the the rider. I haven't had any problems "getting up to speed" on the TE but off subject the Ti-Rush gets up to speed in a nano second.

You can't go wrong with either the Stratus or TE. One of my riding friends purchased a Stratus LE last October (2005). He had test ridden another friends Stratus and my TE. After a couple of weeks of testing he chose the LE primarily because of the cost factor but he wanted the TE because of the performance. Maybe next time!!
