There is a group on yahoo dedicated to Bacchetta.
www.groups.yahoo.com Search for Bacchetta_Bikes
with the underline between the words necessary. Yahoo group search engine is pretty lousy. If you are
less than say 5-6" in height the seat height will be a
stretch on the dual 26", you learn rapidly to slide forward on the seat and sit uprite on the edge of the
seat to touch down. Taller riders have less difficulty.
The Bacchetta has been well received and been very
popular. It is a bit pricey but most bents are. Volae
(www.hostelshoppe.com) has given them a bit of competition.
All bents have difficulty starting compared with regular bikes, there is a
learning curve to riding them that is 200 to 400miles long.Steve
