You should go to a bent dealer and try a number of different makes and styles of bents before purchasing a bent. Nothing like picking up a bent at a good price and finding out that it is not sized correctly. The Actionbent bikes have an adjustable boom that moves the crankset in or out depending upon the height and inseam of the rider. A one size fits all design. Other bents such as Volae or Bachetta have different sized frames for riders with different inseams. The Volaes and Bachettas have seats that can be adjusted both fore and aft and tilt. I believe that the Actionbent does not offer these adjustments.

Look up the Volae and Bachetta websites for sizing and fitting information. Both websites are very informative. I had an Actionbent Tadpole which was fun putting it together. I used to ride a Volae Club and now I ride a Bachetta Corsa High Racers. My wife rides a Volae Club. My wife first started out on a Burley Hepcat and then switched to the Volae.
