Pulled trigger on "+1"
Confirmed my older fella status today by ordering my second 'bent, a RANS V-Rex. This is a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art bike, or at least it was about ten+ years ago, when they started making them. Certainly exciting enough for me, and should speed me up a bit. For what it's worth, it's half "the new white".

A wonderfully odd looking machine. You're sure to get all the girls!

I like the color.
I'm getting accustomed to the look of recumbents as several members of our seniors group ride them. I'll concede, they do look comfortable.

I've tried a couple of the SWB bents and I really struggle on handling them. I know they are the best sellers and people can really move out on them.
I'm thrown off my bearing when I can't see the front wheel.

I hope I don't have any major issues with the transition from CLWB to SWB. Going from upright DF to my Tailwind was fairly easy so I am optimistic that this will be easier.
