Townie vs Drifter vs Day 6
Wife loves her Townie in Florida - she wanted similar in Ohio and I thought I'd try one too. On internet, I ran across a Day 6 semi-recum, similar to Townie flat-foot, but with a wide seat with a back. Called Day 6 dealers but none stock it to try it; you can buy a Day 6 on internet from factory but it costs $150 to "restock" if you ship it back.
One Day 6 dealer, who also sells Townie and Sun, discouraged me from it, saying everybody prefers the Sun Drifter over either Day 6 or Townie. Now, I'm torn between the Townie and the Sun Drifter with aluminum frame. Has anybody compared these?

Hi Ebunny, Ron's pointing you in the right direction--it sounds as if you should ask this in the R & F forum first, and then perhaps General Cycling...
