Actually, don't get too worked up over it. Those Zipps are OEM parts for recumbent nowadays. The helmet mirror too comes stock on that gentleman's Ionos. Thats why it cost roughly 50 bucks more that the Atmos.

I can't imagine watching a recumbent race. It'd be like a bunch of '77 Cadillac Deville's racing around Monaco driven by un-coordinated, clumsy 50 year-olds.

Yes, but the Caddy's win! Honestly, I don't see why you guys get so jealous. We're faster than you AND your paceline of 5. Get over it.

Most of us don't care that recumbents are faster by design.
I'll wager that, after I lose to a 'bent rider, if I hop on a 'bent and race again Mr. "We're Faster Than You!" 'bent rider will be eating my dust.
And on a related note, why do 'bent riders still where biking shorts? They don't need the chamois.
