I took Marilyn on her maiden ride this morning.
After cabling the brakes, and rear derailleur, I took her off the trainer to see what she had to offer. I must say that the steering is VERY different from Edith (our first recumbent), it's not bad, just takes a little getting used to. The front wheel is just about "under" you so its a little different on the balance side.
The front shifter didnt fit, nor was the V brake sufficient in the tension department. So, after a few parts, and seat finishing, she'll be ready for her first distance ride. I would certainly suggest road tires, but for now, these are fun to play with.
Enjoy her, Ross, for we will do many recumbent rides this year!
