Just joined today, hello

Hello from Fort Wayne, IN. I ride locally on our trails the city has provided. I do not like to ride on city streets at all. sometimes on country roads. My lately departed parents were very active riders during their retirement years. 4 trips to Europe and dozens of cross country trips in the US. Heart complications took my father 3 years ago and dementia took my mother 1 year ago. The reason I joined this forum is so I could find some of their equipment a new home. After my third post, I will list a very slightly used HP Velotechnik fx 20 for sale. Thank you.

 

to the forum! Sorry to hear about your folks, good to know they were active and had not given up on life. Hope you stay a member on here after your business is taken care of. We like new members as they bring new stories and new adventures from their neck of the Woods. Post away.

 

Yes my condolences as well. You listed a RANS as your ride, which one? We always like pictures.

 

Thank you for the message, currently have a deal pending on the velotechnik. I will see what other things there are.

 

I am riding my late fathers Rans Fusion. That bicycle is easy to ride, but not as good as a full on recumbent. Currently have a deal pending on the velotechnik.

 

deal on the velotechnik fell thru, I apologize. I will be posting in the very near future in classifieds.

 

I rode a Fusion a couple of times. As a hybrid (Crank Forward) it was interesting. Not as comfortable as a recumbent, but easy to crank out some power and speed due to the pedal-forward position and the bike's relatively light weight. It appeals to people who don't want to go full-recumbent, yet yearn for something more comfortable than a razor-blade up the rear end style seat. Does RANS still sell it?

 

Yes the rans still sells their crankforwards. I am going to start stocking them this year.
