I Love Travelling. And that's with two LL's. Like the British. What?!

In Seattle. Bought the P-38 two days ago in Spokane. A beauty. Will need to shorten the crank arms as the frame when maximally minimized is still about 1-2 inches too big for me. Will want to confirm if it is a L or XL size.

With the removal of both wheels and disengagement of the handlebar, the frame fits comfortably in my trunk.

Hase and Tandems East have crank arm shorteners that allow the use of the existing cranks.The Hase is infinitely adjustable.

Hey, I didn't know Supernova the dynamo light company made dynamo hubs. Their new "Infinity 8" looks nice:

Also didn't know Shimano's Alfine internal hub is up the 11 gears now.

Looking to get a Lightning P-38 Recumbent Bike

Saw a nice looking used Lightning P-38 bike for sale on Craigslist. Said bike is many miles and two states removed from me but the price is right. I've been wanting to do a road trip. Will call the seller today or tomorrow. Google Maps says it is a 17 hour drive.
