the new recumbent has arrived!
Imagine it as a Bacchetta that folds. It's got a cool molded Optima seat with tons of adjustability, height adjustable above seat steering, options for every kind of drive train imaginable (yes, it takes a front derailleur!), 406 wheels or 451 wheels (with v-brakes and dual pivots respectively), adjustable bottom bracket height on the 406 (Tour) option.
For all you original SatRDay owners/admirers, the jackshaft has been removed and a nice clean idler wheel takes care of chain tension. Also, the whole thing folds without having to remove any piece, including the stem. The seat, front boom, rear end, handlebars and stem all fold. It's lighter and goes into the suitcase much easier to boot.
Watch here for more info about it. I'll reply to people's questions here so I don't have to repeat myself.
