Wait, blue spokes? Where?
Can you get them in orange?

Yeah, pedals were just for a test ride. Aldi stand is not very good, bike moves all over the place. I built the bike for $1250 so I'm quite pleased with it.jasonc wrote:concerning that he saysCrawf wrote:Please tell me the pedals are temp?

Full bike shots (click for bigger)
As far as appearances are concerned what I like most about this bike is the quality of the finish on the frame, a lovely metallic blue over most of it with glossy carbon weave fork and chainstays. Hard to do it justice in photos but here are some attempts.

Depends on the engineantipodean wrote:What is it like on hills Hotdog?
Climbing mostly comes down to power to weight ratio of course, and while this is definitely light by recumbent standards it's still not quite as lightweight as a good road bike. I did weigh it today, using the not very accurate bathroom scales differential method, and as pictured (with lights and bag containing pump, tools and spares) it came out at 11.2 kg. Without the accessories it's 9.8 kg.
I've never felt that it's been really holding me back on hills and I can certainly climb on it better than most people expect a recumbent to climb.

Sort of... Bacchetta do have some sort of sponsorship arrangement with a group of amateur racers who compete in US ultramarathon cycling events. As part of this marketing plan they include the word 'Team' on their top end frame and their (recumbent specific) Bacchetta branded jerseys.Kenzo wrote: There's a 'Team'?
Go Team!
