  1. Has anyone seen one/rode one, any comments on those more expert and experienced??

    This is to be my first bent (I briefly had a Ryan LWB, too large, too heavy). I want SWB, USS.

    Thanks,

  2. Well China Mascot did show up at a few annual Interbike shows and were well received and people who
    have done demo rides have raved about them and they are selling...so risk it and try one out. Plus
    for the low price the alternative is a used bent.

    I've got a few hundred miles on a Tidal Wave. It's the 2nd bent in the stable as of now (other is
    a Tour Easy), and the 2nd SWB USS I've owned. Overall, it's a decent bike. I did replace the
    stock wheels because I had better ones already, and the crank because I wanted shorter arms and
    lower gearing.

    The seat is upholstered over an aluminum frame and does not provide any ventilation. If you sweat a
    lot, you'll need a wicking shirt. Cotton ain't gonna get it done. The seat back is narrow, even for
    a eurostyle though, so not so much skin contact.

    For the money, it's hard to beat. I'd say it compares well with the Haluzak I once rode. I like the
    TW seat better, the Haluzak handlebars better, and the rest of the componentry is the same. Ride is
    very similar.

    The Tidal Wave is a relatively light bike, and that helps me climb faster on it than on my TE.
