Well, Which would you go with? A company that has been building recumbents for years or a company
that has been building bikes for years?

The only ATP Vision models comparable with the Cannondale recumbent are the out of production (by a
couple of years) R-32 and its predecessor, the R-30 Metro.

all he asked for was opinions on the best value dollar for dollar.

That is not a very good question then, since which of the two versions of the Cannondale Recumbent
would be compared to which Vision model? Take any bicycle manufacturer that makes several models,
and they can be arranged [1] in order of increasing (or decreasing) value for the money.

[1] Of course, the order can change depending on the exact criteria used and how much weight is
given to each criterium.

take any Cannondale, and compare to any vision, the vision is a better value.

Well, I suppose the same could be said for Cannondale. At least AFAIK, Vision has not filed for
bankruptcy.

As Tom pointed out, it's a pretty silly comparison. But you can imagine how someone new to bents
might not appreciate that you can't really compare bikes that are very different in design.

The closest Vision to the Cannondale is the VR-32, no longer in production. I have one as my around-
town bike, and rather like it. But its fit and finish are nothing compared to the C'dale. Of course,
it was half the price, too.

ahhh, now that's a whole different question Dave!
