  1. I am the new owner of a Challenge Hurricane Lux. It is low, short,
    and blue. Goes well with my Pursuit which is low, long, and blue.
    Can anyone direct me to sites that are specific to the Challenge
    Hurricane that happen to be in English? Thanks and thanks to those
    who reponded to my Speedmachine/Toxy thread.

  2. I would have suggested Yahoo but they don't appear to list any specific to
    Challenge

    Where did you buy it?

    Mark, I bought it off the net from www.bicycleman.com in New York.
    Peter Stull is a very easy fellow to deal with.

  5. I have been looking at the Challenge Hurricane too. I not to found of the
    aluminium frame. What model of Hurricane do you buy and what is it's curb
    weight? How do you find climbing hills with it? What's the ride like?

    I too tried the Speed Machine out. I had it a couple of weeks. The ride is
    unbelievablely smooth. I found it faster then my V-Rex. I was having
    problems getting used to the seat, but I am sure that it would get used to
    it in time.

    I didn't realize you ordered it, I was hoping someone in Texas actually
    carried the line, guess not 🙂

    Only thing I didn't like about the Speed Machine I rode was it had the race
    handlebars and I prefer the tiller, if it did have the tiller I would have
    bought it on the spot

    Racing in my dreams Earl. Fast approaching geezerhood the wattage
    output of a small rodent do not equate to racing at this point. I
    only have ridden my Pursuit around 4,000 miles this past year and that
    is the only bent riding I have ever done. No racing around here
    anyway and I can't see myself making the 1,500 mile drive to your
    Chicago base to race. So I will probably just swap out those White
    Industries hubs I got from you back and forth to the Challenge and see
    if I pick up any speed. Hope so. If I do I will be cruising in the
    20+ range.
    With regard to other questions, I don't have the bike yet, it should
    be here Friday and it is aluminum and blue and no Texas dealers that I
    know of.
    Franknspeed is the new Challenge distributor for the line in the USA.
    Probably a good thing for us. You can find his website at:
    www.eurdis.com

    I hope so, from what I've seen so far Challenge, M5 and Optima's dealers
    here are pathetic as far as inventory
