    I hope no one minds me posting this - although we are a
    business, this is Rob's personal machine.

    It's a Greenspeed Low Racer with a red frame, yellow seat,
    18 gears, hub brakes, Ultegra drivetrain and a nice Egg ring
    on the front, about 3-4 years old and in generally good
    condition. It's primarily a race machine
    - *can* be used on road, but could do with a wider gear
    range if that was to be its primary use.

    Please drop me an email if interested - I'll try to hunt out
    a picture to put on the website soon.

    Do I take it he's switched allegiance to the "Stupidly
    Low Racer"?

    <g> Yep. He's been busy rebuilding the fairing this weekend
    after the nose got a bit bent at Cycle Vision :-) He's
    also moved the gear shift to the non-steering handgrip,
    and can sometimes even remember that he has.....

    Is it just me, or do the vast majority of 'bents I see on
    various web sites seem to be of this colour scheme?
    Personally, I couldn't care what colour it is, I want one!

    If you visit websites about Greenspeeds, quite possibly.
    Pretty much everyone else seems to do seats in black, and
    frame colour varies as much as in any other genre. It seems
    this year's New Black is a metallic green...

    I must admit I do tend to look at those quite a lot and that
    may be skewing my perception

    But there's also these others -

    hotmover.comhotmover.com logotrikes.comlogotrikes.com

    One is Australian (like Greenspeed) and one is New Zealand.
    Maybe it's an antipodean thing? Logo Trikes are only a few
    kilometres away from me. I've never been to see them though
    as the temptation might be just a bit strong (though not as
    strong as the right hook I'd get from my wife for spending a
    few thousand dollars).

    I think it's quite a popular colour scheme for Greenspeeds
    but 'bents generally come in pretty much any colour you
    could want - there were some lovely metallic purple ones at
    Cycle Vision - and then there's the screaming metallic pink
    tandem trike that ICE sometimes take to shows - talk about
    retina burn :-)
