Looking for A test ride-Haluzak

RANS and others have had occational trouble even in the days of USA production. As stated
previously, USA built is not a guarantee of high quality. As with most products, there are differing
levels of quality and price points and we have the right to pick and choose.

One thing that does change when you buy a USA built recumbent is that they are usually packed
better, and many are bench/road tested before going into the box. How many of these USA built
recumbents do you think go out the door with dented tubes? My guess is next to none (unless the
shipper does it).

I've had conversations with a few mfrs who've outsourced to Taiwan. There are benefits, but also
many headaches. I've heard comments about bringing production back to the USA from more than one mfr
(on a smaller scale; at a higher price point).

Luckily for us enthusiasts, we have a choice. You may pay a bit more and get a USA* built recumbent
(Easy Racer, Rotator, Burley, Barcroft, Reynolds, Lightfoot, and others).

My only criticism in the case of the dented top tube would be that the company QC departments need
to open the boxes up and check the bikes before they go out (especially $1400 bikes), and dealers
need to examine them as well.

*So not to be our friends outside of North Amerca upset, I would consider many German, Australian
and UK built recumbents in this same group.

The URL I gave you should have been: www.haluzak.com/Dealers/massachusetts.htm I don't know how I
could have copy-and-pasted it wrong. Hmmm.

Harris Cyclery ?? - if I'm not wrong this is Good Old (sorry) Sheldon Brown. Does he carry
recumbents now?
