Gary,
We have a Quetzal Peugeot C24, with a child-length frame. It
was my daughter's first recumbent.
It is the same LWB design as the "Mikado LTR", but in
cromoly, and the pedals adjust by sliding on the main tube,
rather than the 2 part main tube I remember the LTR to have.
It's heavy, and the components were cheap. It's a bit
complex with many cables and derailleurs. It is not fast,
but it worked reasonably well for our first MS150 ride.
All that said, my daughter took to it immediately, and was
riding it in 3 laps of the cul-de-sac like she'd been riding
it for years. It had a very shallow learning curve.
She did eventually have an incident, and we couldn't get
replacement USS handlebars in the States. I eventually
bought substitute bars from Power On Cycling and had to re-
engineer the stem attachment to accept the new bars.
I'd say it was a mixed-bag experience. We do/have owned a
BikeE, the Quetzal, a Rotator Tiger, three Vision R40's and
an Evox 120, and there's an Avatar 2000 frame hung on the
wall to complete one day. I don't know that I'd by another
Quetzal. The Evox is also made by them - i bought it because
I wanted a 'bent for my 9 year old son, and chiild
recumbents are basically unavailable.
