"A very nice bike in a lot of ways, but I couldn't get comfy on it.
Bought used. Serial number SUN-0014. Sold to Ed Gin of the Chicagoland
Recumbent Riders. He came over to pick it up in person."

My Sunsets are Red (0003) and Light Purple (0006) [1]. However, I did
ride Sunset 0014 briefly when Ed Gin owned it.

I find the Sunset to be a very comfortable bike, unless the roads get
too rough. On poor surfaces, the rear suspended Dragonflyer (with the
same seat as the Sunset) is much more comfortable.

[1] The previous owner insists on calling it Lavender. 😉

Whats it like having your feet above your butt there? It looks like the
blood might leave your toes and never come back. Otherwise its a pretty
stealth looking bike.

I have no problem with having the bottom bracket (BB) higher than the
seat as long as I wear properly fitting shoes with stiff soles. I have
a pair of Shimano shoes that are a little bit too narrow in the toe box
that work fine for me on a lower BB bike such as the RANS Tailwind, but
not on the RANS Rocket or Earth Cycles Sunset.
