  1. I'm looking for a chrome YELLOW(school bus YELLOW) bent bike with USSsystem.I have never ridden a bent bike but I know I don't want my arms hanging up in the air when I ride, hence my choice of steering. I intend on trying out several bikes before I buy. Does anyone know anything about the Optima or Lightning bikes and do both have USS systems. I know I'm picky, but when you pay good money for a bike I think you should be able to get it in your choice of colour; besides it would match my kayak and look soooo cool on my car. Also I often carry a seakayak on my car and I would need rack advice for carrying a bent while the kayak is also up top. Linda

  2. We have some nice ones here in Perth, Australia: http://www.logotrikes.com/

    cheers

    The Actionbent Jetstream & Road Runner are both available in Crome Yellow. The Jetstream can be ordered in USS configuration.

    I just got an Actionbent Road Runner II in yellow. Looks great, rides great. It did take some doing putting it together, but it was no problem as I used to ride road bikes a lot and did my own mechanic work. I am just getting back into cylcling after a 10 year layoff. I had a disc removed from my neck 10 years ago and have not been able to ride a regular road bike. But I can ride the 'bent ! I love it.

  5. Hi, If youre actually considering an actionbent there are some things youd need to make sure of before you bid or order thats for sure. There is an actionbentnallrecumbents {name of group} on yahoo, and youre welcome to stop over and get the real scoop on them and others that you may be considering. I hope this helps.

  6. I am a member of that forum. After owning my RoadRunner for several months, I am still very much satisfied with it. It's a great bike, especially for the price.

    Optima has USS, but I don't think any Lightning models do. Another choice is Longbikes. Their Eliminator is SWB with USS, and apparently comes in bright yellow.

    I agree yellow is a cool color. When the paint started falling off my V-Rex, I had it powder coated yellow. It looks great and I'm quite sure it's at least several mph faster now! Well, maybe not... but it sure looks faster! 😉
