It's sleek, it's fast, it's the head turning Challenge Fujin SL2. I've been cycling for 24 years and this is the best bicycle that I've owned, I never feel like not riding it and when I'm on my other bikes I'm wishing that I was on the Fujin.

I bought this for a fast sub 16 minute, 5.5 mile commute. With it's comfortable riding position and low weight you'll never want to go back to any other bicycle. When I go out for my weekly vegetable shop I take my mountain bike and trailer with reluctance because I know that I'm going to be battling head winds with the upright riding position that I just don't feel on the Fujin. So if you want to give the roadies a go for their money this is the bike to get.

More info is avaiable at http://dev-software.co.uk/fujin.htm

I'm considering selling it because I've undertaken extensive renovations to my home and I could do with a little extra cash.

STOLEN:- ICE Q late 2007 model colour Black
plus loads of extras
The largest cogwheel at the front is 55 tooth in black
Attachment points for Catseye front lights are fitted to the cruciform, just inside from each of the front wheels. There's a good chance that an Albus chain is still around the middle of the main cruciform, possibly with bits of cable lock extension still attached.
The trike was taken between 8:10pm and 1:15am on the night of Tuesday 7th, having been locked to a tree outside Somervell Court in north Cambridge
Anyway, frame number is known and the Police crime reference number is CF0235920508.

FOR SALE: Linear Recumbent U.S.S.
The Linear recumbent has been manufactured for over 20 years and the basic design has hardly changed. This one is a 1994 USS (under seat steering) model and has only been lightly used. It is a 42" frame and is suitable for riders with an inside leg between 28" and 35".
I have more bikes than makes any sense and I use them all hence the low mileage (. The original brakes have been upgraded to dual pivot calipers and Sachs twistgrip gear shifters have replaced the thumb shifters.
The current model retails in the U.S. for $1900 plus taxes. I have put this bike on eBay item no. 260237089807. The auction runs out on 14/5/08. At the time of writing the highest bid is only £52 with no reserve so go grab a bargain!
If you require any more information on this bike and its history please point your browser to www.linearrecumbent.com

The full ebay listing is as follows:

Optima Rider recumbent trike for sale. Actually has 63 gears (3 X 7 X 3), as being the simplest way to keep a fast top gear but get down to 11 gear inches for creeping up steep hills using the best force I can muster through my tin knees, and without falling over sideways. I can no longer ride a normal bike nor walk far, but this trike has enabled me to go for good "walks" with my wife in the Pennines and the Swiss Alps. Trading "up" to a Hase Lepus because it folds and has two driven wheels with a differential with most of the weight on those wheels, therefore less likely to spin a wheel when climbing hard on loose surfaces. Optima Rider can be tried, viewed and haggled over in West Yorkshire UK by substituting john and thring in given email, and you-know-what for "at". Send your email for photos. Any reasonable offer accepted; if none received I shall probably eBay it.
