The Recumbent

1983 Rans 'Nimbus' Recumbent

• Owned since late 1983
• Chrome finish
• Long wheelbase recumbent bicycle
• 20 x 1 1/8" front wheel, 27 x 1 1/4 rear wheel with a strong Weinmann Concave rim
• Padded bucket seat with reflective Arizona flag on the back
• Suntour Bar-Con friction shifters
• 41-38-24 chainrings, set up for 'half-step' shifting with a 6-speed 14-32 freewheel
• Streamlined fabric fairing in the front (also functions as a handlebar bag)
• Blackburn triceratops bag under the seat for those small front tubes
• Fast on the downhills, climbs like a sedated pig
• ...and yes, it's comfortable - I've done mountainous 24-hour rides on it in the past
