We see this as a serious touring machine because of the ride quality of titanium, and very well suited for performance riders.  The bike features more of a road orientation, but has provisions for fenders and racks, appointments that serious touring specialist may require. There will be several combinations possible for 26”, 650, 700 wheels (rear only), and canti brakes. The combination of a 650 front and 700 rear  will no doubt be explored! (700 rear tire sizes limited to 25mm, with out fenders) Click Here for Detailed Specifications   V3 AL                                       $3,500 out-the-door* V3 TI                                         $5,300 out-the-door*  It has been hard to contain the excitement the V3 in either titanium or alloy creates. The ride is superb and the speed exhilarating! We predict this will be a much copied frame design as it solves many of the problems and trade offs* performance recumbents encounter. Being an experienced maker of high-racers, we are confident this configuration will surpass the high racer. This is the new steed for speed! The cockpit is compact with the handlebars within easy reach. The B-37 with a mid riser is stock, and we feel most accommodating, but no cost options for the 3-way and other bars are available. Weighing in at a mere 21.5 lbs the V3 TI will fly up hills, jump out of the blocks and hold very high cruise speeds. Seat to BB height is not as extreme. The seat height is nice and low too and allows the shorter rider to fit well, a very compatible frame for any level of rider.
