Best Climbing Recumbent

[MrSteve]

Bear with my sick sense of humor, please.

Over on another recumbent bicycle forum which I will not name,
a popular thread titled, "Best Climbing Recumbent" -is getting a lot of attention.

So, which recumbent is the best climber?

-Vendetta?
-Silvio?
-Quest?
-Sofrider?




it's probably not going to be the
-Sigma!

Have fun.

P.S.:
In my mind, none of them are climbers.
Bicycles are inert lumps of machinery that will never move, let alone climb anything.
If thrown from a great height, the recumbent may achieve terminal velocity...
but, you know, that's not climbing!

That thread "on the other un-named" recumbent forum

is a hoot to read!!!
Of course you're gonna want to schedule at least 30 minutes to read all the posts!

the next to last post (as of this writing was a reference to a Vendetta review.

I was sooooo tempted to write -
So Than (the original thread poster): It think it's clear: When are you going to get a Vendetta??

Nah ....

It's more fun to make funny comments on that thread

It's almost time to start a chain lube thread to ramp up winter.

To be fair, there are people

To be fair, there are people who don't put out as much power at a low seat angle. So they might not do as well on a Vendetta as something much more upright.

Whether that limitation can be completely trained away or not isn't clear to me (not that kind of doctor).

Those threads are too funny,

Those threads are too funny, but I had to at least put my 1/2 cents in. It's like "what's the fastest recumbent" or "what's the fastest tires"?
