Rans Tailwind bike review

Rans produced the Tailwind bike in 2003 and can be classified as a Recumbent bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $899.00.
Rans Recumbent Tailwind can be found in one single color which is Blue.
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.75" Primo Comet tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex DA-16. Rans equiped this exact model with SRAM 5.0 brakes, SRAM 5.0 levers braking system and Shimano Deore hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used 4130 chromoly material for the frame. RANS Standard T-Bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Tailwind to ensure the perfect handling.
For the smoothest biking experience TruVativ Elita, 39/52/62 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC HG-50 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Rans, the whole system is connected to a high reliability SRAM 5.0 gear shift levers.
