Test ride

A couple of weeks ago, I received an e-mail from someone who is interested in getting a LWB recumbent. He was not sure whether to go for an Easy Racers or a Stratus XP, so he asked me if it was possible to pay me a visit and test ride my XP. I told him he was more than welcome.
I still remember when I bought my first Stratus back in 1999, there was no possibility at all to testride any LWB RANS bike. There was only one dealer in Germany back then and he only had 2 RANS SWB bikes. So I ordered the Stratus frame set based on reviews I read in the Recumbent Cyclist News , but I never regretted my choice. So it's no problem for me to let anyone who's interested in getting a LWB take a test ride on my XP.
The guy payed me a visit today, together with his wife. Since we're both the same height, no real adjustments were needed (I explained everything in detail though, but he felt comfortable the minute he sat down on the bike). We provided a regular bike for his wife so they could ride together, I showed them the start of the bicycle route nearby and told them to have a nice ride.
After only 20 minutes they both returned and he told me he really liked the XP. Since I still had an extra 2007 catalog, I gave it to him. Most likely he's also going to order a frame set (he told me he'd go for the aluminum frame).
That would make the 4th person in Belgium to ride a Stratus from RANS. My old one is bought by someone close to the seaside, another one ordered a frame set about a month ago and is building it up, me of course and maybe Bruno, who test rode my XP today. Maybe it's about time I ask RANS for a commission ;-)
