My vote is for the Carbent Custom Made Carbon Fiber Bicycles.  Visit www.carbent.com

Update June 2007 - Carbent 650 (15lbs 14 oz) now available in limited supply. You absolutely must ride these ultra-light recumbent bicycles to appreciate the strength and speed.  It's just awesome!

"If you want to go fast, be extremely comfortable, and catch the eye of all the roadies then you probably ought to get your order in soon."
You may need to ride a little bit longer, and a little bit further just to get your heart rate up!  Comparing these baby's to a standard bent is like comparing a Corvette to your Grandma's Station wagon!

On to my original impression - I'm sold!  I had the opportunity to test ride a sub 20lb Carbent bike and it's an experience like no other. Coincidently Dave (The owner) and I live about 50 miles apart at the time of my test ride.  Dave chose a moderate climb on a well known paved Canyon Trail.  The trail is approximately 5 miles long and gains about 1,300 feet in elevation.

Now I consider myself to be in pretty good shape, but while riding with Dave I was a little under the weather (That's an understatement turns out I have several herniated disc in my neck), but even if I had been 100% I still think I would have felt as if I was holding him back.  He's definitely got his bent legs!

I had no idea how steep we were climbing until the ride back down (and unlike the brakes on my bike, these brakes worked really well).  I'll be writing a full review soon comparing the Carbent performance recumbent to my M5 Shockproof Ti 559.  Until then I can only tell you that it totally blows away my Shockproof climbing hills.  This bicycle is not suspended, but seemed every bit as forgiving as my fully suspended M5.  There is no comparison climbing (I think I said that already), if you want to climb get the Carbent PERIOD!

Once production ramps up and the word is out you may have to wait in line to get yours!  It's really that good.
