Hi all - I'm on the lookout for a touring recumbent bike for my girlfriend, something with similar riding dynamics to my Streetmachine so we keep pace with each other.  Something like another Streetmachine, Azub 5 or 6.  She has some recumbent experience but isn't wildly confident, so a high-racer won't suit.  She is tall though (5'10"-ish) so getting feet down isn't an issue.

Ideally full suspension, ideally alloy, ideally USS, ideally carbon seat rather than mesh, but we're open-minded.  We have a tour planned for March, so we'd like to sort something by then.

I travel around the UK for work, so I'll come and get the right bike!

Have a chat with Kevin at D-Tek - he may well have something suitable. He's on this forum so may well be along in a bit...

Thanks Kevin - I think we found pretty much what we wanted, for now at least.

We bought the Challenge Seiran in Stroud that you might have seen on Ebay.  

It's the same bike I was briefly introduced when it came to York to be reviewed by Velovision.

Oh I thought you wanted a Steetmachine or similar heavy duty tourer .
Who will be lugging the panniers ...and bulky luggage
while you have all the fun on tarmac roads ....
Well done it's a result
Just for the record....I have similar style machines in stock
