Pete,
My
new Linear Roadster is working great.
No
heel catching the front tire in turns, like
on my Haluzak Horizon.
The
Roadster is a nice, solid, quiet bike and
gives a smoother ride than the Horizon.

This bike is our Roadster adapted with Over Seat
Steering (OSS) for riders who prefer it. We took the
fastest Linear yet and added tilt and height adjustable
OSS bars. It is still novice friendly; commuting
convenient and touring capable. It has 20”x26” wheels so
a wide variety of replacement tires are widely
available. Its balance of speed with convenience and
stability with maneuverability makes it suitable for
daily commutes and century rides. First time recumbent
riders sometimes find the idea of OSS less intimidating.
Experienced recumbent cyclists have tried it and
proclaimed “one ride on the OSS version clinched it”.
With a rear rack and under seat rack available it is
touring capable too. While it is certainly not a race
bike it is the fastest Linear ever on the market. Stop
in and try one, see for yourself!
Most test riders have found the Roadster easy to ride
and maneuverable (it will do a U turn in a single lane.)
It weighs ~33 LB, not bad for a rugged, comfy bike with
dual disk brakes. The Roadster OSS retails for
$2,295.00 to $2995.00 with OSS steering that is both
tilting and height adjustable; 27 speed SRAM twist
shifters, SRAM rear derailleur; dual Avid BB7 disk
brakes and red or blue powder coat paint. We have had
Roadsters with the OSS option ready to ship since
November 2011. Contact us now to order one!
Riders who prefer SWB with the option of OSS or USS now
have another choice!
New features of the Linear Roadster:
New rear frame, designed and tested to be rugged &
reliable for thousands of miles.

Avid bb-7 disk brakes for sure stopping even when
