How difficult would this model be to get used to for someone who is balanced challenged? There is a django for sale locally for $400. Thanks.

Almost the same deal, too. (I paid $650, and had to drive about 2 hours north to pick it up.) It, too, was barely used. I just put Schwalbe Marathon's on it, and fenders (I have the Burley rack kit too; I just haven't picked up a rack yet). Burley made a quality machine.

I have always heard that recumbents may be fast on the flat, but that they aren't very good at climbing hills. Given that I live in WEST VIRGINIA, this is a major concern. The one time I tried to ride a recumbent two-wheeler, I nearly broke my neck. If I do 'get bent' it will be on a trike, I think. Can you give me any advice?

I wish it were a bit lighter, but it's been rock solid. If all goes according to plan, I may be close to 10,000 miles on it by years-end.
