December 17, 2005:
I have a few questions for anyone considering a new bike.
1) Are you satisfied with the Kenda tires specified, or would you like to have the option of Schwalbe tires, if so, which ones?
2) Here we go again, frame materials:  Who would like a Titanium Slipstream or Eliminator or an Aluminum Eliminator?
3) Any other options you would like to have available?
4) How about a LWB or an SWB at half the price with less of a frame and downgraded components?
5) How about a trike at Longbikes quality?

Let me know what you think;

New Longbikes rear rack with optional secondary rack just behind the seat.

May 9th:  Tubus has been backordered on racks for a couple of months now, so we had no choice but to build our own.  Any time you build a component for your own use, you should be able to do a better job than done with an off the shelf component.  In this case we were able make it fit the bikes, mounts to one of the M6 drop - out mounting screws, uses a simple Z bar for front support.  Not bad for an Under Seat Steering SWB!  Pictured above is the first one to ship.  This Eliminator is on its way to Kirk in Oregon who will shortly start out on a 4,200 mile trip across country.  Kirk is a repeat customer who gave us the opportunity to do a set of mid ship bags, two pairs of Ortlieb's.  Not all racks will have the mid-ship rack, but can be easily added to the main rack via a small clamp or welded, with one screw into the main frame.  Note also how the rack gives us the ability to suspend the fender from the rack.  A neater and cleaner installation, not to mention sturdier as well.

May 12th:  The Jetstream is here!  This stealth photo show two of our guys from the shop out for a parking lot spin.  This is our mule version, no paint, rough around the edges, but rides nice and easy.

I took it for a quick ride in the neighborhood behind the shop, no fine tune adjustments to fit, didn't check the tire pressure or anything, and if felt just like I expected, a nice ride.  Click here to see a bit more.


May 9th again:  
     The Jetstreams really are coming.  I should have pictures up of the unpainted mule before the end of the week...they are going fast!

     The Jetstreams are coming!  There has been enough interest in tandems so far this year that I am going to finish up the small batch of Jetstream frames which were started last year.  They were put on the back burner last year to get the Elininator G2 and wheelchairs into production.  We will be finishing up a few frames by the end of this month.  If you are interested in a really cool SWB tandem, call quick, these frames will not last long!

     With the demise of our one local dealer, the Longbikes "Factory Outlet" is now open by appointment on weekends, just give us a call.

     Any Denver area recumbent riders interested in getting a weekend ride from our factory started?  Give me a call or email if interested.

     The web host change is complete, all of the mail boxes have been setup and everything appears to be working correctly.  Now I don't even have to hit the delete key 200 - 400 times each morning.  Life is getting good.  If you had any problems with this in the past month, I apologize.
