Longbikes Eliminator Recumbent Bicycle
Single Eliminator
The 2005 Longbikes
Eliminators are here! Always a standout among high quality rugged
short-wheel-base (SWB) under-seat-steering (USS) recumbents for 2005 it
has new features. The stout frame on the Eliminator gains an adjustable
pedal boom and new chain idler with easily replaceable sprockets. It is
makes it stiff, stable and warranted for riders up to 300 lb. The new
adjustable pedal boom works with the adjustable seat allowing optimal
weight distribution loaded or unloaded. Move the seat and pedals a bit to
the rear when not carrying large loads; forward for touring with a load.
Moving the pedal boom to center your weight requires changing the length
of the front chain so you won’t do it often.
2005 Eliminator
Features and Options:Chain management: The 3 chains on
this bike keep chain noise to a minimum. The front chain tension is
adjusted by moving the pedal boom slightly. The center chain is adjusted
with an eccentric. The rear chain which does all the shifting is similar
in length to a traditional bike to keep chain weight near what Shimano
designed for helping the rear derailleur work like it should to give you
crisp shifting. On the other hand the Slipstream shifts well too.
Custom Components:Longbikes has
their our own custom recumbent crank set made, chain rings too. The chain
idlers, frame and seat hardware are made in Colorado by Longbikes. They
are beautifully designed and finished, as Longbikes is famous for. Comfort:Longbikes standard
"Hip Hinge" seat provides for independent adjustment of seat tilt and back
recline. Seat bottom rotates on the seat mount for tilt adjustment. This
allows you to set a posterior tilt to prevent you from sliding out without
causing so much back recline that you strain your neck. The four
incremental adjustment positions allow a seat to back angle of 95-115
degrees in 5 degree increments to fine tune the back position as well. A
pair of adjustable struts provide support between the frame and the seat
assembly. Quality:Longbikes doesn’t
like wimpy components. Their dovetail seat rail and mating mount are
examples of their attitude toward design. Not light duty parts, they won’t
slip . More work on their part, but Longbikes design philosophy usually
doesn’t do things the easy way!
Eliminator Specifications:Frame: 4130 Tube,
2" Diameter Main, Triangulated Frame, Fixed Length Boom. Bolt on rear
triangle with removable drop-outs.
