yes has been emailing me.

I would think a little grease would fix that. his bike is about a year 
old so they may have worked that out.

> I think that a Easy Racers Gold Rush would only be 2 or 3 pounds heavier, and would probably cost half of what a Stiletto would. If you buy a Gold Rush, would you buy me one too?  :-)

it's listed as 19 to 25 pounds. and the gold rush 27 for the medium. so 
maybe I could get the gold rush close with a good wheel set and better 
components.  but I don't see too much to lighten. a carbon fiber crankset? 
I doubt when I get the calfee setup it will be 19# for sure.
 getting a light recumbent is a real pain in the rear (G) if they are 
light they can't handle much weight.
