2004 Rans V2 recumbent bike Velocity Squared Long Wheelbase LWB 2

This was a gift for my dad, but I cannot get him to give up his standard bike despite back issues...so it is for sale.

This is a very nice Rans V2 (Velocity Squared) recumbent bike. Very fast and stable bike, it is Rans' top model. The frame is beautifully crafted and this model is known for its lightness and excellent power transfer. The frame is in great shape and the metallic red paint is nice and free of any dents or dings. VERY COMFY bike, but as I said also VERY fast yet stable enough to make a good touring recumbent as well.

The bike is fully tuned and ride ready. It has stock parts that are listed below and performs flawlessly. There are 2 bottle cages on the rear of the seat and the frame and fork have provisions for mounting racks etc.

This is a "regular" size long wheelbase frame (65") and the seat position is adjustable fore and aft as well as the backrest being fully adjustable. Additionally the bars and stem are very adjustable as well. The bike will fit a large variety of riders.
