Recumbent bike based on Colombo frameset by Velodreamer

Recumbent bike frame stays the same for all models. This allows to adjust each recumbent bicycle for specified task by means of the only frame model and different sets of parts. However, seat-to-pedal distance stays without changes. We set it according to needs of designated user. Also, we recommend to mount disk break on back wheel or the similar disks for all your back wheels that you might have for different kinds of bicycle trips.

The seat tube of recumbent bike frame is dismountable. As a result, this allows to reduce sizes of bike in a knocked-down condition for transportation as well as to cheapen a shipping.

Colombo 3.1 recumbent bike frameset is the 5th version multipurpose frameset concept. Feedback  we got from our customers allowed us to fix all undesired things in previous models.

It's pretty hard to find a front fork with 1.1\8 inch rod for the wheel diameter that is different from 26 inches (or too expensive). Though, it’s possible to mount of forks with 1 inch rod by use of special (standard) adapters that you can find at local bicycle store.

Also, it is possible to mount on Colombo recumbent frameset wheels with diameter from 20 to 29 inches. But more harmonious configuration of recumbent bike is only possible when front wheel is one size smaller than back wheel. Wheels of smaller size and hard front forks allow to make recumbent bike lower to reach the ground easier. It is very important for beginners as same as for fans of city bike configurations (possibility of frequent stops and starts). In this case is desirable to reach the ground not taking off your back from a seat.

We prefer to use forks with front suspension because they increase comfort of ride and reduce weariness, especially on long distances. Racing as well as off-the-highway riding both require wide wheels of bigger size. Average configuration is perfect for tourism (not very high recumbent bike, for example 24/26 inches). However, configuration specifity depends on many different factors such as heigth of user, skills, quality of road etc.

Rider should have enough experience in recumbent bicycles. In general, this is one of the most important things, that allows to choose the optimal arrangements of bike. Or you can choose one of 8 available configurations.

All-purposeness and flexibility of Colombo frameset make it a nice choice as you can test your recumbent bike in different environment with one frame only. Color of winter series is black. SEAT, side bags and bottom bracket stem we fix with quick release skewers not using any tools for adjustment or disassembling.
