Priority Low Tide bicycle

[Kim H.]

I found an interesting bicycle through an advertisement on the internet. It is an upright riding bike that has an aluminum frame. The design of the frameset is rather unique from being a Clem owner. 

The crankset and pedals are moved forward while at the same time the seat tube is moved back closer to the rear wheel. 

The bike sells for $849.00.

There are two models; a step-through and a diamond frame.

Any thoughts or feedback from the RBWOB audience ?

These are known in the recumbent world as Crank Forward, RANS Recumbents made some for a while. Electra had a line of them that looked much like this Priority. 

I've owned one RANS and one Electra, it's an interesting idea which took pressure off my arthritic wrists but overall felt a little odd to me. I get the same benefit with a more normal seating position on a Riv with Boscos.
