Default André Jute: extreme, unsuitable for purpose, dangerous, dull, overpriced

That'll be experience speaking, will it? When you've actually tried the
ride
on one, come back and tell us.
I've ridden 'bent bikes with 20"/27" and 16"/20" wheels. The big one
had a long floppy frame and gave a shaky but smooth ride. The small
one gave a treacherous and crappy ride that didn't get better despite
my days spent trying to make the best of it.

There is no stock recumbent suitable for someone Chalo's size. Since Chalo
is in the 99.999th percentile in both height and weight, the manufacturers
are not missing much of a market.


What is Chalo, an 800 lb. gorilla?
[...]

Chalo has listed his height at about 6'8" or so, and weight ranging from
about 320 to 370 pounds.
