Repair or replace whole bike?

I have a (2006) Fusion and love it, but it doesn't allow pedaling while
standing. For that try to find a Cruz or Zenetic; there is a "tour"
model Zenetic but I dunno what's the difference between it and the other.

I already have a RANS V-Rex, but I prefer my uprights for the majority
of my riding!

(No flame wars please!!)

I went to a bike shop about 6½ years ago considering buying a RANS
V-Rex. A good bike, but did not seem special. Then I rode the RANS
Rocket. Despite the considerably less expensive components, the Rocket
was far more fun to ride, with a "balance" and intuitive responsiveness
to the handling that the V-Rex (and many other SWB recumbents) lacks.

The V-Rex stayed at the shop, and I still have the Rocket.

Nonsense! A thread that does not devolve into a flame war is a thread not
worth bothering with.

What Mr. Sherman says about the Rocket I have heard from several other
recumbent cyclists also. I think we are splitting hairs here myself, but
what do I know. I hate all short wheel base recumbents as they do not handle
nearly so well as even the most base long wheel base recumbents. But Mr.
Sherman is partial to short wheel base, whether it be a 2-wheeler or a
3-wheeler. I like my recumbent bikes to be very long indeed. No short wheel
base bikes for me!
