I ordered their "high racer" model. At the prices these cycles were offered, I really was not expecting a bike with a great fit/finish. I was completely, and quite pleasantly surprised. Not wanting to wait for a few weeks (who does?) I selected a model in stock. (at Randy's advice of this particular model being his favourite. I came to the conclusion that who would know better what to get?) A long time conventional rider, this was my first foray into bents. My wife has a Sun Sport (what a tank!)and seemed to like it better than a diamond frame cycle. It was hard to find a design that could accommodate my height in any sort of comfortable manner. The Action had no problems at all, it is comfortable, and doesn't make me look like a neanderthal on a circus-clown bike.
The package arrived in 4 days, completely undamaged, (no small feat these days!). Assembly was, for the most part, easy. My brother and I, both electrical engineers did our level best to confuse the issue as much as could possibly be done. The instruction manual can be a bit vague, but the design is straight-forward, anyone with any experience should have no problems. Action provides all the tools needed to assemble the cycle. (Although, I must say, the chain tool is a bit questionable)
The cycles components are all first quality, major mfgr parts, no one-off junk to be seen anywhere.
After a few weeks of riding, I am still as pleased as my first test ride. Initially starting out was a shaky situation, now as natural as any diamond frame. If you haven't tried a bent, you will be hooked on the first ride! As a retrospect, I have the pleasure of living adjacent to a 60+ mile state owned paved trail, and the hard frame is fine for me, but if you are at all thinking of riding over rough ground, you should select a cycle with some form of rear suspension.
With the quality, fit, finish, and components used in these cycles I can't imagine spending several times more on the same cycle. (speaking from my limited experience with recumbent, as a whole)
I look forward to my next cycle from Action.
