Tæt på en DF XL

1. Hei Søren,

   Jeg ønske deg sukkes med Paris-Brest-Paris, det er en meget stor avstand å sykle! Jeg har prøvekjørt DF når jeg var i Nederland, og den passet meg utmerket, den var liksom støypt omkring meg. For å føle forskjellen tok jeg plass i Ymte’s XL, og den var alt for stor for meg! Så hvis du har en anledning vil jeg anbefalle deg til å prøvekjøre XL en gang, jeg er helt sikker at du bli like begeistret som meg!

   Hilsen, Adri.

   1. Hej Adri

      Tak. Jeg er dog ikke bekymret over afstanden i Paris-Brest-Paris, det er mere cykleturen hjem(hvis jeg cykler Dk-Paris-Dk), der bliver hård 🙂

      Jeg har prøvet DF, jeg var også som “støbt” til den, hvis jeg kom ned i den sad jeg fast :-). Jeg ikke kunne være der med skulderne, knæ og fødder. Men XL har lige de cm ekstra der mangler for at passe til mig, så skal helt sikkert prøvekøre den.

      Jeg læste dit fine indlæg om din ferie, den ser ud til at have været god.

      Venlig hilsen

2. Hi Soren, I went to Dronten recently with a friend to collect a new shell for my poor Quest XS and also a new DF for my friend.
   I tried riding the DF but found it very uncomfortable- especially around the shoulders! As you know I’m not very tall but have a long back so I would need the DF seat set as low as possible and “raked” as far as possible. I also found the lack of footholes a problem as the turning circle is not much better than the QuestXS!
   Allert had a Quattro Velo partly built with a seat in place so I tried that as well- for me it was MUCH better with lots of room around my shoulders. Of course it will be a bit heavier and probably slower in top speed (same as Strada I think) Now I am waiting (impatiently) for the rebuild of my XS and the build of the QV– I think I’ll keep both machines as I don’t want to be without a velomobile in future ( with my record of crashing I need at least two machines!!)
   All the best for PBP!
   Regards,
   John H

   1. Hi John,
      It was exactly the same I felt with shoulders in a DF but DF XL is a bit bigger so I would probably be able to feel better in XL. I the more to comfort and touring, so I’m happy with my Strada, and if I need a new velomobile is probably also a Quattrovelo.
      I look forward to hearing about your experience with Q4W.

      In your case, it is necessary to have 2 velomobiles :-), hope you get your Xs fixed soon

      Best regards
      Søren

3. Hvis du lagde mærke til en lille vanilla quest xs, så er det min 🙂 med en sort sinner hood selvfølgelig! Jeg skulle kunne hente den i næste uge, det er næsten som juleaften. Så glæder mig til at kunne få gavn af alle dine gode tips i praksis snart 🙂

   1. Hej Pia

      Det er jo fantastisk at kunne holde juleaften 2 gange på et år :-).

      Hvis du ser på det øverste billed(DF XL vs DF front) kan du se et glimt af en front der stikker frem ved siden af den helt blå Quest med kåbe, det er meget sandsynligt det er din Quest Xs, farven passer i hvert fald.

      Jeg håber, at du for indfriet din glæde, og at mine praktiske tips “holder vand”. Ligeledes håber jeg at høre mere om hvordan det går med at være Velonaut.

      Venlig hilsen

   1. Hi Tim

      Thank you.
      My Strada is still “fit for fight”, only 2½ years old. I dream about a Strada Xl and the QuattroVelo, and one´s never know 🙂
