Bryan Ball, ‘Bentrider Online Managing Editor, has published his review of the new offering from Big Cat HPV, LLC, the makers of Catrikes and now, their first Catbike—the Musashi.

Bryan says:

The Musashi is ostensibly “just” another lowracer but it does have a lot of very unique features. It’s pretty hard to find a lowracer with a full mesh seat. It’s also very difficult to find a lowracer this far shy of 30 pounds for anything near this price. And the Musashi is 100% made and designed in the United States. When I think of where the Musashi fits into the market place, I look at it as one of the best fast double century/brevet bikes in the world. It’s quick, comfortable and it’s handling shouldn’t surprise you when you’re bleary eyed at two AM in the middle of nowhere.

Aikigreg [BROL Mem.] ~ My Velokraft VK2 Reply

IMG_0186 An unexpected [03/26] sale. ‘Bentrider Online Member [BROL] Aikigreg is the buyer. The VK2 was shipped today, 04/14. It took longer than I had hope to get packed. It is done and Woodie, my LBS mechanic, always does a terrific packing job. Now I trust Aikigreg will have as much fun with the VK2 as I did. I took a photo of the package delivery to FedEx. Regrettably, I moved my iPhone as I was snapping the photo. Anyway, Greg enjoy the ride. I know you will take care of the bike. Thanks! and enjoy. –jim

cycles1[1] My stable of 7 cycles [The Magnificent 7] became the Sensational 6 with the sale of my RANS Stratus XP to Michele. With this loss, the stable is known as the Fabulous 5. My sales agent [Woodie] has one of my road bikes and my MTB to sell. I could be down to 4 cycles before my quad [Fargo] arrives. I’m hoping to see a Catbike Musashi in the late summer as a replacement for the VK2. So maybe down to 3, then back to 4, and ultimately a return to the Fabulous 5.
