Now the questions
Does anybody have one of these things?
Does anybody know anybody who has one of these things?
Does anybody know any apocryphal stories about these things?

There are some old notes in here from Chris Paulhus (who is no
longer at DEC) in which he says "Nice guys but their frames
break".
I know one person who has two and they both have lots of repair
welds. He says that they need welding after about 1000 miles.
On the other hand, when I posted the above comments to the Usenet,
a couple of people told of having lots of miles on Infinities
without problems. I don't know what the real story is.
The infinity is the cheapest recumbent around, and to some degree
you get what you pay for. If you have to have a cheap recumbent,
get one, if you can afford more money for a better bike, I'm into
spending too much for toys.
