[RBENT] whatever happened to the rbent.org site

[Charles Rathbun]

i waste whatever " abundant spare time" I can find on the road on my bike
<grin>.  I don't currently own a 'bent but I am test riding whatever I can
find.  No recumbent dealers any where close to Shreveport <podunk> LA.  Only
wedgie carbon / TI racing bikes sold around here except for cheapie
wally-world junk
