Here is my Quickie GTi I picked up 2 weeks ago...

Got Spinergy LX wheels with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires and Natural grips along with a Jay2 cushion.
Colour i chose was a bright metallic orange. got the fold down legs too for carrying a case of beer lol :yahoo:

So far i've stacked out of it twice.... haha my own fault i guess... other than that i'm loving it :) :mfrlol:
Gonna drop the backrest down a notch......

The GTi is sweet isn't it?! I got mine with the full suspension option. Couldn't get anything else with full suspension here that had the high frame angle. Like the color by the way. I got mine in satin finish. (I've had 2 Toxic Green Quickies, so I decided it was time for a change.) And aren't the natural fit handrims SO much easier on the hands? Congrats on the new chair!

I just got my quickie gti today! So far I love it. I'm not used to a lower back but I guess that'll come with time. :scooter:

Nice ride!! I really like the "Chevy Orange". I thought about ordering that color when I got my GTX, but went with a more conservative Black Opal.
