I'm looking at new chairs atm also. Haven't ran across anyone that uses that BMW chair yet, but it does look nice. I'm looking towards the TI chair or the colours Boing chair.

i certainly can't tell you which one to buy but that first one is super sexy as far as chairs go

[Joed]

I don't use a manual, and I'm not as well-versed on them as the others here. But as far as looks go, I like the first one. Less is more.

I have one of the TI chairs and i love it. It is SO light! It's easier on my arms to push myslef, and so easy to pick up to get in and out of the car. I haven't seen one of the other ones, but it looks cool!

thnx people, i tryed both of them and i still can't decide, my girfreind said thet in a first one i look lot manly and i really like them, but they are much expensive then the second one, so i still don't know which should i buy!!!

i think thet i will buy first one now and for six months other one, cause i need two chairs(one spair), they both are great.

how many of you like more first one and how many of you like more second one, you will decide which i will buy first.

Ok Im the odd one out apparently cause I like the second one better.

I think the second one looks more bulky in the picture cause it appears to have the adjustable tension backrest where the first one doesnt. Also, the top one looks like more of a squeeze frame with the back lower but the second looks like it can still be adjusted with the back dropped further down as well. The back rest hight is clearly different for each frame but again thats just a customization as well. I just really like the angle of the front tubes where the legs will inevitable rest against. The first one is kinda rounded and has more of a gradual angle and the second one cuts in and then is straight most of the way down. My frame is like the second one as far as the front tubes go and where the legs rest and I find that the most comfortable personally and keeps my legs situated nicely in the chair, doesnt allow the legs too far apart so that you need a leg strap but your legs stay far enough apart too resting on those tubes that you dont have to look into a spreader either.

EDIT: Looking at the pic on top, is that a custom build? I am not seeing a way in that pic of how you would adjust the seat hight at the back of the seat. If its not custom build might want to check how much you would actually have for adjustments in that chair.

the first one have also adjustable back which you can't see on photo, the first are also titanium and they are really easy to use, both of them are great so i got such a big problem to decide

and i am very tall so my legs are spread in any chair so thet doesn't make me a dffrence.

I'm getting a TiLite TR. Hopefully it will be ready any day now.

Jules had already mentioned how she wanted to sex me up, I mean that chair is sexy. LOL

My review of the Quickie Ti is here http://www.usatechgu....php?itemid=590 - it's been a brilliant chair and I'd throughly recommend it - I know nothing about the other one. However put a pair of X core wheels and a low back on the quickie and it'll look every bit as sexy as the other chair.

The only thing that 'd sayis that the Quickie is fully adjustable and the BMW is a custom build - ie non adjustable so unless you're very confident in being able to get the specification exactly right and then never wanting to change it then you could end up with a bit of a lemon. That's not going to happen with the Quickie. If however you've been in a lightweight chair for 5 plus years and have settled on your ideal configuration then go for the full custom spec.

And BTW - forget the Xcore wheels - spinergy's are much better in use, just don't look as sexy.

Really? Man I just love the look of spoke wheels. Looks wise... give me some Spinergy's over Xcore any day!

I like both of them but can't use a manual. Hopefully some day they'll make remote ones like that.
