Sold!! Sold to a Cruzbiker from VA.

Front Cranks Guess, I missed that. Shimano 50/34 Compact Double, 170mm Crankarms - Dan

Shipping to Japan I am sure I could ship it to Japan, but bear in mind it would be pretty expensive. - Dan

The Story Ah yes, we all like a story, The bike is great, don't get me wrong, and it is not because of anything to do with the Bike. It is fast and comfortable and I would love to keep it. I have some nerve damage that affects my hands, that is being exacerbated ever so slightly by...

Click Stand I have been using the ClickStand for about 3 years. When the bike is not fully loaded it works fine in the front. When I have all my bags on the softrider / conversion kit, then I find it works to put it towards the back, right at the support for the rear rack. It works...

Hi All, I have a Silvio 2.1 for Sale Cruzbike Aero 67s wheelset with Schwalbe 622/25 tires Shimano Deore M592 RD-M592 SGS Shadow Long Cage 9-speed rear deraileur SRAM PG951 11/34 Cassette Shimano Dura Ace SL-BS77 9spd Shifters Tektro RL340 Road Bicycle Bike Aero Brake...

Measurements Super Slim, The Tube diameter is 19mm the outside measurement of the headrest assembly at the bend by the top of the seat is 75 mm I have noticed them slide down a little, but a strap from the top or most aft strap to the headrest would eliminate that slippage. I...

never Quit I was looking at the Radical Bags, and thought about Super Slim's comment about the Ortlieb Dry bags. I am using the same Otlieb bags I got about 15 years ago... If you already have dry bags this might be a workable solution 1 strap long enough to hold both bags...

Arkel Randonneur super slim - The Arkel Randonneur could work, though you would have to come up with a bracket to attach to the furthest aft rear suspension mount to provide the bottom connection for the post mount , as the 2.1 no longer has the round elastomer configuration of the earlier...

Good points all Thanks for the input. Other than the momentum issues already mentioned I have not seen, or heard too much in the way of movement from the rack with the movement of the rear suspension. Also keep in mind the travel of the rear suspension is fairly small. I have noticed...

Well where to start... I love the bike, and love riding it, including to work. I commute daily 10 mile to work, and though I know it is probably sacrilege to mar the good looks of this sleek machine with a rack, I need to carry more than my Double Century bags could hold. I had read...

hub gen light I have a little different setup with a hub generator and the SuperNova E3 Pro I have the mount attached to one side the fairing bracket, it sits up a bit higher, but I like the better angle of the light.

Shipping The bikes are packed very well to survive the trip to their new owners. There is foam and zipties to keep everything in place and protected, so when you get it it will be in great shape Here is a Silvio that I got for a customer. As you can see everything is...
