The Silvio 2.2, aka "White Silvio," was the immediate predecessor of the S30, and was very similar. It had a front fork with a small head-shock, and a slightly different chainstay. Seat angle 27-28 degrees. The S30 has the same frame, IIRC, but with an unsuspended fork that didn't compensate for...

The picture is of a Silvio 2.2, best I can tell. Definitely not an official S30. And the front shock is flat.

Started a Conversation with you (sent you a PM)

Unsolicited testimonial: I've bought two bikes from ReklinedRider, one a few weeks ago (Q45) and one several years ago (Silvio 1.5). I can attest that he takes top-notch care of his Cruzbikes.

Are you interested only in the Sofrider, or would you look at other older models? I just bought a used Q45, so I'll be looking to sell my Quest 2.0 soon.

I had linked it. Click on "2022 Q45".

Reklined Rider put drop bars on his 2022 Q45. ETA: I bought the Q45 from him today, 4/20/24.

I have a stem riser on my S30. The bike shop didn't have a riser in the length I needed, so they sold me a longer one and cut it down a bit at a time until I had the right fit. I swapped out the stock handlebar at the same time for a Soma Junebug bar, because I wanted a different amount of...

2. My first Cruzbike was a Quest, a predecessor of the Q45, with a similarly upright seat. Never actually fell while learning to ride, but slammed my feet down an awful lot to keep from falling. 3. I used pinned platform pedals most of the first year, with mountain bike shoes. When I was...

Not intentionally, no. :oops: . Doesn't seem like a Cruzbike would be as suitable as a Flevobike for that sort of thing. I never got the hang of riding a unicycle, either. There were times when I was learning to ride a Cruzbike that I did lift the rear wheel, usually when coming down a hill to...

Do we have an AI bot here?

I have a Quest 2.0. I've been wondering how difficult this would be to do. What motor did you use?

Older models did. I have a Quest 2.0 that came with front suspension. It wasn't a lot of help. I replaced the front fork with an unsuspended one after a year or two. It is short, I think 125 mm, and is for road use. It's a low-end Kind spring shock. Some of us upgraded to an air shock from the...

I run Schwalbe Kojaks 24" x 1.5" (40-507) on my Quest.

I believe the bike is a QX100, rather than a Quest. Basically the same frameset and handlebars, with a new name and different colors. The Quest only came in burnt orange, while the QX100 was offered in dark blue, dark green, and black. You can check with Rose City, or search the forums, to make...
