Enjoyed meeting Lief and the other Cruzbike tribe members today. It was great to see all the different approaches people are taking with the T-50. Thanks to Lief for bringing bikes to ride, and for putting the event together.

Don't have a bike right now, as I sold my Softrider to Josh, but I would love to come take a look. I would also like to see you folks take on some of the hills in the area, as that has always been somewhat of a concern for me with a recumbent

Just sold my Cruzbike to Josh. He's going to use it as a commuter as he saves funds for a Vendetta. Welcome

As of today, the bike is still available. I do have someone who is going to test ride it this weekend. I will keep you posted

Sure, I can be contacted by text or phone at 253 355 3443, E-mail at wcrayon@AOL.com

Ready to try out the benefits of a FWD recumbent? I have a lightly used Cruzbike Softrider V2 for sale. It is in excellent condition and comes with the standard Cruzbike equipment of Sram X-5 shifters, Sram X-7 lower derailleur, Shimano Alivio cranks, Tektro brake levers, Weinmann wheels and...

Just had a chance to meet Rick and ride this Silvio. Rick is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about Cruzbikes. This Silvio is better than new. He has improved the seat, derailleurs and gearing. Cosmetically it is beautiful, looks brand new. You can't go wrong with this bike.

An online bike shipping company estimates shipping at $120 and the shipping box at $115. I have a used cardboard box that it might fit in with some disassembly.

I am having a difficult time trying to post pictures to this site, as it tells me the files are too large. If you give me an E-mail address I would be happy to send them, or if you prefer I can relist my posting on the Seattle Craigslist and you can view them there.

If you need any more information or pictures, just let me know

You are truly a mind reader. Thanks for helping me out with that missing piece of information

I have a lightly used Softrider v2 for sale. Asking price of $700 generated a lot of looks, but no takers, so I have reduced it to $600 I purchased it so that I could try the FWD concept to see if I liked it or not. I didn't find it to be a problem, so I am ready to move up the Cruzbike ladder...

Thanks for The Suggestions It would appear that it's unanimous. I will check out the Ventisit when Robert comes to Seattle. I did move the seat forward and lower the seat back, then took it out for about twelve miles on a local trail. The new position did help with some of the seat pressure...

Ventisit Pad I have seen a Ventisit pad, but am not very familiar with them. Do they take the place of the foam cushion? Do they provide any support or cushioning or are they mainly for ventilation purposes? Robert, any chance you might have an example when you come up to Seattle for the bike show?

Took out my newly acquired Softrider for its first ride yesterday. Went to a Park & Ride lot, did some figure eights and tried starting on an incline. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to pick up the basics. After about 45 minutes I was ready to venture out into the local...
