It could probably be arranged!

You would probably hurt us, so you would only be allowed to participate if you did around 150 miles with no food/water before you got there. And let a few pounds out of your tires. Or something.:) It would be fun if we could generate some interest in a local Cruzbike get together. Mark

I've ridden with a few local Cruzers, but I think there are more, now. Is there any interest in doing a group ride? Maybe one of the river trails, or....? Mark

I have a 52/36 chainrings and 11-32 cogs Mark

I managed to get out for another ride on my new S40 build this past Saturday. Like before, I decided to ride with one of the groups doing a tougher ride. Our group was a C group, with a spattering of people that are close to being B group riders. The morning was brisk, but I did not ride the...

Can’t wait for you to see it! Mark

What I neglected to say was the fact the six mile uphill ride home about did me in. I would have tapped out, if I could. I literally crawled the last two to three miles. I haven’t ridden much the last couple weeks, so that played a part. A slightly different riding position also broke in some...

My original S 1.0 frame was drop-shipped from Taiwan. Mark

One thing I learned this build on threading cable housing through the frame. I was struggling to get it done and finally fished some mechanics wire through first. I started at the head tube end and fed the wire through. A strong magnet at the mid frame exit hole brought the wire through like...

Thank you for your reply, woodguy! I sent them an email yesterday, but haven't heard anything back. I will probably try shortening my TFT a little and in effect, raise my bottom bracket some. I haven't really even ridden the bike but maybe a mile, so I really need to just calm down and focus...

I thought about that. Do they have longer chain stays available?
