    Reading the tea leaves II

    Quest could be the best tourer or Silvio 3 ways I would dump the dual drive, add the curved boom from the Silvio but make it attach behind the bb, so any design bb and crank set could be used. Make the fork accept 700x32 w/fenders, or 26x1.75 w/fenders, and redesign the 451 with the same...

    reading the tea leaves

    Fix the seat first! I've lost close to a half dozen serious Silvio buyers because of the crudeness and discomfort of the seat.

    Cruzbike Sofrider Xtracycle concept

    Loved your Xtra-Xmas Loved your Xtra-Xmas photo: Thanks for the feedback thus far. Yes, I agree the slightly longer wheelbase stabilizes the whole CB mbb/fwd experience, and felt the same way during my time with the prototype. We had the same thoughts with the sidecar in "CB...

    Is the Silvio 2.0 out of Beta Yet?

    Guess I take a different Guess I take a different approach to customer service! I figure if I can convert that toughest customers onto a Cruzbike or another brand or model I carry, and kill them with service...then they will likely be some of our biggest fans. pRC has a lot of valid...

    Want to ride across the USA with an ultralight setup. Is the Silvo up for the job?

    Just get some Radical side bags https://www.radicaldesign.nl/en/products/recumbent-bags/side-panniers You might need a minimum bar or wire between the hub and head rest to keep the bags out of the rear wheel.
