Want to buy Vendetta stock handlebar

My Vendetta Some mods I did: M5 carbon seat, Ocean Cycle tailbox, boom limiter/steering damper, stem extension-(For max aero, installed large chainstays though I am 5'9"), Custom paint-(reduced "Cruzbike" on boom, enlarged "Vendetta" on frame, etc) Will be fabricating custom bars to...

Yes, with one qualification I have used a 1up rack for years for many types of recumbents. The brace that goes on the end that would go over the front wheel would have to be adjusted so that it would catch the forward end of the wheel, as it will not clear the derailleur. The qualification...

visor- made from roof flashin@ Home Depot

couple of thoughts To find the approximate length for me, I put my heel on the pedal (with shoes on) and adjust so my leg is locked. With my . cleats as close to my heel as possible that works pretty good for me. In normal cycling I have a slight bend in my leg at full extension. If pedals...

will post Once I get it back and built I'll post a picture or two

I see per another post the Silvio got new decals. Hopefully they do something similar with the V. When my new V frameset came in last week I immediately took it to a specialty shop for a change on all the decals and some trim paint.

my recomendation http://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/continental-gatorskin-26-inch#m_pd_spec I have found these to be very durable and puncture resisistant. These are approx. 1 1/8" wide, you won't be disappointed. With suspension wider is not necessarily better.

ditto Got a Vendetta coming my way, my first MBB. Rode a Quest briefly and loved the MBB.

Volae bars Yes, they are aluminum, BUT, they are the strongest most rigid of all the open cockpit bars on the market. I've tried them all. Strength wise they are well suited for this application.

Bar & e-ring, etc. If you like the more extended reach the bars should be fine. The grips can be moved forward several inches yet for longer arms, the crank can be extended for longer legs. To clear the legs with the stock bar, the bar must be closer to the body or higher up, which then puts...

*SOLD* Selling for elderly lady recumbent friend. Less than 100 miles total. Excellent, not perfect condition. Very slight paint scuff on boom. Will be returning to stock steering setup, unless new owner wants both. Will definitely be putting stock crank and oval crank ring. (I put mine on...

A recumbent friend bought a new Quest 3.0 but can't get the handle on it. She is older so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, she asked if I'd sell it for her. I said yes but may I try it as I've never had that opportunity. The stock steering setup didn't suit me either, so I...

Better choice in cargo bike? wouldn't the lower frame height in this model be a better choice for a conversion? This is the Boda Boda ST model: http://yubabikes.com/cargobikestore/cargobikes/99-boda-boda-step-through.html

Bifocals/lower seat recline Chances are good that you will need single vision glasses to focus. I normally wear trifocals, but have single vision (for distance) glasses for recumbent riding. Others use contact lenses.
