I use an inexpensive helmet I purchased from Amazon called the Basecamp. It comes with a magnetically attached eye shield sun visor. I can flip the visor in place or turn it up with one hand while riding. I also purchased a yellow tinted visor for better visibility on our foggy days here in the...

A longer chain stay would drop your bar some. Not sure if you already have that or not? Talk to Robert Holler at at Rose City Cycles since he is about the same height as you I think. I understand your nervousness with the V at high speeds. Once I get above 30 mph on mine my confidence quickly...

Clipless refers to pedals that attach to a cleat on the bottom of the shoe. They are called clipless even though the rider's feet are "clipped in" to the pedals because they replaced the cumbersome old fashioned cages and straps that held the foot attached until the rider reached down to loosen...

I'll take the opposing side on this one. I have been riding SPD's on my Vendetta and also on my old Silvio 1.0 and using flats on my T50. I find that for an around town & occasional gravel bike, the T50 is just so much easier to use and handle with the flat pedals. So there I was with flats for...

Here's my stab at your questions. I've been Cruz biking for over 10 years, starting out with a Silvio 2.0, then graduating to a V20, then acquiring a Silvio 1.0, a Freerider, a T50 and last year an S40. Yes. As your skill and comfort level increases so will your average speed. Keep in mind that...

Sounds like a case of the new Cruzbiker jitters. I had the same when I started out 12 years ago on a Silvio 2.0. Trying to keep a straight line with the moving bottom bracket while in a laid back position on the 27 deg seat was a real challenge. It took me about 3 months of riding to get...

That seller is me. The reason I asked for remittance in full or cash up front if you prefer is that the buyer, underpressure, responded with no questions asked about my bike or the accessories offered which I found kinda strange. The other thing is when I searched for underpressure's profile I...

I am selling my Silvio 1.0 for $800 + shipping. It is a zippy little bike with a comfortable 45 deg seat and dual suspension (air shock fork and elastomer rear). I added a chainstay extender ($100) to lower the handlebars and improve the handling. This can be easily removed if needed. I am 5' 9"...

Who is the Cruzbike IT person? Ratz, can you fix this?

How is this Connect With Owners site working out? Has anybody been contacted by a prospect? I pulled up the map but clicking on the spots where I could supposedly contact an owner just gave me a grayed out useless screen.

Not sure if I'm signed up or not. I entered info & photos of 3 of my current Cruzbikes but since I'm using my desktop it wouldn't affirm the 6 digit code sent to my phone to allow me to finish.

Yes, that was my experience also - that the headrest on the S40 is way too far back and can't be adjusted. This has led to a number of customers purchasing the adjustable headrest. However, the stock headrest can be made to work. You just need to work on it. The foam in the headrest is 10.5"...

Get 2 Zefal Spy mirrors and mount them on the brifters. They allow you to easily see what's behind you with just a slight glance to the side and placing them on the brifters keeps them out of the wind stream.

I'm no spring chicken either. I'm 79 and I love fast rides.
