    Sold. Adjustable headrest for V20, V20c, S40, for shorter riders. Free.

    I was having a little trouble a while back sorting out the stock headrest that came with my V20. I bought this adjustable headrest to be able to make various changes until I found my headrest sweet spot. It worked, and I was able to replicate that spot with the stock headrest, which I prefer a...

    Sold. Unused Vendetta 20c wheels and build kit. $1,100.00, incl. U.S. shipping.

    I pulled the trigger on one of the early batch V20c complete builds, with the intention of using a wheelset and SRAM Red drivetrain that I had on hand. The price difference between the full builds available first, and the framesets open now for pre-orders and arriving in the fall is $1,400.00...

    A second V20c build and ride impressions

    I bought my first Cruzbike (and first recumbent) in 2015. It was one of the last of the gold Vendettas, known as the V.2, before the red V20 came out. But after retrofitting the V20 boom and chainstay, as well as the carbon fiber seat pan, I took to calling my V.2 a V20. Since then I have...

    I guess it's all in the name

    I did the Chico Wildflower Century today on my V20, and three times, at three different spots on the route, I heard, "All right, that guy's cruising" (or, "cruzing"). I also had a DF roadie snob ask me, "What the f_ _ _ are you doing?" as he passed me going the other way at the bottom of the...

    "I can't believe you did all that on a recumbent."

    So this past Saturday I rode the Eastern Sierra Double Century, with a bit over 10,000 feet of climbing, on my V20. Great ride; loved it. I rode it solo, but at the end, shared a table with a group that I had played tag with for a while on the route. The group had matching jerseys that read...

    Two sets of 160mm cranks for sale, each sold separately.

    Hello all, The large parts makers stop their cranksets at 165mm or 170mm, leaving those of us who need shorter cranks to hunt around. I have been riding 160mm cranks on a V20, S30, and S40 for five years now, but I had always been curious about trying 155mm, just to see if they were better or...

    This is a Quest 559 with front and rear suspension and a 1 x 10 drive train. Upgrades include: * Swapping out the original CB seat pad for a Ventisit pad. Much better air circulation. * Replacing the cranky budget-level 2 x 9 shifters, derailleurs, and chainrings for a simpler, snappier...

    For Sale: Almost new Ventisit Classic pad for V20 or S30. $75.00, includes shipping.

    I decided to switch to a Ventisit pad for my V20, but didn't know if the 2 inch Classic or 3 inch Comfort pad would be better for me. Of course, there's only one way to find out for sure. So I ordered the Classic pad through Ventisit. The fit, ventilation, and comfort is really impressive. I...

    After 4500 miles on my V I've developed "tennis elbow"

    Hi all, I have a year and 4500 miles on my V 2.0. My elbows began to hurt a little over a month ago, and I have recently been diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis, commonly called "tennis elbow." It is a condition that occurs through overuse combined with weakened forearm muscles and leads to...

    Two questions for anyone who owns both a Vendetta and a Silvio

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, after lurking for a while. I have about 2500 miles on my Vendetta 2.0, my first recumbent after 27 years on a DF. I love it! Now the little reptilian part of my brain responsible for bike lust is wondering about the Silvio, not as a replacement for the...
