    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    That's the stock Cruzbike handlebar that came with the frame.

    New to CruzBike and considering a purchase of the V20 frameset

    I have a used 42T black Q-ring, 130BCD, from my old road bike. 2000 to 3000 miles on it, still looks pretty good. If anyone's interested, send me a PM and we'll discuss.

    New Cruzbike Accessories

    Just got the email. Perfect timing. I for sure want the headrest and Perez :emoji_sunglasses: clamps. Considering the utility post.

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    The little wheel the cable passes over to loop back to the front derailleur? That was already installed when I got the frameset. I'll check it tonight, though. The cable is coming off toward the inside. It already is. My shifters are set up where the right hand shifts the FD. The cable run goes...

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    Mark Stonich said in his e-mail, "Lately it seems like 1/3 of my customers are Cruzbike riders who need shorties and either want, or already have, Q-rings." Sounds like we're giving him plenty to do! I like the 155s that came with my Q, so I figured why not? After I got the pedal and handlebar...

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    I wish! Front shifting isn't working yet, and the cable keeps popping off the pulley when I tighten it. Rear shifting mostly works, except it skips the next-to-largest cog coming down, and hangs on the third-smallest. The barrel adjuster doesn't seem to be doing squat. Once I conquer the...

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    This was mainly a "check the fit" type ride, not more than a mile or two. I sat up a bit during turns, but I don't think I'll have a problem handling the bike at the lower angle--unlike when I test-rode @ReklinedRider's V20 last summer. I could see the road right in front of the wheel almost as...

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    Since so many here have documented their builds so professionally, this will be more of an amateur hour. :emoji_laughing: I had been contemplating an upgrade from my Silvio 1.5 for several months. Much as I'd enjoyed it the past two years, I finally felt ready for a more laid-back, faster bike...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Your doctor is complaining because your "good" cholesterol is high? As hard as researchers have tried to prove* their theory that saturated fat and cholesterol cause coronary heart disease, they just haven't been able to get more than a weak correlation. (Sugar consumption has a much stronger...

    This itch is in need of a scratch.

    Just sold a trike on BROL, and my old Silvio frameset on the Recumbent Classifieds Facebook page--which is also where I bought my new (demo) S30 frameset. Shipbikes.com worked well for both sales. Sold two tadpole trikes locally on Craigslist.

    My journey to a V20

    :D I think you'll like it here. Welcome!

    v2/k less than 100 miles $1350 free shipping

    He's including shipping in that cost, though. And he may have upgraded the derailleur--SRAM Rival seems a little higher spec than I'd expect for a V2/K.

    v2/k less than 100 miles $1350 free shipping

    It's a utility bike akin to the Sofrider, originally sold as a frameset only. Discontinued some time back. Cruzbike built up the last few frames in the warehouse and sold them as complete bikes. Stock photo:

    I hope not too. Time will tell. :D Yes, they're sending me 2 hangers.

    SOLD! Silvio 1.5 frameset

    As soon as I finish packing and shipping the Hase Kettwiesel I also just sold, and pack and ship the 1.5. Which may take all weekend, as slow as I am. Still waiting for the cables, new chain, bar tape, and handlebar shim to come in. Oh--and the derailleur hanger, which somehow didn't find its...

    Ordered it from Cruzbike. Call or e-mail and ask about it.

    New to Cruzbike

    Do you have the long chainstay or the short one? If it's the short one, you could replace it with the long one (the same one you see on the QX100 above, AFAIK) and raise the bottom bracket a couple of inches. This would also let you swap out for wheels up to 26" if you ever wanted to. I have a...

    S30 buildup with Volae Comfort Carbon L seat.

    Glad to hear this, since mine is supposed to arrive today. :emoji_clap::emoji_thumbsup: Do you happen to know what the handlebar-clamp diameter is for the S30? I have a 25.4 mm handlebar I want to reuse from the Silvio 1.5.
