    1000 words. Some notes: It is amazingly stable. Puts the moving pieces at eye level if you are taller than @LarryOz Will put some impressions in your seat cushions if you leave it that way for a couple days/weeks (I know) - they go away eventually Takes a fair amount of space to be effective...

    Brad, View: Over the bars for the road (under the bars for the chainring check). They all have covered the derailer better than I ever could. The stand (I finally got) that works awesome is also from Feedback (https://www.rei.com/product/729321/feedback-sports-pro-elite-bike-repair-stand) any of...

    Brad, Looking at your right leg - it's more than 90°. For the strength-efforts/sprinting you plan to do that might cause you some knee pain (as it did me). That plus @ratz 's comments indicate shorter cranks might be a good option. I would be there already if I'd been riding much this year.

    Replace SofRider with QX100?

    I never hit send on my reply - Bob chipped my answer. :) ok - I don't have much experience with the SofRider (defer to anyone that does) but I have ridden one briefly sure- and my Silvio 1.0 is similar in seat position (>10,000 miles). I also have a current model QX100 and it is very...

    Replace SofRider with QX100?

    1st - why mess with happy? But...can I start with some questions? * what do you really like about your SofRider? * what really intrigues you about the QX100? * what is your typical ride? * do you want to change that some/much/at all? * have you test-ridden?

    V20 frame quality

    My experience on a 2013 Vendetta 2.0. Used > 5,000 miles by a very light (low cda) rider. I'm 5,11" and usually around 180. Hit a rock the size of my fist at 28mph. Dented and ruined my wheel, explosive flat. Frame fine. Hit a 2004 Camry at about 18mph - put a two inch dent in their rear...

    A high speed run

    "Incredibly Sketchy" - gross understatement. Pretty sure Strava would block that segment.
