    Adjusting to different seat angles

    Larry, I don't care how old you claim to be, how much soreness you claim to have in your shoulder, or how many surgeries you've had on your knee - you have one hell of a set of muscles/heart/lungs to do that! and at ~150lbs! "I'll have what he's having."

    Snilard - if these are your options - go with the Vendetta, and a 2.45us$ cup of coffee.

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    Duncan, we can see how well/if the Vendetta fits into your car too - if it's an important part of the "test ride". :) Don't think the Silvio 1.0 is a fair comparison - wheelbase aside.

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    if anyone else is interested - some more chatter on this in some forum or other that I found. (hehe - also XenForo!) http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/self-illumination.66658/ oh - and I don't really buy the argument that "you want people wondering what the heck you are?" That second of...

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    Bob, Those are great options for sure - but I still maintain that you just can't beat being able to tell what is actually coming at you - snap judgement-wise. Turns out - a company in UK has one that does what I mean. Compare this video to the fibre flares - something that resembles a human vs...

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    FWIW - I've twice put the Vendetta 2.0 into the hatchback of a Prius 2008(?) from Uber. Only removed the rear wheel. Once when I completely munged up the front wheel on a BIG A%% rock and the 2nd when I flatted for the 3-4-5th time - hadda get to work.

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    Bob, My budget is so shot, I gotta wear shades. ---- These lights are pretty awesome - when it comes time to worry myself over more lighting I have direction. Thanks Team. One corollary on lights - I have a still-incomplete-but-practically-tested theory that takes into account how (I think)...

    Power meter for Vendetta

    I use an older Joule GPS with a Powertap hub - purchased pretty cheaply on Wheelbuilder last Spring. Tim is loaning me his Joule. Some drawbacks - this model takes a REALLY long time to find satellites - sometimes as much as 10 min. Also noted is how difficult it can be to share the powermeter -...

    Questions re: Silvio from a stickbike/lowracer rider

    Duncan, I hear TTurner has already volunteered my bike(s) for a test ride. :) My Silvio is a good start, to get used to the platform but you'll have to ride the Vendetta to get close to the same feel as the S30. Shoot me a note and I'll meet you somewhere with the bikes. In fact - 2 weeks from...

    New Vendetta V20

    Hey Abbott! I was thinking that your entry into Cruzbike's was similar to mine - my previous bent broke beyond reasonable repair/trustworthiness. I looked around - found the 1.0 Silvio and have been happy ever since. Great bikes, great tribe, and hey - killer new forum! See you on the trail!

    Water Bottle Mounts on Silvio 2

    Camelback on front Elliot, I've done two long rides with a camelback thing on my front on a Vendetta 2.0. I EXPECTED an aero penalty but so far haven't created any other choice. Now I'm not so sure, and after reading your post here (granted it's an old post) I think I might need to...

    One heck of a ride

    David, Love it. I had the David, Love it. I had the pleasure of visiting Madrid several times more than twenty years ago (also got to see Barcelona once in 2000) and your picture reminded me of the gritty, warm, smell of the air, lots of memories. So...thanks for that! :) Nice...

    Great bags for Cruzbikes: FastBack Double Century

    Another Vendetta Bag Option I met Chris Young, from Portland at the Seattle Bike Expo last weekend. He has a Vendetta 2.0 and a unique and different bag option I haven't seen before (might be in here somewhere?) He modeled it for me on the V20 at the show. I forgot to ask what it was...
