    Ultra-Mod Softrider Progressing

    I used to have a Windwrap on my Silvio 1.0 Dave, I ran a windwrap fairing on my Silvio 1.0 for about 3-4 months back in 2010. I removed it because of an accumulation of small issues: it wasn't wide enough to keep my hands warm (50% of the reason I wanted it) it scattered so much...

    Videos from the road

    very nice Usually I can't be bothered to watch 6 min off the front of a bike but this was different. The commentary REALLY made this video Bob. Thanks for sharing. Maybe now I'll try something similar - minus the dog and the wreck - gotta have the commentary.

    Vendetta V20

    Congrats Bruce! If I'm not mistaken you had a Silvio 1.0 correct? If I'm right - you are about to be overjoyed at the difference. I went from Silvio 1.0 to Vendetta 2.0 and WOW - it was like going from an arrow to a bullet. Enjoy!

    Vendetta V20

    HUGE point this is a HUGE point by the way. Ratz said: With a company as distributed as Cruzbike I think they lean heavily on trust and "doing what is right". The decisions and decision makers depend on a lot of that coming from this community and it has been cultivated by the core...

    Vendetta V20

    Another GIF What made the first GIF so good was the parity between the original images. This one - isn't quite an apples-to-apples comparison (size-distance-angle-bike config) all play a part. THAT said - this new animated GIF does offer at least one interesting difference - the...

    460mm carbon drop bars for Vendetta/Silvio

    Thanks for this Thanks for this BentAero! I've been thinking about this as well in my offseason. I want to tighten up my cockpit a bit (I kinda like my straight generic drop bars on my Silvio 1.0) and the gary bars I have on the Vendetta are...well...not that. :) If I pull the trigger...

    Vendetta V20

    this is probably over-dorky - this is probably over-dorky - and it might seem fanboy, and it's only one interpretation (leaves open for some mis-interpretation also) but WTH - I'll own those monikers. :) I'll get back to work now.

    Vendetta V20

    @Andrew - haha Yeah - every @Andrew - haha Yeah - every 5th frame shows hot popcorn and a soda for 1millisecond. :) I could actually do the same animation for all the models - they are well photographed on the site - it shows an interesting progression...ahhh - I have an idea. BRB

    Vendetta V20

    It didn't take me long to It didn't take me long to start liking the red too Andrew! About as long as it took for me to make this GIF. Pardon the flashy-flashy of this but the pictures are so uniform and good on the site that this is possible for a quick "stare-n-compare". Some...

    Boom creeping forward

    I second SuperSlim's comments. I second SuperSlim's comments. (BTW - thanks to all RE: the conversation around lubricating bolts, Torque specs, and other awesome things to know about the close tolerances and engineering of clamps and tubes and sanding etc...I learned a TON from this lame...

    Century

    Way to go! What is this thing called "recovery". Wished I'd known about recovery rides years ago - do it. And Larry, your place is "halfway"? To Sebring? for whom? :) Rick and I could ride for 9 days straight at Maria's RAAM 2013 pace and maybe make it to your halfway point! :)...

    S30 Review on BROL

    Seems like a pretty fair review. If I were new on the market and just starting to learn about recumbents - this review (and good pictures) would make we want one. Interested to see that he even made a comparison to the Encore - a true high-racer. that speaks highly of the S30 ...

    Front Disc Wheel

    NICE! Call it a finders fee? Oooh - I hadn't considered the hub to be a problem. Looks like the outer edge of your hub is even smaller than mine - but smooth. alt="Sestriere Hub" alt="Sestriere Rim" The fact that yours is so svelt - and they are delivering one to you -...

    The great Silvio/Vendetta swap

    Dear Going Nuts, While trying Dear Going Nuts, While trying to think of something witty and clever to say to somehow make a good-natured joke at your expense - I find that I cannot. I cannot because your drive and cleverness trump any attempt at humor or deprecation. Driving that...

    Front Disc Wheel

    I'm in - with 2 caveats. Caveats: #1 I still would like to hear back from Justin about whether my rear wheel will even really work (old-ish Siestre - pretty small profile). I'll find out on that one soon. #2 I'm not in a rush (riding season is basically over this far north) So - as...

    Front Disc Wheel

    I see that Catalyst has bulk discounts Larry? Bob P.? Rick? Ivan? Anyone else? I wonder if they have to be all the same wheel? Perhaps we could get a "Team Cruzbike Forum" order together?
