He's ridden it... He's puttered around on my Silvio at Portland Raceway once or twice. I can't recall if he tried out the Vendetta - not sure why actually. He's a little put off by the MBB but he still thinks it's a killer bike and if we ever have the opportunity to get him on it for any...

Anyone else interested in Sending him something right now! Thanks.

I'll put in a few recent I'll put in a few recent one-liners too! 1) On a bike shop ride couple weeks back - I hammered this 1.8 mile climb with Tim Turner and another hard-core fella (probably 55 yrs old but a complete specimen)...

I used a disc cover on the front I bought a package from Wheelbuilders.com - Powertap, wheel, build and aerojacket. Put it on the front of the Vendetta and took it out for a spin. Great! Took it out another time - in about 10mph swirling winds. Felt it for sure but, meh - it was ok...

I've thought about... I've thought about setting up a camera to capture this angle before - you did it a great service. Love it - the timelapse is pretty amazing too. One thing I've noticed about timelapses and cranking the pedals on bikes - they don't really go too well together...

I would LOVE to get a closer I would LOVE to get a closer look at that setup in the 1st pic? I see some fairing-type additions to that - is that Charlie? - looks pretty sweet!

yes cheesy and yes - you raised the bar. Nicely done!

I remember my first 40 mile I remember my first 40 mile ride - I couldn't walk downstairs for 6 hours after. And...don't forget that 97.79% (ish) of folks out there hear "66 miles!" on a bike and stand, with their jaws on the floor, in awe. As they should - it's a fantastic...

Taken with Hyperlapse I did this with hyperlapse - but when I processed it using Hyperlapse I thought it was too fast and it had some garbage before and after while I got the camera set. So I edited and slowed it down with iMovie and then uploaded to YouTube. All of those translations made it...

Andrew, You are right! That Andrew, You are right! That just means that, whatever time they show, is speed time. :) They remind me of the tape pieces The Mythbusters put on things when they are taking high-speed camera footage and measuring velocities.

That's a bunch easier John, it's funny - I could have read that last week and I'm not sure it would have helped - but now, having done it, it makes PERFECT sense. Not sure why I was so scared of the QRing thing - anything that feels like magic does that to a person I guess. Maybe I'm...

one caveat Larry - I'm sure you know this but it bears repeating. Wind resistance increases with speed - so just because Ratz said he was 4-5mph faster on his V than his S doesn't mean that your 24mph effort on your S will be 28-29mph on your V. This page has some awesome...

I have to admit - the I have to admit - the QRings were scary magic to me. I didn't understand them so I didn't touch them (I left them how I got them on the bike). But...I finally sat down and read and re-read JT's instructions, Ratz' description, the pictures you guys put in here (which...

Now that's some water! That Now that's some water! That looks like the same wheel Maria had in Portland? Why does it have the green florescent stickers at 12-3-6-9 o'clock? I'm going to be going the poor man's route here pretty soon and covering my rear wheel with some airplane skin. ;)

I knew this was a good idea Thanks for all of the links and interest. I too would be interested in a PAC tour but I still can't get the idea of racing out of my head. :) Right now I'm not paying attention to the cost (but when it comes down to it I have two daughters who will need to go to...

Chasing Tim!! Bob, "Chasing Tim" is right! Sounds like the best name for my new band! Honest opinion - is it too much to expect this kind of stuff from the likes of these Cruzbikers. Based on how much better my times have gotten since I started riding this Vendetta - it makes me want to...

So, I certainly wanted a title to get your attention - but I have to caveat this as unofficial. Mostly just me riffing on something Bob (Ratz) said in another thread (?http://cruzbike.com/and-so-it-begins...). That, combined with just how much freakin' awesome it is riding this Vendetta...

just wow Larry, Great report. At first, I have to admit, I was like "Oh boy that is long - I'll just skim it." But then I found I couldn't. I'll second the sentiment that (paraphrase) "the Parkers are good people" I had a chance to meet them in Portland this year and their...

I rememeber this happening to me on Silvio 1.0 John, There's no reason we couldn't make such an addition on our own right? Especially if we are already outside warranty? (Silvio 1.0) If so - what is a good "spec" for a weep hole. Lief

KiwiGuy - 11sp Vendetta I know this is the Silvio forum but KiwiGuy - I think the Vendetta II is just fine with 11sp, if that's what you are after. See this thread - http://cruzbike.com/sram-force-22-vendetta
