Rumor has it ( i.e. Bryan Ball over at BROL said that he heard) that this will be available as an aftermarket add-on and will have brakes and a tilt lock.
Very cool!

?Bam!
(I'd love to see a rear brake here, but that's solvable. I'll be very curious to see how this evolves.)
Hi,I agree strongly with
Hi,
I agree strongly with what Robert says. Cruzbike will continue to do well.
I also want to voice my very strong appreciation for the bikes that John T. designed. We expect very good things from you in the future. I wish you the very best and look forward...
For your first point: The
For your first point: The weight of the front end is annoying when pushing the bike. That doesn't translate at all into how the bike handles (as Kim correctly pointed out).
For your second point (stability at high speeds):
This has a lot to do with the...
Charles you are running out
Charles you are running out of excuses not to by a Silvio..... it's almost too easy now.
:D
At this point, I'm leaning towards going to the V as I've already got suspended bikes that have seat angles close to 30 degrees. But probably not terribly soon...
Hey Rick,
Can you do the same
Hey Rick,
Can you do the same thing with the 10th one (lower right hand corner)? And maybe different speeds?
I think that one might look the coolest rotating.
Cheers,
Charles
I'll echo Eric's sentiments:
I'll echo Eric's sentiments: very cool indeed! :D
The first question I have: did you need to do anything with the brakes?
Off-topic: There is a special needs subforum over at BentRidersOnline. I could imagine you posting any mods you made as they would...
Except for chain length
Except for chain length differences, I would be surprised if you couldn't just pop off the 50/34 and throw on a 53/39. Or even swap back and forth.
And at some point you may even just go for 53/34 (assuming rear derailleur could handle it).
Well, we do now.
I never
Well, we do now. :D
I never heard about it until today. Looks pretty cool, actually. Don't know how much use it would be for 'bents (unless they let you sort by bicycle category explicitly).
Nice find!
Hi Jimbo,
Did you replace the
Hi Jimbo,
Did you replace the bottom bracket when you put on the triple? I found the stock bottom bracket wasn't wide enough for a triple (upgraded to 123mm wide square taper).
Cheers,

I have routinely ridden both
I have routinely ridden both of my Cruzbikes at under 3 mph pulling kids on a trail-a-bike or just riding really steep hills with no balance issues. I agree it depends on how much you like to spin compare to mash, but even with a low of 17", I've wished for lower...
