    Elevated Seat ??

    And also, do ratz' steps exactly. EXACTLY. Even after I had been riding Cruzbikes for nearly a year, learning on my own by trial and error, I went back and did his steps and came out a better rider. Wish I had had them to start with. I still do figure 8's pretty often, always concentrating on...

    I cut the boom

    Hmm not following. Which clamp further forward? Boom clamp? Would that move the bars further forward, thus closer to your legs, and thus requiring the bar ends further back so you can reach them? This is fascinating to me and coukd become a great CB fitting lesson. Trying to imagine a handlebar...

    thoughts from a smaller rider

    Thanks for the words of encouragement Gary, Duncan, jond, trplay, and Larry. I wondered why Maria's headrest appeared shorter in some pics! Thought maybe it was an earlier model. Or something. Makes sense that it was cut. (Larry and Gary I know you two have met Maria...care to venture a height...

    thoughts from a smaller rider

    Actually 5'6". Ex-seam 41.5" which means short torso, thus my concern with the headrest etc. Without ever having been on a V, I'm still optimistic I can figure out a way to make it fit ok. :) Isn't Eric Winn about 5'6"? Any other short folks on a V? 'Short people got no reason to live...."...

    I cut the boom

    Bladderhead's bars are similar to this (although this is a Sofrider I will use virtually identical bar/brake levers/ shifters setup on Vendetta) Weird, but ergonomic.

    thoughts from a smaller rider

    What?! Are you pulling our collective leg, or is Larry truly only 5'1"? If so you have just made me feel immensely better about my chances of being able to make the Vendetta work for me, as I most definitely fall into the 'shorter rider' category. How tall is Maria?? Cruzbike Hobbits, unite!

    The V Chronicles

    Prelude: okay, bit the bullet and preordered the fall 2015 V20 Core edition. Slowly accumulated over many months: RōL D'Huez tubeless ready wheelset (left from previous Silvio 1.5; would go Bontrager or American Classic if I had it to do over) Schwalbe One 28mm tires Rival brakes Shimano...

    I didn't know why it took two taps. True about the new browser tab. Just happy it works :)

    What Abbott says about site functionality on iPhone holds true on mine too. All works well with iPad though. KM

    My Neck Rest is better than Yours.

    Hmmm do tall people have trouble with this issue too, or is Randy Newman in charge of Cruzbike's headrest design team? :cool:o_O:cool:

    Duplicate. Ignore

    Oy vey.... A small town Rabbi and a Baptist preacher decide to split the cost of a car to visit their members and each have it every other day. The Baptist wins the coin toss to use it the first day. Early evening he brings it to the Rabbi's house and the Rabbi asks "Why is the car all wet??"...

    Shoot me and put me out of my MISERY!

    Amen to that. Happy to have made it through two motorcycle wrecks. The second one was a source of wry humor for the wrench at the Harley shop--"Well, durn, son. Not everybody gets to total an Electra Glide and just walk away from it." I may be a slow learner, but I opted to skip that third...

    Sizing conundrum

    Can those extenders be cut to size? Wrong question. Try again. If one cuts that type of extender a bit, so that it is shorter than it comes from the mfg but higher than the bike's native steeerer tube, will the bolt that goes into the star-fangled nut be too long or can it go on down into the...
