Some great ideas to work on, and maybe in the meantime so I have some tools and tubes with me, I may buy the Moose Pack from the Cruz bike store.

Interesting, Thanks. By the way, had you been walking in mud?

When you say: "Scroll down" have far is it? ;-)

I've finally decided the Vendetta is not designed for carrying much other than a few bits and pieces. I bought a BUC seat bag bag from Bent up cycles thinking it would work or I could make it work, but it has a sleeve designed for the wide seat of Bachetta bikes and it is not stable on the V...

This looks as if it would swing side to side like a well endowed bull.

Soldier, Looking at your bike set-up, would you mind cataloguing all your gear for me? I plan a bikepacking tour next year and would like to consider my gear options. Thanks.

Thanks for all that. So now I need to look at the ICE web site. o_O I little realised when I bought the Vendetta that it would cost almost as much again to put it in working order. :(

Okay, thanks. I think I'll stay with the large one then, and if all else fails, I can always put a rear mudguard (fender) on. By the way, what make is the headrest you have on, is it a modification of the SAS from Cruz Bike?

Bruce, I've just called the company to find out the difference in the two sizes and was told the large one has a deeper draft, will the large drag on the wheel, is that why you bought the small?

Arghhh!!! I've just ordered the large one, why did you order the small one (they are the same price)?

Thanks Bruce, that's perfect, I'll order one.

Can anyone else tell me anything about Snillard's bag/water bottle set-up? I don't see it on the Cruz Bike web site, so a home made item? Thanks.

Snillard, could you tell me about the bag/water bottle arrangement you have behind the seat? Thanks. And by the way, mudguards? I haven't thought about mudguards, any use?

That is neat, useful too if you want to powder your nose. :cool:

"40 mph for 8 hrs has got to be a record" But wouldn't it be nice? ;):cool::p "I ordered a Thor "Sport G" in March 2016. The total bill was $220 US for the seat and for shipping. Packaging was very good and delivery was prompt." Thanks Bruce. Question to the group: What kind of rear view...

Can anyone say what the cost of a Thor seat is? I've looked at their web site but it appears you have to go through the 'ordering' process to get the numbers. Thanks.

FWIW: I think if I already owned a Bachetta or Schlitter or other fast recumbent I wouldn't have invested the money in a V. In my Bessies Creek 24 races I see a variety of recumbents. Some like the racers on the V (Parkers, Oz) are setting records but others on the B's and S's are pretty close...

"Cycle NC Mountains to Coast Ride - week long, starts in the mountains and ends at the coast" I'll have to look into this for next year. Sounds interesting. I have ridden about 6 bike tours of Colorado and am ready for some change of scenery.

Lee, you were not alone in bailing; according to the web site just now, out of the 1500 registered riders, only just over 800 finished - which also includes those who didn't start.

Maybe put a sock in it, or something similar? It's what I'm using now, but what about the adjustable headrest the shop sells?
