How 'bout a pic of your How 'bout a pic of your Grasshopper? The Quest frame could probably take a Rohloff and hydraulic disc brakes. Perhaps you might find a used one or see if you could buy the frame only from Cruzbike?

Great report, Ivan. I had no Great report, Ivan. I had no problem opening the embedded video. Singapore is such a beautiful place and you'll have a wonderful time with that beautiful bike. It's time for a helmet!

Great report. Love to see a Great report. Love to see a video of someone riding on this machine.

What a shame. That woman What a shame. That woman deserves more than a ticket. You're very lucky your leg wasn't run over. What's your assessment of how long (and at what cost) the repairs will take? Glad you weren't seriously hurt.

Eric, any pics of your Eric, any pics of your damaged V?

"I was hit by a woman while "I was hit by a woman while she tried to pass me with her Chrysler minivan on a heavily wooded blind corner, going uphill, and right before an upcoming intersection. Not very intelligent and contrary to traffic law but that is another story. She ended up colliding...

Well, I tried the headrest at Well, I tried the headrest at various seat angles from 27 - 45 degrees. I currently ride at 38 degrees but rarely use the headrest. I tried to mimic the seat angle of the new Silvio at 27 degrees and found the headrest to be very comfortable on long, straight...

Hi Rich,I can't speak for Hi Rich, I can't speak for the 451, but I've had the 559 Quest 2 for several years and recommend it highly. I'm a big fan of the SRAM Dual Drive, especially for commuting, as a flick of the thumb puts you in the right gear when stopping and starting as opposed to a...

Nine days - that's great. It Nine days - that's great. It took me months before I had the guts to even try. When I did build my confidence up, it was a whole new and wonderful biking experience. Didn't last long though as I fell twice at slow speed because I hadn't lubricated the clips and was...

Larry, Yes, you definitely Larry, Yes, you definitely want to confirm any filing with John T. and Doug. I had the same drop out ridges (that I carefully filed) on my Klein aluminum frame mountain bike. I've since made it into Cruzbike conversion but spend all my time on the Quest 2...

You can always go You can always go "conventional" to start with and get a good feel for the bike. But, since you are used to a Rohloff, I doubt that you can resist installing it for long. I had to shave a few mm off the drop outs of a very expensive aluminum frame Klein mountain bike many...

Ivan, thanks for a great in Ivan, thanks for a great in depth write up. Your bike is beautiful. I'll be curious to hear your review on how the Silvio compares to your road bike for commuting - the Singapore roads get a little hectic!

I'll be ready to upgrade my I'll be ready to upgrade my Q2 when the Q3.5 offers the curved aquiline beak and front suspension of the Silvio2 with wireless control of both the IGH and disc brakes. I prefer my 700c tires to be persimmon in color.

Very cool. I'd love a Quest Very cool. I'd love a Quest with 700c wheels.

Great pics - you look very Great pics - you look very comfortable on the bike. Was the seat angle good and how did the headrest feel? Keep us posted.

We should be getting some We should be getting some reports soon from new Silvio2 owners as it just started shipping. It wouldn't hurt to see how it is received and then decide. I went to several bike shops and tried several rear wheel drive recumbents (all very boring) before trying a...

Doesn't happen much on my Q2, Doesn't happen much on my Q2, only when I make a rough shift once per month or so. I've become adept at unclipping my right foot while riding (coasting) and surgically using the tip of my shoe to place the chain at an angle that I can reattach the chain using my...

I would compare the "hills" I would compare the "hills" in Aukland as you call them to San Francisco. Can you say "Granny Gear"!

In trying to get a feel for In trying to get a feel for the new Silvio seat angle, I lowered my Quest2 seat angle to 30 degrees and used a headrest for my last two 15 mile rides on my flat road / bike path circuit. While quite comfortable on long stretches of smooth roadway and no neck issues...

Maybe this is the Cruzbike Maybe this is the Cruzbike that will cover all bases. Would like the ability to have disc brakes, adustable seat angle, and optional forks for an IGH. I would upgrade from my Quest 2 in a minute.
