Wheel spin can always happen I agree with this. :D

On Saturday (while riding On Saturday (while riding with a dozen recumbents), we saw a guy riding a DF who was sitting up and juggling. I think I can do that on a Cruzbike. I'll report back soon. (Or my wife will report that I've tried and failed. :D). p.s. For what it's worth, I...

Chapeau! Chapeau!

That is a really pretty That is a really pretty machine. I really like the red accents.

For the short term at least, For the short term at least, this is why knowledgeable dealers are so important to Cruzbike. They can make sure the customer gets the nicely finished bike that some of them want. Here's another crappy comparison story. Microsoft windows isn't the OS on most...

Keep in mind that Cruzbike is Keep in mind that Cruzbike is a small company that orders in relatively small batches. I think they've been surprised at how popular the new Silvio is...

Dude! Nicely done! Dude! Nicely done!

Hi Blair, You keep saying Hi Blair, You keep saying that for short commutes a DF makes more sense than a Cruzbike. I completely disagree with this. Part of this difference I think has to do with seat angle. Being able to have a more upright angle makes high traffic situations easier...

Hi Blair, Except for price Hi Blair, Except for price you keep writing. Except for that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? * The Silvio doesn't take tires wider than 28mm. That's an issue (in my mind at least). The 451 Quest packs completely into a single suitcase. That's a huge...

Aside from the fork, step Aside from the fork, step over height may be an issue and you'll want to mount the seat pan if possible so you can still fold the bike. This could be a fabulous choice for a conversion kit.

Hi Chuck, If you do attempt Hi Chuck, If you do attempt it, just be willing to not finish it. Having a (possibly) unreasonable goal can still be a lot of fun and a good source of motivation. There's a lot of wisdom in "living to fight another day." Regardless, do keep us up-to-date...

The efficiency difference The efficiency difference between 451 and 559 wheels is much smaller than efficiency differences between different types of tires.

For what it's worth, I don't For what it's worth, I don't disagree with Ivan (he's right that a bad experience here could easily cause to to avoid the bike for a while). I think you could probably do it (where I think John's estimates of 6 hours is way too short). I think you'll be happier...

A month is a short time to A month is a short time to prepare for a century, regardless of bike. The elliptical training will help, but I don't know how much. I do think that you can get used to the Silvio in a month, so that riding it will be as good a choice as any bike (and you won't be...

 For what it's worth, I think For what it's worth, I think the gearing on the 451 makes more sense than on the 559. If it were me, I'd keep the 451 wheels...

Hi Vovolc, That would be Hi Vovolc, That would be lovely. (Do you know the dimensions of the case?) cheers, Charles

I don't have a good answer I don't have a good answer for you, but: I believe my converted bike is a little bit lighter than my Sofrider, but I converted a folding bike. The seat, the seat support, most of the front triangle are the same. When I bought the Sofrider, I thought the...
