We've seen some great successes on the Vendetta which have thoroughly vindicated all the design premises of going to front wheel drive for recumbent bikes. Behind the scenes there are always manufacturing challenges such as how to obtain the right materials and what is the best way to design and...

Test

I finally got around to taking some pics of the mountainous terrain on which I train here on the RAAM / RAW route in Prescott. I took special care to shoot the roadside shrines of the many motorcyclists who flew off the cliffs or ran smack into the mountain after going too fast and missing...

headrest adjustments That's not to say I am not interested in your finding and improvements. Mr V. Can the headrest be lowered by packing out the upper attachment bolts? You will need for this some nylon washers and longer M5 bolts. What extension on the headrest do you have presently...

let your body get with it Hi Mr V and hi Dan, The bars tend to raise the arms, I know that, but it is intended. In my testing of the V, I found that if I lowered my hands, the arms would lose their pependicularity with the body and I was not able to access the same power, I felt weak. I...

aunties integrity I know what you mean - but aunties integrity had to be respected. The actual invention is the defined by the US patent on Silvio, which describes a single telescoping tube between crank and handlebar. Sofrider and Quest are not inventions by that test. By other assessments...

Catch the Cruzbike intro package, including clips of Vendetta being ridden Catch iView, to see the show. Cruzbike, from 9 minutes 30 seconds:

Hi y'all, Now that the board is back up... I've successfully completed my 700c conversion (V2/K frame, Sram i-ride front fork, velocity rims w/blade-type spokes, ultegra crank, sram 9.0 shifty bits) and am very happy with the results. The bike is much more comfortable (lower seat height), fast...

It is possible to ride in the It is possible to ride in the middle hub gear for a lot of the time, which is 1:1 and zero power loss in the hub. Actually, I ride in the middle gear almost exclusively. My Quest has a child seat which does require a bit of extra effort on the small hills around...

I recently purchased a helmet-mounted "tail" light that works really well with the relatively low profile of my new sofrider - not only does it sit on top of my helmet, it actually self levels and maximizes the visibility for oncoming drivers/vehicles. It is called the "Planet Bike Blinky "3H"...

My shifting was getting really bad on the Quest.Spent way too much time trying to adjust the cables.Finely bent the hanger back and now shifting is perfect. Jack

Would the Polaris Scrambler make a good donor bike? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Polaris-Scrambler-26-Mountain-Bike/11064947

Hello! My conversion donor has a frame geometry such that the seat is relatively high. The height is not a problem as such, but the bottom bracket could probably be higher relative to the seat. This can obviously be accomplished by shortening the adjustable tube, that is, swinging the bottom...

I know some Vendettas have shipped and arrived at homes. Where are the pictures and the ride reports? Here I am sitting in front of my computer while it is sunny out there and just waiting on pictures... Hey, sun in the PNW, I guess it is time to RIDE. I will check back in when it is wet...

 think the problem is with think the problem is with shorter riders.My X seam is 41 and the triple went right on with no problem. Jack

Has anyone set up a softrider for off road (maintain) biking?

Just wanted to share my newly finished conversion Kit. The donor is a Kawasaki DX126 that I purchased from Amazon.com. Great price and no shipping and no sales tax. The only two pieces that I had to buy extra was an adapter for the headset and a piece of threaded metic rod due to the headset...

oh yes Exactly, John, that is the whole point. However I am not yet ready to make and substantiate that claim. I have decided to take our cruzbike concept further in Vendetta and in new thinking to make Vendetta even faster. When I am satisfied on that front ... you know, and Gromit this...

Hi there- I want to hear back from anyone who has had to undergo a similar spinal fusion and can ride a Cruzbike successfully with no pain. A bad accident, not related to biking, necessitated the fusion with metal rods. Thanks!
