Hello all. Check this link out for one of Lance Armstrong's training rides in Hawaii. http://www.livestrong.com/lance-armstrong/video/5203-lance-armstrong-training-hawaii/5203/ The last mile was a 17% grade! Harold

Any Cruzers in the metro-Atlanta area?

I am doing a little spring cleaning and came across an old frame (without a rear triangle) that I'd recommend for kit-builder with better than average technical skill. I've listed the frame on Ebay, where you can see a photo if it. Bidding starts at $10 and closes in 7 days. "This is a used...

I'm desperate to try one! Also, I will be in NW and UP Michigan in June/July. Any CB's out there? :geek:

What I thought I learned from the 30 minutes at Josh’s in Margate, FL, well.... Between that short experience and reading everything I could about MBB FWD, I survived starting and stopping on the lot next door to my house. I think I only dumped it once, no maybe twice, but that was between soft...

Hi Raiul, I hope you like our site and forums, there is plenty of helpful people here ready to help you.

Has anyone tried a front wheel stabilizer on a sofrider or freerider, or maybe a conversion? http://www.hebie.de/stabilizer-696-made-of-elastom.hebie6950.0.html?&L=1 I was thinking it might make the bike easier to park?

When I built Silvio II, I didn't put much effort into cleaning up components and stuff, I pretty much threw it together as is and rode it. Everything was groovy, but I had noticed some degradation in shifting. I had been using a chain lube that was once polularized on BROL, but I discovered...

I received my Cruzbike jersey yesterday (thanks John and Maria!) It's a beauty and a quality garment. I was skeptical when I saw they were offering them for $20, but my skepticism was without merit! The colors are very nice; the pictures don't do it justice. There are two pockets, instead of...

Hi I had some trouble with the rubber at the edge of the seat always comming off just where the telescopic front tube hits the seat when parked. It turned out it was the clamp, and that simply turning it will prevent the rubber from slipping off.

I'm building a bike for a friend. Long story, but this is a real deserving guy. I'm donating a frame/fork and my labor. We're not looking for charity, but if you have extra parts laying around, we'd be happy to pay you. We've been accumulating some stuff, already. The list of what we need...

Today i was out for the first longer ride this year and since i got the Rohloff. I did my normal rutine, an hour of riding up and down 3 hills. Well, it usually takes an hour. Last time i did this ride was in late August :-( because i've been really busy since then. Back in August i had the...

Any specifics about the Silvio II? What about cost and avability?

I skipped riding yesterday (Saturday) because it was misting. Of course, as soon as I committed to doing something else, it quit, but the threat of rain caused me to give up the notion. Today, I got out of bed determined to ride, no matter what. It was cold... Really cold..... 41 degrees...

My pulse is pounding and my legs are like jelly - and that was just the first 400 yards! I can confirm that the bike can be ridden* by a 66 year old Cruzbike virgin after a couple of minutes, if my wobbly progress can be called riding. First I sat on it and rolled down a 1% slope - about 50...

I realise there's a little weight penalty and a fairly big cost, but to get a wide gear range from any Cruzbike that doesn't have a derailleur post you have the option of the Schlumpf bottom bracket drives. The heel kick change is very light and shouldn't present an insurmountable problem in...
