I'm not sure what I'm looking for there, DL, but if you're talking about the set screw and jam nut, it looks like they're both there. Mark

Perfect fit! The under seat bag works perfect and fits between the water bottle holders. And.. since my last name is Bell, it works out double good. :D

Hi all Just did 2 group rides, Monday and Tuesday. Tonights ride was a killer. It was about 38 miles and involved a number of hills with 17% grades! But the Silvio kept up nice with the regular roadies. I found it to be as good at climbing these kind of grades as my Specialized upright. The...

I had an outstanding week of cycling. The weather was very accomodating, which really helps. I started the week with a 30 mile Sunday, doing the regular breakfast ride plus a little exttra Three days commuting 40 miles round trip, 120 miles total. Did a 60 mile ride with a friend from the...

HI all I was just reading an interesting article in "Road Bike Action Magazine" about a TDF rider Cadel Evans. He had a bike made by a Belgium manufacturer, Ridley. In the article, they describe a new carbon fiber process: "Process in which the shape of the the frame is first created using a...

Yesterday (Saturday) was the first time I had attempted to ride my conversion bike with the faster group. I definitely missed my Silvio. While the conversion kit is a great thing, simply upgrading components, wheels and installing a Cruzbike kit on a cheap frame does not make a superbike...

Hi All Just did another 40 mile ride through southern NH tonight.. pretty hot , in the mid 80's but like it warm when riding... According to my Garmin GPS, over the entire ride I averaged 17.6 mph... over the first 21 m I was going at 19.3 mph.. these are great numbers for me, much better...

Hello All, I have a Cruzbike Freerider and love it. I am interested in building conversions and was wondering if anyone knows if a Lowrider Bicycle can be converted to a FWD Cruzbike? To see examples of Lowrider bikes visit: http://www.bicycledesigner.com. The BMX style may work well; see...

Hi Cruzers, Thursday, I put my new Sofrider together and took a few rides around the neighborhood-interesting. Friday, a few more rides on the top of the hill and changed to clipless pedals—more interesting. Saturday, a little more riding and then drove to start of the 100K Strawberry ride...

Hi All As I've mentioned before, those GU energy packs are awesome on long rides, but a pain to deal with. Went to GU's website and ordered the GU bottle mount. Mounts right on the steering column on the Silvio, pretty convenient! Just fill it up, and squeeze. Harold

Hi Last night I got in my longest Silvio ride.. it was a 42 mile ride from Ashby, MA up through WIlton, NH, over to Milford, NH and down through Townsend, MA and back to Ashby... Some really gorgeous roads for riding in Southern NH. The first 8 miles were pretty much all up hill, some pretty...

Does anyone have experience with a Dahon Cruzbike conversion? I have a Dahon Helios I am considering converting...

Last Saturday (25th May) I took my Sofrider V2 along to an OzHPV organised group ride in Sydney. We had a very nice leisurely ride along the Cooks River Cyclepath from Olympic Park to Marrickville and back, stopping midway for lunch at a great cafe in an old Post Office building (called the...

Found a new Ultegra long cage derailer on ebay for 40$ too good to pass up.It works a lot better than the LX. I now have 2000 fun filed miles on the bike with no problems. Im looking forward to the Bentup Cycles ride in 3 weeks. Jack

[I'm reposting this one since it shows the child seat application, it is from late 2005] The Mule is a prototyping bike. Its a low cost Falcon "Optima Cyclone" purchased in the UK which found its way to Australia. It was bought on ebay for AUD $225. The bike as pictured on ebay. Then we get...

We had a huge group head out on our Saturday morning group ride. Of course, I was the only recumbent. It was cool and overcast in the morning, but that is typical for this time of year. I was Mr. Optimistic, going sleeveless from the start. Others wore arm and leg warmers and vests... I was...

One of the bike club members set up a ride to go out to Hangar 24, a new upstart microbrewery here in Redlands. Now, I'm all in for two things in life; bike riding and beer. Combine the two and I am sooooo there. The ride start is about five miles from my house and the plan was to ride...
