Some how I missed where you said forums. I only commented on what was available to sight. Ctl-A if you care. little joke. no worries,,,, just stumping for a History page , as these question come up again and again.

Sigh,,,,,nag nag nag,,, nope there is no reason to have a Cruzbike Historical page to be proud of. ???? How many did Ratz miss , in your opinion ? ( FreeRider ect What was that LWB one called anyway ?? Conversion kit ,,,, maybe, it did start the ball rolling.

700cc x 25 fit on my 2008 Sofrider. I say buy the wheels, and figure out the max tire width and brakes.

Personally I don't use the app. I have a CatEye Stealth 50 , because it was Ant+ capable, and I had my eye on a power meter. I have to use a PC and a usb cradle to transfer my data. There are a lot of brands out there, so a lot of research to find your pricepoint and have file transfer capability.

You mean like when some of the guys got Di2 systems and modified their stalks ?????

Cruzbike has fulfilled an amazing amount of the items that came up on Jim Parkers wish list post. cruzbike fitted: ( and sold @cruzbike) bags racks light mounts,ect wider tire clearance higher seat angle ( missing 45deg ) a touring model cruzbike a lower priced entry level cruzbike I am not sure...

Luis Rives,, Gary123,, Just how many cruzbikes frames do you think are made at a time, and how does that influence production costs ?? I think it's low enough to be considered a custom run.

Yeah, I agree. I have a box of old Softrider parts that I kept with the intention of passing on with my bike. I googled "microshift 8 speed" and came up with the usual suspects. ( got more hits without the caps.... Huh ) Niagara cycle Modern bike Jensen usa Amazon AliExpress (china post) Ten...

You would need to buy at least an 8 speed shifter to correct whatever the last owner did to your bike . If your think you would ever want a 20 speed Sofrider now would be a good time look at components. Micro shift components can save you some cash $$$$ but they are a Shimano based line. In...

!!!!! INCREASE your SALT dramatically !!!!!!!!! I know, I know, but try it , at least during the 6-8 week adaptation phase, you are putting your body thru. Have you had any other symptoms ??? Headache, cramps, or fatigue ???

where is a wheel builder when you need one ????? as a newbie I just made sure all the same side spokes were tensioned about the same. I found an outlier and that got rid of my noise. Btw I have inexpensive wheels with out any fancy tension schemes.

IMHO As long as you can pedal thru the turns your seat is fine. If you need the bars further back , so you can recline more, consider a shorter stem. with a super short stem you can mount it on the wrong side ( belly side not forward ) that should clear your knees for sure. :)

Good job on mounting your racks front end to a solid non-suspended frame point.:) The Old Man Mountain racks are designed to mount that way , but they are expensive, $100 usd plus.

This would be your first research project. Finding a Y framed mountain bike , from any manufacturer. http://web.archive.org/web/20060820143626if_/http://cruzbike.com/kit.html

On the metal seat cruzbikes (T-50, Quest, Sofrider, Silvio 1.0, and Silvio 1.5) you can use water bottle cage spacers or schrader/presta sleeves to good effect.

Finding the "IDEAL" frame for your conversion is gonna be a hobby or quest, definitely not a quickie. The lower you can get your seat the better. below are pics of my Sofrider notice the seat is lower than the top of the wheels.

I think,, just a Sofrider v2 frame, the last ones were built up by Rose City as a complete bike. Not having a parts donor bike, and not having bike mechanic experience I could never make the V2K framekit add up for me. New Sofrider $1200 I figured if I got a Used Sofrider for $600-$700 It would...
