It could probably be arranged!

You would probably hurt us, so you would only be allowed to participate if you did around 150 miles with no food/water before you got there. And let a few pounds out of your tires. Or something.:) It would be fun if we could generate some interest in a local Cruzbike get together. Mark

I've ridden with a few local Cruzers, but I think there are more, now. Is there any interest in doing a group ride? Maybe one of the river trails, or....? Mark

I have a 52/36 chainrings and 11-32 cogs Mark

I managed to get out for another ride on my new S40 build this past Saturday. Like before, I decided to ride with one of the groups doing a tougher ride. Our group was a C group, with a spattering of people that are close to being B group riders. The morning was brisk, but I did not ride the...

Can’t wait for you to see it! Mark

What I neglected to say was the fact the six mile uphill ride home about did me in. I would have tapped out, if I could. I literally crawled the last two to three miles. I haven’t ridden much the last couple weeks, so that played a part. A slightly different riding position also broke in some...

Buyer's remorse? What buyer's remorse? Build thread here: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/mark-bs-s-40-build.12676/ I took the new S40 out for it's initial ride yesterday. Other than a little ride up and down the street, this would be it's initial cruze, a club ride on a brisk, Southern...

I found at least a temporary solution to the water bottle issue. 38BE90F8-8704-4A1D-B66E-D64973600B8D by Mark B posted Nov 9, 2018 at 8:36 AM. They are aluminum and have a rubber coating already on them. A Home Depot item, they are normally used for routing electrical wires, I believe. I have...

My original S 1.0 frame was drop-shipped from Taiwan. Mark

One thing I learned this build on threading cable housing through the frame. I was struggling to get it done and finally fished some mechanics wire through first. I started at the head tube end and fed the wire through. A strong magnet at the mid frame exit hole brought the wire through like...

Thank you for your reply, woodguy! I sent them an email yesterday, but haven't heard anything back. I will probably try shortening my TFT a little and in effect, raise my bottom bracket some. I haven't really even ridden the bike but maybe a mile, so I really need to just calm down and focus...

I thought about that. Do they have longer chain stays available?

Nice! Kind of reminiscent of a Pedersen Saddle. I think your seat height could be lower. I can't imagine you needing much give. Mark

Thanks! Yes, I'm 6' 190. Just my legs tough the bottle, but that, in turn can affect steering. In my mind, anyway. The bottle will go somewhere else. I looked at your underseat modification and I'm working on something like that. If worse comes to worse, I will do that short term, but I do...

Right? Now, I wish I had maybe given a little harder look at a V. With the condition of our roads and craziness of our traffic, I was concerned about my vision. Also... I wear bifocals, so that sort of inclination does not mix well with them. OR, so I thought. Like I said, I think it will...

Things I know and things I think I know. S40 edition. AKA Grumpy Curmudgeon edition. My ride is complete! IMG_9120 by Mark B posted Nov 5, 2018 at 5:09 AM This build fought me a lot more than some builds. Much of it was my own fault and I freely admit that. Still, it was a bit...
