Whatever you do, don't drop Well Charles, they dared do it.

p.s.  I wonder how badly John Ha.

I would not have I would not have considered putting the money into a Silvio without first buying and learning on a Sofrider. Not all of us are prepared to build up a conversion kit (and not all conversions perform well since they lack John's design refinements). I think dropping the "cheap"...

Hi Steve, which model Hi Steve, which model Vendetta is that? I think the geometry has changed on the most recent model.

Getting off topic, but I have Getting off topic, but I have to agree with Rizwan/Shahmatt about the product photos (and his other comments on the product pages as well). The emphasis on detail shots has had me scratching my head for a while. That includes some of Ivan's Silvio photos where he...

It seems like pricing the It seems like pricing the Vendetta above other Cruzbikes enhances its prestige. Stripped down sports cars from premium brands cost extra, because they offer more performance. That said, I am not interested in buying a Vendetta because I don't prioritize absolute speed...

It looks like the It looks like the Cruzbike doesn't offer component bundles anymore? I'm not seeing any options to order component packs on the Silvio and Vendetta pages.

Not sure if I'm the only one, Not sure if I'm the only one, but I've been having issues with my heels striking the chainstay where it flairs out. I'm considering shorter cranks (currently 172.5mm) but a short chainstay extension would be another fix.

Ivan, your century barely fit Ivan, your century barely fit in the island! Congratulations. I hope to try a century someday, but not in 90+ degree heat!

The S is clearly more Jose, would you mind explaining this? I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

3- Fitting the cassette to I had this problem (chain rubbing on the fork). Eventually I put a 1mm spacer just inside the fork.

Ivan, I rode through a gravel Ivan, I rode through a gravel construction area (maybe a couple hundred feet) with 25mm tires and the Silvio was quite stable -- although I was nervous the whole time.

Mark, I remember reading your Mark, I remember reading your enthusiastic posts years ago when I was researching my first Cruzbike (a Sofrider). Welcome back!

Sounds like it is cross Sounds like it is cross threaded or maybe stuck on some debris. The disk came already threaded into my frame. I made the mistake of removing it once, and it took many, many tries to thread it back in without it getting stuck.

My main issue with the build Rick, is the elastomer stuck, or the adjustment disk? If you remove the elastomer can you screw the disk in farther?

Thanks! The barrel adjuster Thanks! The barrel adjuster came with my 2.0... I'm suprised you don't have one. It looks an awful lot like this (found with Google image search):

Agreed, sounds like Agreed, sounds like impressive progress! Riding in traffic can be scary at first but soon you will be riding much straighter and hugging the edge of the lane with no problem.

Kline, yes it is threaded, Kline, yes it is threaded, and yes a barrel adjuster screws in there. The barrel adjuster fits a ferrule and acts as a cable stop.

Hi Matthew, I think you might Hi Matthew, I think you might be on to something with your point (1), my experience with my Silvio at least is that my lower back is more comfortable if I scoot forward/down in the seat a bit. Of course if that doesn't work out your points (2) and (3) sound like...

Hi James, if anything that Hi James, if anything that cable housing looks too long! Cruzbike recommends about 25cm in the instructions. The housing shouldn't have to contact anything at either end, it will be held in place where it bends around the bottom bracket. Here is mine for...
