But of course... Hi John, The odds of you exhausing the stock of the 451 v2 and 559 v2 and exactly the same time seem kind of small. It makes perfect sense to me that there would be such a transition period. :D Cheers, Charles

Well, hmmph. again. I'm going Well, hmmph. again. I'm going to guess that the Quest 3 451 is really the left over Quest 2 451... Dunno. Good question. O.k. As I'm clearly not adding anything of substance to this conversation, bye bye. :D

Well, hmmph. I'm assuming Well, hmmph. I'm assuming that none of the Quest 3s have front suspension. That being said, on the Quest 3.0 page, it still lists extra stiff spring for the fork...

The importance of weight is And the weight and average speed of the rider. Throwing an extra two pounds doesn't bother me much, but Maria might notice it. And somebody who has an average speed of 20 mph will benefit more from the aero effects than, say, me. :D For RAAM, it makes...

Hi, I highly recommend Kim's Hi, I highly recommend Kim's videos (that he posted above). Watch them now and then watch them before getting the bike. I spent 30 minutes in my (very long) driveway and then I was ready for (very quiet) roads. I have a unsubstantiated theory that says...

Thanks for the heads-up, Thanks for the heads-up, Jeff.

Most clubs group riders by Most clubs group riders by average speed. This works well enough in most cases, but not so well for me: I find that there's a large mismatch between my speeds and that of DF with the same average. I'm slower climbing the hills and then I'm stuck at the back of...

I belive Eric used a long I belive Eric used a long cage MTB rear derailleur on his Vendetta so he could get an 11/36 on it. There's no reason WiFLi wouldn't work That being said, I think you guys are all nuts for not putting on triples. Either the hills in my area (or my aero-belly) is...

Hi Jeff, I probably should Hi Jeff, I probably should have suggested the slightly more expensive bottom bracket - if I had to do it again, I'd do that too (although I've had zero problems with the one I got). Glad it worked out for you. :D Cheers, Charles

Hi, I'd definitely recommend Hi, I'd definitely recommend posting this over at 'Bent Riders Online, too. If you could figure out how to support a head-tube in aluminum, you could also make a aluminum-only version as well that would probably be lighter. As it is, I wonder if the wood...

Given that the chain always Given that the chain always falls of on the inside, you coud try an N-Gear Jumpstop. I use these on both of my Cruzbikes (because my granny gear is so much smaler than my middle gear). You can adjust it so that is right up to the chain but doesn't touch it when...

Cruzbike company head Cruzbike company head quarters are in the US, so yes. There are several bike shops that sell cruzbikes as well.

Hi CS, I don't see any reason Hi CS, I don't see any reason why they'd be bad (and I can understand not wanting to stab people with the large chain ring). I had one on my Sofrider until I, err, well, fell over into the dirt and it cracked (mine was plastic).

One solution is put put on a One solution is put put on a front derailleur and use the limit screws to just leave it in the right place. You'd want a 34.9mm clamp-on FD.

Talk about thinking outside Talk about thinking outside of the (wooden) box... Nicely done. :D

Keep it up! On both of my Keep it up! On both of my Cruzbikes I use this adjustable stem. It might give you just enough room for your knees (I don't disagree at all that another shape of handlebar might work a lot better for you, too).

I don't see any reason why I don't see any reason why the front shouldn't convert just fine. You can even imagine putting on a second Cruzbike seat in the back and having the stoker use the original crankset for the pilot. I'm not convinced that would work, but it might (and it would be...

John Morciglio has also build John Morciglio has also build MBB bikes (see this thread). John (M.) and John (T.) disagree on the headtube angle for MBB bikes, but have both created fantastic machines. John M. also makes carbon guitars.

Salut Laurent, C'est Salut Laurent, C'est fantastique! I've seen other Sofriders eletrified before. It makes sense to me because you can electrify the rear wheel and not have to worry about interference with the human powered drive train. And I am not good at starting on steep hills...
