How much did you trim off How much did you trim off your slider? It looks like yours is further inside the boom than mine. You ordered the medium frame? As you ride it, I recommend you take a sharper and draw a line on the top of the slider for where you have it fitted. I've found...

Nope. Antigravity device is Nope. Antigravity device is still powered on.

The Quest has BB5s and I The Quest has BB5s and I could adjust them with no rub and very, very short lever action. I followed the advice of others and used a business card between the brake pad and the disk when setting them up which took care of both the rub and made the lever action very...

Hi Buddy, You will want to Hi Buddy, You will want to take off both the seat cushions and the seat pans to transport the Vendetta outside your vehicle unless you come up with some method of bolting BOTH seat halves onto the frame. Otherwise the wind will separate cushions and/or seat from...

The newcomer (me) ended up The newcomer (me) ended up placing 3rd place overall for the stock class based on total points which included $10 prize money! If you click the online results above you can see the updated results. I managed to do 33.162mph in the 200 foot sprint even though...

Sorry Jim, coudn't resist. So Sorry Jim, coudn't resist. So where did your source your road disc wheelset from? I had been thinking about disc brakes but haven't bothered yet since I had already bought the Rival road brakes. Did you run into any fitment issues with the discs or did...

Hmmm, based on those pictures Hmmm, based on those pictures your fast speeds look like they are due at least somewhat to the antigravity effect in your neighborhood. :-) -Eric

First, the Vendetta was the First, the Vendetta was the center of attention for a lot of people. Everyone that came to check it out were tossing a lot of superlatives around. I spent about 45 minutes chatting with John Morciglio and he was also very impressed despite having become anti-MBB. He...

See my post about the 29th See my post about the 29th MHPVA Rally this weekend where I am going to see what I can do with my new Vendetta. I'll provide a race report in my original post at the end of the weekend to let everyone know how it went. -Eric

And a ride report mister +1 to these comments And you seriously need to post a ride report or two mister! Especially after all of your pining for a Silvio. :-) -Eric

I dunno Jake, my first I dunno Jake, my first experience riding a Cruzbike was the Silvio , then the Quest, and now the Vendetta. I found controlling pedal steer easier on the Silvio and Vendetta. I think it is something about the moment of inertia with how that straight boom comes back...

I went for a ride this morning with some pretty strong winds (20+ mph and gusting higher) and discovered John has also designed in a musical crosswind detector for the Vendetta. When the wind blows crossways through the pivot cage with the pivot pin holes you get a sound similar to blowing...

II too like to really crank it downhill Hi Blair, I too like to really crank it downhill and have not found this to be an issue for me on either the Quest or the Vendetta. I can certainly understand the issue that people experience as you can feel what they are talking about the first...

Way to go Dan! But I prefer Way to go Dan! But I prefer peanut butter, mayonnaise, and sweet pickles. Tastes really good. Never had it with tuna. Glad you didn't get pushed over the guardrail. I looked at Google street view mode in your Ride With GPS link and clicked through part of your...

One thing I meant to mention One thing I meant to mention about Arnold's Raptobike Mid Racer is that the main tube has a sliding joint under the seat. NOTE: His Low Racer uses a sliding front boom and doesn't share these advantages. Two advantages over other FWD stick twisters (say that 3...

Yep, I have a folder too but Yep, I have a folder too but unlike Charles' Cruzigami, it doesn't lend itself to being converted to a Cruzbike. This is a Mobiky Genius with 12 inch wheels and a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub. Disc brake in front with a band break or some such...

Visibility from the cockpit Visibility from the cockpit so-to-speak is much better for the Silvio and Vendetta than the Quest with the Quest seatback reclined way back. What I'm generally finding on my Vendetta is that unless I'm at a weird angle to traffic I just raise my head a little...

FWD with fixed bottom bracket FWD with fixed bottom bracket (FBB) achieved by allowing the chain to twist. Chain routing is controlled by idlers. Cruzbike includes the bottom bracket in with the steering triangle of fork, boom, and chainstays resulting in a moving bottom bracket (MBB) FWD...

Great job Jim.  You'll like Great job Jim. You'll like it much better with clipless pedals. The V has much lighter steering than the Q. Keep us posted on your impressions. I did NOT ride this weekend. High today was 51F briefly, mostly low 40s and blowing like stink. Low tonight is...
