Seat assembly gotcha In general, the Velcro attachment method for the seat is working very well but I did run into a gotcha with the seat. I now have 126+ miles on my Vendetta. Three times, perhaps four I had stopped in too high a gear without really recognizing this fact and was...

In-frame Headrest The in-frame headrest and end plug installed. This is a little bit tricky to get into place but not too bad. You can see the wide rubber strap in the third hole from the top. This is where the little scissor jack clamp is located. The rubber strap (recycled innertube?)...

Hi Jim, I think you will find Hi Jim, I think you will find the Vendetta likes to drop others. It is a beast that hungers for the thrill of victory - you have been warned! :-) -Eric

If you've never seen a Quest If you've never seen a Quest I bet this looks understandable but still a little mysterious. If you have a Quest, this is a marvelous write-up and is extremely helpful. Jeff, as an industry insider, what is your experience with tire inflation when transporting a...

Hi Jeff, Your mirrors look Hi Jeff, Your mirrors look fine but how do you ride sideways like that? :-) -Eric

No clue, that is just a video No clue, that is just a video I found when I searched for <i>Challenge Jester</i> to see what one looked like. -Eric

The 29th Michigan HPV Rally is May 18-19, 2013, at the Waterford Hills sports car racing track on the Oakland County Sportsmen's Club grounds in Clarkston, MI which is near Pontiac, MI - or about 30 miles from me. I'm planning to go and see what the Vendetta and I can do in the...

Andrew, come on over now and Andrew, come on over now and ride the Vendetta! -Eric

You sir, are fast on that thing OK, I gotta share this. I did a 22 mile ride this morning and then again for 23 miles this evening. I was trying to heed Carl's advice about cross chaining so I was practicing with my SRAM DoubleTaps (brifters) which are new to me. I used some once before last...

This blew me away. I rode my little short 13 mile loop around Kent Lake that includes about a mile of hill climbing with some stretches purportedly in excess of an 8% grade. A big chunk of this ride is along park MUPs so I decided to try and ride slow and concentrate on slow speed handling...

Reclined on my Vendetta Silvio will be more upright than this but I think Lisa and I are somewhere near the same height and xseam. This is also posted toward the end of my Vendetta 2.0 unboxing and build thread. Here is my skinny son, he and I are about the same height...

Misc build photos Front triangle with slider and handlebars separated: Steerer tube spacers and top cap. Changing the order of assembly lets you fine tune the height of the Vendetta's attack angle so to speak. I started with the pivot clamp at the bottom with the three spacers on...

Same HF main tube as the Same HF main tube as the Vendetta but with less recline due to how the headset and seat stays are welded on. Seat pans are attached to the frame with velcro which so far is working really well while riding. Same headrest now on the new Silvio as on the new...

Vendetta 2.0 Walk Around Video Here you go Andrew and friends. This is unedited video of my new Vendetta. See my editorial comments over on the View it on YouTube mode for some corrections and clarifications where my mouth got ahead of my brain: -Eric

Gearing with a Road-MTB mix and a gotcha Lisa: Not yet! John got it right when he says the Vendetta will get better performance at a lower levels of effort. I've already beaten two of my hill climb segments and my data shows my heart rate was lower while being quite a bit faster. And...

Shazam! These Vendettas Shazam! These Vendettas really can climb! I Just got done doing 5 short shakedown runs to see how this thing feels. Oh man does this thing have legs or what! I'm telling you she climbs, she runs like a cheetah, handles as sweet as can be. I really, really love...
