I expressed interest a very I expressed interest a very similar frame and it was explained to me why that styple does not make a good conversion candidate. But I'm with Charles; I'd have to at least try it to see why or why it wouldn't work for myself. It wouldn't take you more than a half-hour...

"This is a generational change." John, I had a Sofrider in my posession for about two weeks and there was no shortage of young keeds, pre-teen and older who wanted to ride it. I think if a simplified version could be made avaialble for retail sale, this could be marketed to the youth...

Nice bag, Beautiful Bike Everytime I see a Vendetta, I am taken back by how beautiful it is.

Front Brake on Right I followed this practice when I was riding fixed-gear bikes with only a front caliper. It was helpful to have a useful to have the left hand free for signaling while being able to brake. I'm not sure why in the US front and rear control is reversed.

To Charles: "I'm not terribly surprised, but I am glad that you tried without any incident. When I become emperor of the universe, I'll mandate disc brakes on all bicycles." You're probably aware of Volagi and now Colnago offering a disc-brake road bike. It's only a matter of time until...

Some great insight and no Lance Bashing That is exactly what I knew I would hear. I believe that those of us on this forum have a different view of the situation as opposed to thoseclad in lycra upon their skinny upright bikes. I would love to see advancements in pro cycling to allow the...

It's not just you. There are quite a few issues I've been having also.

My longest Cruzbike My longest Cruzbike experience was on a Sofrider and I found that my tendency was to over-grip the handlbar leading to fatigue and pain the forearms while not lending anything to smooth, fluid control of the bike. Does the same open-palm approach work across the range...

Old dog, new trick Charles, I come from the school of assemble first, read directions later .

I must have a sickness... I've looked at John's photos of the new Silvio enough that I am certain I could assemble it without instructions now.

Would have loved to have been there! What an amazing feat and perfomance! Way to go!!!

The frame has a new home. Hopefully it makes a good donor project :-)

I don't train, but I do ride with a HRM I am on medication that greatly slows my heart rate to as low as 44bpm resting. If I get much above 89bpm I am maxed out, so it's important for me to monitor myself closely.

David Lee Roth Called... ...and he wants his pants back. Just kidding. Nice to see a pic of the Di2 setup. I've ridden it and while it works, I am still ok with with the typical mechanical method of cables and shifters. Of course I have 7 speed down tube shifters on my bike, so I may be a bit...

HOLY SPOKE STRESS, BATMAN! I guess that's how a wheel built on a Rohloff hub is supposed to look, but I just can't get past the the bends in the spokes. I'm interested in hearing your rider report.

EDIT The guy was on a P-38...

The P-38 is Known to Be a Great Climber This speaks volumes of the Cruzbike Sofrider as the P-38 is known to be a GREAT climing recumbent. My personal experience was riding the "Dirty Dozen" in Pittsburgh, PA with a guy who could outclimb many of the upright cyclists.

Like SRAM WiFli? Regarding the previous post. This set-up seems similar to the SRAM WiFli set-up, however WiFli handles a maximum 32T cog. I'm interested in the set up you're talking about. Can you be specific onwhich components pair best?

If it is a brifter issue, may If it is a brifter issue, may I recommend MicroSHIFT? I have used these extensively and found they work great at a price point much lover than Shimano. Of course, you do have newer Ultegra and I can understand wanting to keep with what you have. If you wish, I...

Cable Stop Pardon my ignorance, but where is the front derailleur cable stop? That was the frst thing that caught my eye is that there doesn't appear to be a stop for the cable housing to compress against as the cable is pulled taut. Surely there is a stop, but where is it? Also the cable...
