Hi Ken, Nice idea (and thanks Hi Ken, Nice idea (and thanks for the pictures). I'm just a little worried that if you make your bike too comfortable, you'll fall asleep while riding... :D Cheers, Charles

Hi Randy, For what it's Hi Randy, For what it's worth, I didn't like the twist shifters either. I don't like them in general and I find they got in the way when I pulled up on the handlebars (meaning, I accidentally shifted gears a lot like this). I bought a set of SRAM X.4 trigger...

Hi Randy, That is good news Hi Randy, That is good news all around. I think if people come into learning how to ride a Cruzbike with (1) this is going to be weird and different at first and (2) I'll get it eventually, then things will go well. And since her first lesson was gliding...

Hi, It's been an interesting few weeks (from my accidental upgrade to Sandy and the recovery). Enjoy. Cheers, Charles

Hi, In general, I think Hi, In general, I think you're good to go: * I looked at the Quest pictures (never seen one in person) and I don't see anything that would interfere with a 34T cassette. * I believe that, in general, SRAM and Shimano cassettes are compatible with each...

Hi Randy, Just get a Hi Randy, Just get a different stem that let's you put whatever handlebars on that your wife likes. Cheers, Charles

You're right. That is both You're right. That is both weird and cool. :D

HI Bob, For what it's worth, HI Bob, For what it's worth, the Silvio still has the rider fairly upright (at least compared to the Vendetta). To me, this suggests that a fairing (and socking) make sense. I know people have put fairings on Sofriders and Quests (and they basically have the...

Here's a link to a french Here's a link to a french forum that talks about a moquito velomobile. It is a FWD trike (although it is not a MBB because the steering/leaning is done with the rear wheels). Quite cool. :D

Hi, For what it's worth, I Hi, For what it's worth, I find pedaling up a small incline the easiest as far as no hands. I've gone 1/10 of a mile (160m), so it looks to me that you're ahead of me. It used to be that I was best off keeping my hands just over the handlebars. Not so much...

Thanks DefJack! Thanks DefJack!

Hi Steve, Nicely done!  And Hi Steve, Nicely done! And thanks for the pictures. :D Charles

Thanks!  That does help a Thanks! That does help a lot. It means that buying one (because it wasn't included with my used kit) is the right thing to do. :D Thanks for all of your help! Charles

Living without power isn't Living without power isn't horrible, mostly just a little annoying. The two concerns are (1) basement flooding since sump pump won't run without electricity and (2) losing food in refrigerator/freezer. Luckily it isn't too cold outside. Cheers, Charles

Hi Hilry, You're absolutely Hi Hilry, You're absolutely right about the pictures but I've got no power at home right now due to Sandy, so that's going to have to wait (we're fine otherwise!). I very much like your quill to ahead adapter idea. My fallback position was to be to saw an...

Hi, It's a threaded fork on Hi, It's a threaded fork on the Downtube where the stem attached to the handlebars goes inside the for steerer tube. Mentioning the Sofrider instructions was a good idea (and I even have a Sofrider to look at), but the Sofrider is unthreaded, so I'm still...

Hi, I purchased a used conversion kit that didn't come with instructions. Are there other instructions besides the parts list that is on the conversion kit page What I am puzzled about is the steerer extention tube. When I take the old stem out of the suspension fork on the Downtube...

I think I am past the point I think I am past the point of needing to look like a TdF wannabe with a full matching race kit. It's okay, Andrew. Your a MAMIL* and we accept you here with open arms. :) * MAMIL - Middle Age Man in Latex (where I may be stretching Middle Age a bit)

For visibility, don't forget For visibility, don't forget head and tail lights, too. I've got a headlight, a tail light on my trunk back and a tail light on my helmet. You can buy glow-in-the-dark paint. I've thought about painting a bike with that stuff, too. :D

Hi John, More seriously than Hi John, More seriously than my previous post (not that red isn't fast): I do understand your point about having a lot of stock with the wrong color. Maybe it would make sense to make both yellow Vendettas and nude Vendettas*. You could even offer to get...
