I personally like the yellow I personally like the yellow color on the Vendetta, but I do think it is holding the Vendetta back somewhat. I mean everybody knows red is faster. :)

Hi, UNC99 is right.  You Hi, UNC99 is right. You can't modify Silvio seat angle much and you can duplicate the same seat angle on the Sofrider/V2/K frame. In fact, playing different tricks, you can get a lower angle on the V2/K frame (curved seatpost) - Steve (on this forum) built his...

HI Steve, If the drugs were HI Steve, If the drugs were safe, then I would like your proposal. But they aren't. Which at the very least implies all sorts of things for sponsorship. Long-story-short: I don't think it would (or, personally, should) fly. I do very much understand your...

@fthills: I can imagine.  I @fthills: I can imagine. I went down a hill (~15%) on my Sofrider that was too narrow, too busy, and too close to a stop sign. I was braking most the way down the hill and still hit 40 mph (~64 kph). I'm fat enough that the difference in weight just doesn't...

@John: Understood. @John: Understood. :)

Pictures? Pictures?

@Jake: I can imagine not @Jake: I can imagine not using the full stem that comes with the conversion, but maybe the default stem. If the rider is short enough, there may be visual problems because of the low seat height...

Hi Bob, If you can get the Hi Bob, If you can get the seat seated firmly on the small horizontal bar, then I think everything will work out. I can't tell from the picture, but that bar doesn't look too wimpy to me and should be plenty but IANAE (I am not an engineer). You won't get...

Hi Bob, To me it looks like Hi Bob, To me it looks like there is a place for the seat, but I don't know how well it will work. I'd recommend just trying to put the seat on before taking anything off the bike. If the seat goes on, it's worth going forward. If not, then you know...

Hi Bob, Sweet!  I do plan on Hi Bob, Sweet! I do plan on doing the ride again next year. And I think the training was more fun than the ride itself. It was certainly more fun than the monster hill (which convinced me to drop my granny from 28T to 22T). What a small world. :) (When I...

HI Bob, You weren't riding a HI Bob, You weren't riding a silver LWB per chance (I'm old and it was a long time ago, so it might not have been silver). At the first rest stop, I was talking to the guy riding the (cat 700?) trike when a guy with a LWB rode up. (I wasn't standing near my...

You'd be grim too if you had You'd be grim too if you had to sit on that saddle all day... *cough cough* (sorry) Yes, John, the youth are our future. Train them well and we will be well off.

Hi Andrew, I don't think I'd Hi Andrew, I don't think I'd trust Armstrong to ride clean, even on recumbents. :) They are effectively different sports. I think road racing needs to morph somewhat, hoping making it a cleaner, safer sport. Maybe that's what we need to do for the...

Hi Stuart, The messages are Hi Stuart, The messages are ordered by the time of the last update. Cheers, Charles

Hi Romagjack, but destroying Hi Romagjack, but destroying past history of the Tour de France (without penalizing all the other riders and teams that broke the rules) is not going to help the sport. I disagree with you here, but I do see and understand your point of view. I think...

Hi, I was very surprised when Hi, I was very surprised when Lance announced he wasn't going to fight. And I didn't (and still don't) think that just because he doesn't fight doesn't make him guilty. I wanted to believe that he was innocent, but I was willing to believe that...

Hi, I'm not terribly Hi, 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. (Well, maybe not all bicycles, but I agree that I'd like to see them as options on all Cruzbikes and...

Hi Bob, Welcome! If you Hi Bob, Welcome! If you haven't done so already (or haven't in a while), I highly recommend looking at "Kim's Viideos" before or even just after your first ride. And if you choose, you can also look at my first experiences on the Sofrider. I had a small...

Hi ocd, Keep riding, and Hi ocd, :D Keep riding, and keep letting us know how it goes. Cheers, Charles

Hi OCD and Andrew, (At some Hi OCD and Andrew, (At some point, OCD, you're going to have to tell me what that stands for because I have enough psychology under my belt that I associate that abbreviation with with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I'm assuming that's not what it stands...
