Hi John, Any chance of posting a Vendetta package photo layout like the one you did for the new Silvio? -Eric

I strongly suspect the swing I strongly suspect the swing roller feature will make it easier to ride a CruzBike as opposed to a regular set of rollers but I can't really articulate well why I think so. I found the Tacx Galaxia on Amazon for $299...

What did you select for your What did you select for your groupset and wheels? I've been trying to learn more about gearing options so I can figure out what components I want to use. I'm leaning toward the SRAM Rival 53-39 double with one of their 11-32 Raod cassettes or maybe one of the 11-34...

@ak-tux What inputs did you use? @ak-tux What inputs did you use for your last post for wheel size and crank lenth? -Eric

That is a nice swing roller design Thanks Neil, I actually appreciate your find more for the state-of-the-art update for swing rollers. The last time I checked them out they were much less refined and a lot more expensive and pretty much forgot about them until you reminded me. The...

@ak-tux, Yes I was experiencing tunnel vision @ ak-tux, Yes I was experiencing tunnel vision assuming you could not mix and match between the different product lines. I'm glad you pointed it out as it gives me more options than I thought I had. I also got my low-end information wrong...

Gain ratio and RPM to MPH comparison Using the Sheldon Brown Gear Calculator to plug in my desired SRAM Rival configuration and then my current MTB DF configuration, which wasn't what I thought it was BTW, I came up with this Gear Ratio (GR) comparison. Since I know what my riding is like on...

I'll be over at Sheldon Brown's.... Hmmm, I have more to learn about interchangeability of bike components. If you don't hear from me for a while come rescue me from Sheldon Brown's as I may have gotten lost... -Eric

I am more interested in a I am more interested in a full-size front ring, hence 53/39, as I seem to be a strong hill climber and don't have much problem with a 10% grade using my current 52T ring triple. My thinking is the 11-32 cassette will give me the best match for what I think I can do on...

Are you still running the Are you still running the 53/39 and 11/32 SRAM gearing on your Silvio? I am considering ordering a Silvio and fitting it with SRAM RIVAL using this combination with 165mm cranks. I only have short hills nearby but might encounter bigger and longer hills somewhere...

Knowing what you do now about Knowing what you do now about the differences between the Silvio and Vendetta, which would you choose? Assume you wanted to do a particular type of riding but you could afford only one and you weren't interested in trying to sell and upgrade later. If the Silvio...

Silvio is sweet! But I am short and fit was a struggle First - riding the Silvio is so freaking much fun! My face hurts because I've been grinning so hard for the last couple of hours. I just checked out a used Silvio v1.0. First time on a recumbent, first time on a Cruzbike. Gorgeous...

Randonneuring sounds like fun Randonneuring sounds like fun. I would enjoy hearing more about which Cruzbike you used and what issues you encountered with the model you rode and what some of the routes are like, the time it took for the distances you rode, and what you like about it. The...

A curved boom update for the A curved boom update for the conversion kit like the current Silvio and Vendetta would be nice... I like the way Doug turned that conversion out too. A Tiara frame with carbon fiber swing arm and milled bushing adapter from this post, right...

Is the black seat assembly Is the black seat assembly the indicator of the most current version? A yellow seat a version 1? That seems to be what Jim Parker was indicating in the one video discussing the line-up of Vendettas Thanks ak-tux, I did see fthills post but was trying to learn how...
