    Just hope you don't get prarie dogs in your front yard. :roll: I agree and hate to admit they are a pretty forward thinking city. I really, really hate to admit it and in fact, have friends from Colorado I would NEVER admit that to. :lol: :lol: As a college football fan and native of...

    Poor Man's Silvio?

    You be the judge. Trek Mountaintrack 220, kids's rigid mountain bike. It originally had 24" wheels. I bought the bike brand new for my oldest daughter years ago. I've always kind of thought it would make a good recumbent.... I originally thought I would weld a boom onto the headtube for a...

    Bravo, Jamie! Nice job! I hate to break the news to you, but they haven't changed that sticker... Mine isn't even one of the first twelve.

    Thanks, Doug. Yeah, I scoured Chucks site and looked over e-bay. Problem is $$$ right now. :roll: You know, this stuff never happens when you're flush, right? ;) I'll just rebuild, for now and when I get a little cash on hand, I'll pop for a set. I'll probably have a set built. I'm kind...

    Bummer

    I've got no loose spokes, let alone broken ones, so I don't know... I could be a piece of flashing from the manufacture of the wheel, or something that broke loose. I hate that rim, though, so the idea of replacing it is not killing me in that regard. It's one of those rims that no tire...

    Bummer

    I rushed home tonight to take a look at my bike in an effort to help Jamie(Brewmaster) out. First, I noticed my front tire was flat. While that was not big deal, I noticed a weird sound in my rear wheel. After I fixed the flat, I took the rear wheel out. The sound was inside the rim. It...

    I just remember having the same brain fart moment on the first assembly. Just let it set for a couple hours and I'll call you this evening. You might be right, or you might be having that same brain fart moment. Mark

    It's here! And I need some help!

    Something is not right. Wait until I get home and can look at mine. Don't do anything rash. PM me your phone number and I'll give you a call and help walk you through it. You're missing a bole and the boot for the elastomer. John T will help you out there. The carbon ends can be assembled...

    scroll to the bottom of page 4 http://www.cruzbike.com/SilvioTechnicalSummary.pdf It recesses into the carboyoke end adapter thingy and sandwiches up against the fork. The skewer compresses it all together. Once it goes together, you'll have one of those "D'oh" moments. Keep in mind, the...

    You can put a triple on it, but you need to specify the alternate boom when you place your order. Mark

    Best Question Yet

    Tonight, on my commute ride home from work, I passed a kid on a skateboard. I cruised up to a stoplight and while sitting there waiting for it to change, the kid rolls up and asks, "Is that bike street legal!??!" :lol: :lol: I said, "Yes, but it shouldn't be!" :twisted: Mark

    SRAM Red Silvio by Levendis

    Dude! I totally love Road Morphs! I wouldn't use any other pump. I used CO2 for awhile, but ended up going back to a pump. I agree with your statements on Levs pics.... Nice! Mark

    You pretty much summed it up, John. There are some real opinionated asses on that board, one which is quite vocal putting Cruzbikes down based on his crappy homebuilt FWDs he tried to ride. Mark

    I think the more opportunities we can have to interest people in Cruzbikes, the better. We seem to get bloodied on BROL, despite what Bryan says. Mark

    Here's an alternative to BROL. It's kind of new, so not too many posting, yet. I've been bragging up Cruzbikes a little. It seems a little more non-denominational than BROL and no collection plate being passed! Here's the LINKY. Mark

    Nice People

    The bottom line is, though; these cretins are in the minority of automobile drivers. It's rare that you will encounter one of these a$$es and most mean you no real harm. Most are probably jealous they don't have the time, or more likely, the ambition to take on the challenges we do with our...
