    It was a wonderful ride

    ahhhh honest, I went out not to race today. Naaaaaa it was great! Why was it so great? Weather perfect, Roads quiet and not so hot as the sun has only just got up. So no peloton's today except some guy on some very light carbon bike that I caught up with and overtook. He had to work awfully hard...

    Vendetta vs others

    I went past other bikes yesterday. Some were very expensive, carbon DF's with carbon wheels. LOL. I went past the first peloton yesterday. I caught up with a peloton of 12 riders... changed down a gear for the tow... got a tow... the last rider must have had a mirror as it wasn't long before he...

    1st century - longest ride ever

    The two under the seat... which size was this (Adem are offering two different sizes S & M? I had a look on the V and the carbon seat is edged somewhat... perhaps half an inch either side. Did you have to get rid of the edges of the seat to fit the carbon seat bottle cage mount assembly ?

    It was a wonderful ride

    Something Ratz said a while back with disc covers stayed with me. I have decided to try them. If going up mountains, guess you would need everything really light as you aren't really going to be that fast so you wont get any aero assistance ... down the mountain is a different matter.

    It was a wonderful ride

    I know some of you have many different wheels to choose from. I am thinking of changing my rear wheel for something light, Aero, TT. Preferably carbon with a the words CRUZBIKE on it. Guess Larry might have some ideas on that? I have decided to keep the big gears for a bit as I am having more...

    Did I buy the right bike? I think so. Help me make sure

    Haaaa, there's nothing quite like getting clipped in and taking your first hill. You think best not stop now otherwise the hill start will be an issue. And then when you get over the crest of the hill, the V takes off like an express train (and you are still clipped in). Just enjoy the ride...

    Are Vendetta's really fast or what??????

    Two rides ago, just turned down the ramp and saw in my mirror a great big truck. The road narrow and the road goes from smooth to rough with on coming traffic. Not a nice position to be in. There was a foot of clearance when the truck past me. And I was vibrating like a jelly. I have 28 mm tyres...

    It was a wonderful ride

    I have a 57cm size head so with the giro sizing that will be medium. Or should I go for the larger size to get more air underneath the helmet?

    Are Vendetta's really fast or what??????

    I was riding a road bike in Florida and had the pleasure of meeting a deer on the cycle path. It was a 30mile straight as a dye cycle path (disused train track converted), the deer saw me coming and just jumped straight over the fence. If I was coming down a mountain at 54mph , it would freak me...

    It was a wonderful ride

    Hey, I have been playing around with these Jabra sport heart rate earphones... I think I have been kidding myself that I have had a workout on the bike. I must be healthier than I thought - thanks to cruzbike. Just love how the V with its 20degree seat exercises the abs. Much more than a...

He doesn't think he has any limits (something that we both share) so we have a great time. It was 26c , which is 78.8f. My brother is a gadget freak always...

    jon's v2 the second last yella story

    I am very pleased I bought one of the last v2s. I prefer the yellow and love the chrome. I think the name would have to be Pegasus as she seems to fly along without much effort - even against the wind.

    It was a wonderful ride

    Well the prototype cat ears is better than nothing. Just have to wait for the cat ears to get to me. I had a good ride today. I enjoyed it. The wind got up so it was a bit of a struggle for all of us. Especially those roadies who tried to keep up with me. Gee that roadie was really going for it...
