    Converting a T50 to a road bar and controls.

    What would you do?

    See https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/rear-rack-for-s30-for-a-trunk-bag.11924/page-2#post-153165 for @super slim Silvio with 26" wheels. Seems like a good idea to me. Lower seat height is definitely easier, especially when learning.

    What would you do?

    There were a several iterations of the S30. Technically the Silvio and S30 versions could be taken apart and packed into airline luggage (barely). Here are the differences that I can think of: Silvio 1: (the original performance Cruzbike) -welded frame -straight road components -straight...

    What would you do?

    Maybe it is just me but it feels like we are getting closer to a critical mass at which point recumbents and Cruzbikes in particular will be common enough that the organized rides will start to actively recruit them and they will be common enough that there won't be any reluctance to try out a...

    Learning to Ride a Vendetta question?

    @Andrew Wilson Nudge. (Pushing you in the right direction. I suppose that is whichever way you end up choosing but you know which way we are all pulling, pushing, rooting for you.)

    The International Tribe - Aren't we a bit quiet?

    @ak-tux Let me twist words for a while: You have helped and encouraged many cruzbikers and I dare say even had positive impact on Cruzbike sales so how I see it you ride a real cruzbike, just like John Tolhurst before he started the company. Your bike doesn't have a Cruzbike paint job and the...

    What's wrong with this picture :(

    @3bs it looks like your seat might still have the masking tape on the back side on the rib that has the size, weight, and model written on it.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    So many beautiful wheels that you could make an Olympic symbol with them. :D

    Can we get smaller frames and wheels?

    @3bs Thank you for taking the time to test and sharing your experience. Would you have achieved the same results with both 406 wheels I wonder? Nice looking bike too, love the green grips.

    Cruzbike mis-adventures

    Glad to see reports of you riding. Sorry to hear of all the delays. Wishing you an accelerated healing both of the body and of the Cruzbike - One Whole unit.

    Can we get smaller frames and wheels?

    @Opik, https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/quest-qr-for-sale-600.12842/ Pick up some smaller wheels and tires - your choice on size (451 were used on some quests but you could probably go smaller, some recumbents have down to 16" wheels) trim down the boom/stem extension if necessary and voila...

    First ‘real’ ride outside on the S40

    How true! Winter trainer riding is giving me some leg muscles and air too as I am used to doing only a short commute. It is paying off dividends on the "Paris 2 Ancaster" cyclocross ride I will be riding later this month (not on the Cruzbike - too much mud). I am still noticing better balance...

    GONE - Silvio - $800 - Rockmart, Georgia

    Anyone know what those pedals are? The add is titled "Cruzbike Silvio - Wanted - by owner - Sale" whatever that means.

    Can we get smaller frames and wheels?

    You too could spend (waste) money on training wheels but why would you. Cruzbike is the answer. Below is just a gimmick - fun though it may be I'd rather put the 700$ towards the next Cruzbike. https://www.highrollerusa.com Notice the safety devices. Knee pads, elbow pads, and a Nutcase...

    Rear Rack for S30 for a trunk bag

    @super slim Those tires look wider than I thought was possible on the Silvios? What are you running for wheels/tires etc.? Do you have a build thread easily accessible?
