You got it Rick... Women are strange indeed! Diamond? ... Bike? ... Diamond? ... Bike? ... Ok - Diamond.. Really?? For me - Diamond sounds too much like Diamond Frame.. DF = Pain.. Ouch.. just saying. Well - I know what my answer is.. :) ... Just to make no mistake - I am weird to my wife too. I...

Yeah - wish it wasn't so expensive to fly with a bike these days, or definitely would bring mine on my next visit out West. One good thing to looking forward to retirement - Just ride around the country and meet everyone from the forum! Of course, when will that EVER happen! o_O

btw - I really love the way the "quote" thing works on this forum! Just select what you want to quote and click reply - Very sweet!

Thanks Bob! I do keep working on my power, and I think it is easier indoors on the KICKR than outdoors due to the constant load you can put on your body. I think I'm up 20% from last fall. Just about halfway towards my goal FTP. Yeah, it's actually the crazies that run stop-lights and stop...

I just use a tree!

I have only noticed numb feet when riding in sub freezing weather, or when my shoes where too tight. Everyone is probably different in that regard and you just have to learn what you can tolerate. Here's my ride with my slow wheelset. :) But I like them cause they are color coordinated.

Good idea Rick. Per Assault on Mount Mitchell ride. I believe Jim and Maria Parker are going to be there as well as Ben Tomlin and hopefully Charlie Ollinger will also make it down. That might make a Gaggle of Vendetta's (5 minimum required for Gaggle I think!) :D

Yes - come join us - we could have a Cruzbike rally!

I use them a could definitely tell a difference after I installed them. I did not have any power meter at the time to take scientific readings. I do have a set of the newer XQL Q-rings and will hopefully be getting around to testing them against the "regular" version on different slopes. At that...

Great job Bob! A lot of work - but nice result. For me: I think I'll just keep riding indoors in virtual reality - then I don't have to worry about lights, or rain, or cars, or trucks.... :)

I have only been riding Cruzbike FWD MMB since last June, and this was also my first recumbent. I am saying this upfront, as I do not have a long history with them or will be able to compare the FWD MBB with a rear with drive. However I do live in the mountains of NC and have probably logged...

You can also buy the wife a Cruzbike first, and then after she is suitably impressed she will insist that you get one too.

Kline, My power testing comparing the output to pedals between the Silvio and Vendetta was on a 1/2 oval track. Silvio one day, Vendetta 3 days later. Similar weather wind and fitness level on my account Based on my experience with both bikes, I still like the Vendetta better. Per my data it...

Great info. I was just reading up on rwgps turn by turn availability. It looks really great from the youtube demos I saw. I will heaving to Calvins Challenge in 3 weeks and their 50 miles loops looks like it has about 44 turns. Lots of reports of folks getting lost last year and previous. I wish...

Where you riding full discs Rick? I guess the rule is - always be attentive! You never know what is going to happen. The only thing you know is that the faster you are going, the faster "it" it will happen.

I did not really notice that there was better handling with the stabalizer and the disks. But, half of my O-rings had actually broken by the time Sebring came around and I never replaced them. I need to get UV resistant O-rings so they don't deteriorate so quickly and brake. In any event: I was...

I am 5'7" and the Silvio fit me great. I could actually push more power to the pedals due to the 28 degree hip anglea than I can with the 20 degree of the Vendett. You will probably want a chain-stay extension however, depending on the rest of your body measurements. Good Luck.

Yes, I have Garmin Vector pedals and am very happy with them. I really like that I can move them to any bike rather quickly. I have adopted to the look pedals system nicely so that is not a real problem for me either. I really wanted left-right data since I had major knee reconstruction a while...

Ratz - Is that a car I see in your garage? I thought it was only for bicycles? :)

That is a sweet looking ride!
