That makes three Colin also just finished his 700c mod we need to track him down and get some photos. The 2 we've seen so far look great.

Interesting.... Thanks for posting the comparatives Eric... I'm Curious.. How much further is the reach on the cruzbike bars? I hadn't consider the interference on the orientation of the shifters; I've had mine going backwards since the beginning so I never tried that combination to...

It's been 10 days Your update is over-due.

I've played with that stuff Some of the things (not all) that I have played with are documented in my build diary: Specifically for hydration, See this thread and scroll down to posts #4-7 http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?p=1182354&page=2 I don't use the...

Quest on sale. The Quest is definitely a good deal right now. It's just my opinion but the Quest 451 is supremely easy to learn to ride; especially if you put the seat very vertical to start with. If you are 6ft or shortly it's probably the easiest. Then the Softrider, followed by the Quest...

Message me... On our quests those are annoying. They chew up the legs of smaller riders, and we don't need to quickly disassemble the bikes. I'm going to be replacing 4 of those quick releases with bolts once I figure out which parts I need. You are welcome to 1 of the remnants. Drop me a line...

Mark,Never could find Marc, Never could find anything on that myself... but I can share how I approached it. As far as I know the Elastomer basically dampens vibrations. If you hit something big the spring arm is going to bottom out no matter what and you are going to take a jolt. If...

Yes and ... When everyone else is doing 15-25 ; and I'm doing 9 with the trailer, I get to answer all the questions people think up when the kids buzz by them. That range from good indepth ones to the usual; "is that really more comfortable".... This weekend was fun; because we where...

Also Try Practice pedaling with on foot clipped in and the other one waving in the air for balance. I find that useful for starting and for slowing down at intersections; Especially if I forget to downshift and need to at the last second. After about 2-3% I start: 1) foot on the...

Cruz Moose Video Larry, Checkout Hardy's video of him mounting the Cruz Moose with a Slide and Glide technique. This is basically what Kim is describing. It's an obvious technique after you master the bike; but when I first start I never would have thought of it and Hardy has it nailed...

Should have mentiioned That's a small branch from the tree in question. Weather around here is seriously cramping our riding; all my river crossing routes are closed, the "Scenic road" is now the "Scenic River". Everything is muddy; took forever to get the Quest orange again at the end of the...

Sometimes the bike is just the backdrop Misplaced this spring photo.

Get the Quest out of Dodge Finally getting some mud on those Orange Frames Load them up and ready to go. Take a Token Silvio along too.... Tired and muddy time for a snack That lineup stops everyone that walks past. Don't...

Use what works steve that's cool. I was gaufaing at the thought of strap clips, those antiques can kill you. Platform pedals are still great, we keep all our quests with the stock pedals, on our trails clipless would kill you if you used the. while i wouldnt ride bare foot, sandles are nice on...

Check the rings Possible guess #1..... Take the chain rings off and check if they are bent. Do they lay flat on the table or are they warped. If the are bent you get a left and right oscillating motion that can wiggle the crank are loose. Normally you can see it when you look at rotating...

Go Clipless young man.... Ok West is better but.... This is one of the better references for clippless options. http://thebiketube.com/blog/comprehensive-list-top-ten-clipless-bike-pedals ?not bad either http://bikeline.com/buyers-guides/all-about-clipless-pedals-pg273.htm

Strap based clips? Did you just say you use strap based clips? Yikes you are one brave person to try those; I can't get my feet out of those even on a regular bike without killing myself.

For your weather.... For your weather and commuting load, An enduro xd might be worth it http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id332.html The Hope is really nice too. No experience with the Chris King.

For the knee I have a baulky left knee from a teenage water ski accident. Apparently you aren't suppose to collide with the dock.... On the Silvio I tried SPD so I could be more sure footed but it just aggravated the knee. You situation will be unique but if you get knee pain consider...

Sources are available How you define that statement as it relates to the components will really be your driver you can add a lot or a little beyond the frame prices. You have established a internal sense that the Silvio style bike will meet your riding desires and you are coming from an S2...
