BullBrift :) part 1 So the last of the parts came on Friday as luck would have it I had time to work on the bike, or perhaps the lack of it is a better assessment.. So Mrs Ratz sat on my bike and decided the she liked the drop bullhorn bars... A LOT. but she has no taste for bar end...

The shop is closed.... Ok thanks for humoring that long tangent. Perhaps it will help someone. The basement bike shop is all cleaned up now; and the bikes are ready to transfer to the garage as is the shop; and it will be too cold to work in the garage for at least a month. We'll ride these as...

Hands not too small Mrs Ratz has smaller hands than I do and she found all of the grip positions very comfortable. The brake handle reach was a little long, but these are SRAM shifter so the reach is adjustable. In the end we brought the reach in about 1/3. The next two...

Love that toppeak bag Looking good Jack, That medium bag is really nice; and so is the large one. Oddly they are one of the few toppeak product with a sane price. If you have not noticed this yet; you can hang the medium on right under you cycle computer for food; and then get the...

Outside the box Ok this one is out there and a tangent; but since John lit the grenade in the room I'll go with it. Create an evangelist network. To Jeremy's point test rides are key. So allow established owners that are in attractive Geographic Zones to enter an agreement to buy a 2nd...

what charles means What Charles is really trying to say is, the conversion kit or the V2k needs a FORK.... and poof conversion kits sell at 2x the current rate.

I don't normally do this.... +1 To everything Nanda just said about The Seat. +1 To making the Silvio the base platform for the high-end three models. (Follow what TroyTec has done with that idea.) +1 To Fixing the graphics (Improved Cruzbike logo goes where the Silvio 2.0 logo is. Model...

Power John, Yes, it's about 95 more watts that I can comfortably push for a burst sprint. I only did this in passing I will repeat it this summer more formally. But that's mighty encouraging no? Here are the details for this completely unscientific comparison; and my plans in...

Bridging Hi Ak, Yeah I was testing the "pull" positions. I know a lot of people like to sit up for stability at slow speeds; or for climbing a surprise hill. So I wanted to see which positions on the bar gave a firm enough grip to quickly get into a situp positions. For pure power I do...

It's a void not a pricing error. Kungfuguy, What you feeling is a void in the line up; not an over pricing of the Silvio. You are correct about the void, but not about the Silivio being too expensive. Hopefully I can make that case to you without being insulting..... If I fail please...

Funny you should ask Eric that's a good question. I have done 4 test rides between snow storms. I specifically tried that hand position because I like that as a down hill relax position. As speed, when the hands are in the drop bend; it's is more sensitive to hand input but not bad. In that...

Bullriding - aka double chin theater. So I thought I'd show off how much weight a person can gain in a brutal winter; Here are three videos from different angle riding the bull horns on the trainer. I left the audio in. When you hear a screech noise; that is the wheel locking up and the...

It is in the works Bryan said that some Cruzbike stuff is on the upcoming docket; lack of time for him to build a frame kit up; has been the hold up in the past. I got the impression that he was getting pre-built units this spring to review.

Theft in this case is great Ken, I am so going to steal that plywood idea for long term storage in the winter; excellent work sir !

It's all about the links Same here; I use SRAM quick links on 10speed chain about 10-15 times, That same chain power my 50lb trike up some monster hills and high torque. Should be find unless you are NFL sized. You can also use 10 spd KMC links on a 10 spd Sram chain. Also interesting We...
