I was curious about that. How tall is the steering tube before you cut it? Was it as tall as the extension tube?

Awesome pics! And that Vendetta is looking so good in yellow!!!!!!!!

Got the spring free and working! Paying a lot of attention to the higher end bikes, it was quite apparent that the seat is further back on the bike than the "utilitarian" bikes. So I did some modding and moved the seat a couple inches further back on the frame. Makes it be very upright, but also...

Is the spring inside the head tube?

So I got reasonably good at riding the Sofrider today that I got yesterday. Already being a rider of a slightly twitchy highracer probably helped. After an hour I could do figure eights and accelerate to 25 MPH fairly easily. I think I'm hooked! :) It has the super long bolt to set the bearing...

I was pleased that I could immediately ride it after some initial seat/bars/front triangle adjustment. Even starting out in my rutted, dirt alley. Yay. :) The front shock is stiff to the point of locked out. Rides fine that way, but am curious if there is a way to maintain it for proper...

Well, I sprang for it. Got an even better deal, and now have a great place to start and learn. :) It's in pretty good shape.

There shall be no wagering! :) "beating", me thinks.

Behind the head must be the "broom handle" effect. ;)

Is that a new clamping design? It looks like the clamping rings are in-board of the bearing cups.

Is a anyone planning an IGH with a belt-drive?

Vendetta-ish wheelbase and fatter tires means great suspension without the complexity.

Maybe it's expanding the line, and not replacing it. Just tweaking the V frame design a bit for a new purpose.

I am glad to see a less laid-back triangulated un-suspended frame. Helving welded triangulation in the frame makes locking-up much more secure. They can un-bolt everything, but they can't steal the frame! :)

I think this bike will appeal to me even more than the t50! I prefer the S and V aesthetics.

Is the seat base mounted further forward on the t-50 than the other Cruzbikes? It kind of looks like it. Especially vs the higher-end bikes. I guess it would mean more traction, but I'm under the impression that traction is fine on the Silvio and Vendetta. We'll know soon enough. :) My first...

I suppose the "waggle" lets you keep a greater amount of leverage for a longer time. Kind of like if more of your pedal-stroke per side were at twelve 0-clock. Or something like that. ;)

A rowing machine really should make it clear why it works better to anyone. Or a game of tug-o-war. When you pull at 180 degrees from your push, you exert the most force.

I would very much like to know the diameter of the two boom tubes? I'm one who would be modding the boom to be more Silvio/Vendetta-like. I have a recumbent boom (from my Performer) that just might be a good size for the upper section.

Loving the green and orange options. The silver is nice change from black for the front end. I suppose some will be modding that to look like the early Vendetta. ;)
