Funded! That was quick...:):cruzbike::)

Absolutely. You could easily come up with a simple "sawhorse" type stand that would take the place of the rear wheel. Just build something out of 2X4s. Since it is a standard 100mm "front" dropout width, one of those DIY bike transport things (I have two mounted on my trailer, I can't recall...

Make sure your cape doesn't get tangled up in the rear wheel...;)

Apart from the tin-seat joint not flexing enough to lay back into V20 range, I would say that the rear seat stay isn't going to be adjustable enough to suit. While I'm sure one could cut it down somewhat (as it telescopes, etc.), I would say that an easier route would be to fabricate a set of...

You would too if you had a moose on yer back. I prefer to be launched by moose.

I think Lucia reported that a 26 x 2.5" would fit if you didn't use the wooden fenders. Since the fork tapers in width, a 406 could presumably go wider.

My buddy across the street had one of those (in green). He paid the price of having that shifter a couple of times. OW! :confused::eek::( This is what mine looked like (on the right)...until I removed the fenders, added a banana seat and ape-hanger bars. Mine had 24" tires.

Current plan for my Red kit is to go full on 1960's Beach Cruzer: lots of chrome (or polished aluminum), fenders, and fat white-wall tires...even down to the 60's style chain-guard, white grips, etc. I don't know about grip streamers (although my Schwinn "American" had them when I got it in...

@ratz has a tutorial posted here that is excellent. I transitioned from an Optima Baron...(with some intermediate steps in more upright Cruzbikes) and found the V to be quite a bit easier to learn than the Baron.

Thanks Lucia! Done and done. Backer #42. I gots plans...Beach Cruzer. Whitewalls, snazzy chain guard, rack. Now to find some chrome fenders...

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!! Miz Diane called and sent me on a minor emergency run. When I logged in to snag a RED one (15min after the start), there was one left...but by the time I processed it...gone. :(

The TerraCycle flag mount is supposed to be one of the better ones. Also, the Purple Sky flags are well regarded on BROL. http://t-cycle.com/purple-sky-flags-c-131/mounts-spare-parts-accessories-c-131_135/terracycle-flag-mount-p-310.html

Dibs on the RED one! :D

Cool pix. At least you have hair. ;) I'm going to get a set of those Origin8 drops and use them for fitment on my version. Thanks!

:D Earlier is always good! I worked for a few years in the consumer electronics industry (as QE/QA). Getting any product to market is a very crazy process...full of potholes and butter-slick railroad tracks. The instant you think your product is "perfect" another "OMG-gotta-do-it"...

Latest update: App for iOS has been revealed, Android right behind it. Looks pretty sweet. Even has a function to deal with cable stretch, should you need that. If this system performs as advertised, it is gonna be an amazing thing. Apparently it has sufficient memory for saving the setup for...

Ooooooh. Great idea! Go 1X with a drillium old skool chainring up front. Too bad back in 1980 they were almost all 52 tooth x 144BCD (with 175mm cranks). I think I can remember some 50t chainrings though.

Really really big lettering. Or: "If you can read this, please consider donating in lieu of flowers" Neat installation and well thought out. Thanks!

Not pretty enough. Would rather have a set of old-school drilled ("drillium") and/or panto rings. Those Italians know how to make beautiful hardware... Actually, Campy didn't sell them that way. Drilling done by third parties usually.

Crap, I'm an ankler? Will I be shunned? I like my Qrings...but in truth, I can't actually tell any difference in any of the positions. Ok, I spent my money and found no magic pill. Meh. I'm comfy with the fact that they simply look cool. If questioned, I will lie like a dog. Yes, they make me...
