    Is there any difference in the new frame/old frame, aside from cosmetics?

    V20 female riders

    I wonder if part of the reason for not seeing more women on a V, is all the hype by the guys and marathon races (not being negative here), along with the perception of the difficulty of learning to ride. If women are a little afraid of the bike because of this, they shouldn't be. There's nothing...

    Need comparison for a newbie - Bacchetta G26 v S30/40

    I had an Att26. I also had an S30 and have an Qx100, S40 and V20. The S40 is faster up hill, but for me, the major difference is in the feel of control on the bikes. I never got comfortable not pulling on the handlebars on the Att 26. The steering always felt a little out of control. Once I got...

    Newbie S40 Build Details

    I may be missing something but if not and this helps.....I used a Force 22 front d and a 50/34 Rival crank and have no issues at all. Rival brifters and it shifts fine. We did have to bring it to a bike shop for a final adjustment because we couldn't quite get it dialed in, but the components...

    Wanna go on my bike?

    I let a guy demo my three. He was my size, so no problem there. He started on the Q without much issue, so I said try the S30. He did ok on that, so I took a deep breath, and got out the V. He did fine, and in fact thought the V was the easiest to ride. ChaleJake, get the S40. I love it. I...

    Looking for Purchasing Advice

    I have bought two framesets from Cruzbike, a V20 and an S40 and an S30 from Vite. I had John Schlitter build up the Vendetta too. He did a great job and he is in Spring Hill, Florida. I bought the frame and had it shipped to him. The Cruzbike people are great and the bikes are wonderful.

    New S 40 build

    I never tried the S30, because that had road tires. I also haven't ridden the Qx on it, as I bought it, the S40 came out and that was the end of the Qx for me. I'll try the S40 again with lower tire pressure. On another note, we rode some of the Erie Canal trail recently. The S40 was great. It...

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    I've done a few Zwift rides, not races, and really like it. Not sure I want to race, but when do people ride? Is there an event list for CBers?

    S40 questions

    I really didn't notice anything other than I could push off of the seat. (No pressure points or anything uncomfortable.) Then, when I next got on the V, I noticed that I couldn't push off. If I could only have one bike, I'd probably keep the S40, but since I can have N+1........

    S40 questions

    My neck rest on the V20 and S40 have both been cut down 2". Once I did that (thanks to Maria), I was able to just add some padding and a sock cover and they fit my neck nicely. Also, I took a short, 6 mile ride on the S40 (husband bought a used Metabike and he wanted a short shake down ride)...

    S40 questions

    I have a Vendetta and just finished building an S40. I have only ridden it a short distance on the road, and that was a flat, paved rail trail. It is slower than the V, but I also put 35 mm gravel tires on it and a rack and bag. On a gravel road, it went up hill pretty well. I could feel the...

    Regarding the neck rest, I don't know how tall you are, but I cut mine down about two inches and it is very comfortable. See a picture of my S40 under that section. I am 5'7".

    Equipment List For An S40 Build

    And for people like me who have never built a bike up before, you need more than one chain for an 11/36, 34/50. (About 5 more ") And Niagra Cycle had 10 speed Rival brifters.
