    Looking for a Silvio or Vendetta, used

    ElyDave, I don't think we want to go that route. Thanks for the interest though.

    Seat issue, help needed

    Thanks for the info. Even though I just bought the Q, I just ordered an S40 to replace it. So I now should be good to go.

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    That would be Mr. Encore might never miss it! ;) (He set up the forum account for me, with his name. I'm the Cruzbike nut, but I don't know how to change the name now.) Anyway if it's true, I'm sunk, as I'd love to have a gravel trail Silvio! Joy (That's my name, and the emotion while riding my...

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    Well now, I don't know if I'm happy or not. I have a suspended S30, but got a V20 for the road. Since the Silvio couldn't take gravel tires, it sits on the trainer. I JUST bought a QX100 to ride on gravel. Now rumor says a new gravel Silvio is in the works? How much money can I keep forking out...

    Carbon seats for a Qx100

    Does anyone have any advice on a good lighter weight seat? I took my seat bottom off to modify it somewhat and was amazed at how much it weighs. I saw a picture with a Thor seat, but the Easy looks like it comes up too high in the front for me. Does anyone know if the Sport would fit? I would...

    Seat issue, help needed

    After a couple of rides on my new Qx100, I am getting a bruise type pain on the back of my left leg, high up near my butt, from the seat. No issues on the right. Boom seems correct. I also ride an S30 and V20 and have no issues with them. The front of the seat just seems a little too high...

    If I can build up an S30, so can you

    My Bacchetta is going up for sale, ATT26. Was using it on gravel, but I just got a Qx100 to replace it with. I wish fatter tires fit on my S30. The V20 is my favorite. The fit feels like it was designed and made just for me.

    QX100 advice on tires/wheels?

    So I like the new bike on the local gravel rail trail, but find it to be a bit slow up hill (gradual climb for a few miles). Is there a way to speed it up? (I know, improve the engine, but I'm faster on my Bacchetta on the same trail.) Would better wheels/tires help? I don't know what the...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    Could someone post a photo with a rider? I'd like to see where the handlebar comes in relationship to the body/arms. Thanks.

    New to me Qx100 with handlebar mod

    Castlerobber, here is a photo. It is flat on the table. No flair, just straight bar. If you think it might work, message me your mailing address and I'll send it out.

    New to me Qx100 with handlebar mod

    Castlerobber, I tried a different bar off another Bacchetta, that I didn't like as well. I'll take a photo of it tomorrow, and if you think it might work for you, you can have it.

    New to me Qx100 with handlebar mod

    They are the bars for Giros, pre 2016. You can find them on the Bacchetta site. They have a slight flair, and measure about 21". I cut about 1.75" off the ends, leaving enough room for the brake and twist shifter.

    New to me Qx100 with handlebar mod

    Just bought a used Qx100 to be used on gravel rail trails. Will replace my Bacchetta Att 26, which is a bit too tall for comfort. With the original bar, I felt like my V20 was easier to ride! I just didn't feel comfortable with the original bars, and I had a Bacchetta bar going unused, so on it...

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    I try to spread the word on every ride if I can. I am a recreational rider on mostly my Vendetta. I have the best luck getting women to sit on it. Guys won't even try it, although they will try the Encore (husband) sometimes. I think it partially has to do with the look of the layback and how...
