Hi Gert Don't forget to ask Cruzbike to add your details to their dealers list in the "International" section. ;)

I guessed that you had found a Cruzbike from your avatar! ;)

Gabriel Mensi at Cycles Bentoline was very helpful when I bought a Cruzbike T50 frameset from him in May 2020. The transaction was all done via email, in English. I paid in euro via IBAN international bank payment. My bank did not charge a fee and they seemed to use a fair exchange rate from...

'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.' ;) :)

Carry a ball of string and get someone to kite you down to earth? ;):)

May I offer a suggestion? Before spending more than 500 dollars USD on the Efneo, I would suggest that you fit a 42 tooth narrow/wide chainring to your Q45 and see whether that works for you. You'll raise your lower gears a little but gain 10 gear inches or so in top gear. Yes, you'll also...

I'm not sure whether the Patterson Metropolis 2 speed front gearbox is still being made by FSA. As Rampa says, it used a lever/stopper against the chain stay to prevent rotation. The same method is used on the Efneo. This document about Q45 gearing by Jim Parker of Cruzbike might be helpful...

The Feedback Rakk stand holds the Cruzbike's front wheel very well. https://cruzbike.com/collections/all-products/products/rakk-bike-stand

I would say that a mirror is an essential accessory. The B+M CycleStar is very good and available from other cycle shops. Though go with a short stem, the ones with long stems vibrate a lot. Some folks like bar-end mirrors though your handlebar setup may not allow the use of one. I've tried...

My T50 as built and ridden since early June. I used the On-One Midge handlebars and cut down the steerer extension tube by 100mm. The reversed stem is a 120mm long one. Handlebar grips are foam rubber rather than wrapped with handlebar tape as I'm intending to do an Emeljay mod so I may have...

Gromit's T50 as built

Gromit's T50 as built.

In addition, trying to kick across the operating button would be hard whilst trying to keep the steering straight on a Vendetta. I used to own a recumbent, tadpole type, trike with small wheels (16") all round which had a Schlumpf Speed Drive. That had plates running down the sides of the crank...

I've bought a 50mm length Giant OD2 (1 ¼") stem on eBay ready for when I do an Emeljay conversion on my T50. :) The 1 ⅛" to 1 ¼" spacer is pictured to the right of the stem. The stem's top cap is resting on top of the spacer. The spacer may come in handy during the Emeljay conversion too. I...

Cruzbike T50 built from frameset. Past owner of Sofrider and Quest. Many recumbent bikes and trikes over the years. Carbon DF bike.

I've received my new, T50 frameset. It looks great. The black paint finish looks excellent and the welding under the paint all looks well executed. The T50 frameset box says, "Made in Taiwan", on it. :) The frame number is stamped on the underside of the plate where the kickstand would be...

I've bought (and received) a B+M CycleStar mirror as I agree with Cruzbike that they are the best mirrors on the market. :) Made by the same company in Germany who make the mirrors for BMW motorcycles. ;) This will be fitted on the off-side of my handlebars (closest to the centre of the road)...
