I've bought another pair of handlebars to try when I set up my T50. The On-One Midge Handlebar - Black. I'll be using drop bar type, shifter/brake levers on my Silvio-alike. I had earlier bought a pair of handlebars very similar in shape to the ones on my diamond-frame racing bike, Controltech...

Thanks for the information, Rampa. A useful tip.

I have ordered a T50 frameset. Black frame + Black assembly. Initially I plan to build the bike up with the unmodified frameset parts. I will use a drop handlebar together with the following other parts:- Controltech RA-540DB-6 Alloy Road Bar 42cm - black. (to be decided) On-One Midge...

The Ice Trikes Neck Rest - Air Pro works well on Thor Seats. Very well made. Unlike a lot of more cheaply made neck rests it doesn't sag. Lots of adjustment too. I had one on another make of recumbent bike which had a Thor seat. I haven't tried Thor Seats' own neck rest, it wasn't available...

A great find Rampa. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/gb/giant-contact-od2-stem Those look very good and avoid the need for machining (or filing). I have a Giant bikes dealership in my town so they should be able to get me one if needs be. The shortest one appears to be a 60mm though whereas the...

After a lot of searching for something suitable, I've ordered a 31.8mm stem. This appears to substantial enough to machine out, on the steerer side, from 1 ⅛" (28.6mm) to 1 ¼" (31.8mm) diameter to fit onto the slider tube. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B086QRYWCG Free delivery from China...

That is a very generous offer. Thank you very much. I will see what I can come up with locally once I have the frameset and the 1 ¼" T6061 tubing for the slider tube. Often having the parts actually in my hands can drive the inspiration on how to proceed. If nothing springs to mind then I may...

All a bit too early to say on the stem. Sadly the short stem which you bought isn't available over here in Europe (Great Britain), as far as I can tell. I've been looking at pictures of other stems but so far I haven't found one with as much material on it, to machine out to 31.8mm. I also need...

I have just ordered a T50 frameset. Black frame + black assembly. Initially I plan to build the bike up with the unmodified frameset parts. I will use a drop handlebar. To get the drop handlebars into a suitable position, I'll use a reversed stem. I have plenty of different length options in...

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

I've bought a new, T50 frameset now. So I no longer want to buy. Thank you to the folks who read this thread earlier. Gabriel at Cycles Bentoline in France was very helpful.

I have been pondering whether DanieleG's trike conversion kit could be used with a Emiljay converted, Cruzbike T50, like rx7mark's to make a Cruztrike? Here is a YouTube video of DanieleG's latest, leaning trike based on a Performer Zelus Front Wheel Drive recumbent bike.

Will the complete Q45 front triangle fit onto a T50 frame? I've looked at the pictures of both machines and it looks possible.

Here is Emeljay's thread on modifying his QX100 (Adventure Series) steering to emulate a Silvio or Vendetta's steering. https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/qx100-steering-mod.10853/ The first post in the thread explains the reason for the steering mod.

I contacted SystemEX for information on the 31.8mm seat post clamp with rack mount (Stock code XCLFR318). The distance between the two faces on the seat clamp where a luggage rack would be mounted is 37mm (1.457") The thread size of the bolts needed to attach a rack is M4. I am not sure how...

I've found an alternative, 31.8mm seat post clamp with rack mount to the M Part(?) ones which Mark used. https://www.extrauk.co.uk/product/detail/SystemEX/Seatpost_Clamps/2405/ The seat clamp is from SystemEX. The tube clamping bolt is on the opposite side of the seat clamp to the rack...

Past owner of a Sofrider and a Quest. Many recumbent bikes and trikes over the years. Carbon DF bike now. Maybe a leaning Cruztrike one day?

There is more information on why Daniele upgraded the tilting mechanism and added suspension in the article linked below, which is on his web site. http://gonano.eu/low-racer-tilting-trike-with-new-rear-suspension There are a number of interesting comments about the tilting mechanism below the...
