There is a Cruzbike dealer in Fayetteville NC. Hawley's Bicycle World. Jim Parker, the MD of Cruzbike and the company's co-founder also lives there. ;) :)

5 millimetre metric screw thread. :) Or a Dutch recumbent bike company! :lol:

Welcome to the forum. :) We were all newbies once. ;) Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm only trying to be helpful. :) You'll find the Search box at the top right of each page. Give it a try. Search for a keyword such as "Tiara". You'll get lots of hits, showing threads about...

Thanks for the diagram. I must admit that was struggling to understand the description of the seat mount in your earlier post. :oops: Your idea should work though I'm beginning to wonder if it would be easier (and better?) to just have the seat on some quick release brackets and detach it...

I wonder if you could get the rear of the seat base and the bottom of the seat back to align with the plane of the frame hinge? The seat base might then be attached to the front part of the frame and the seat back to the rear part of the frame. You probably wouldn't need to screw the seat base...

Welcome to the forum. :) IMHO The Montague Paratrooper would not be a suitable donor bike for a conversion kit. The seat would end up way too high. It would be virtually unrideable. Please go back to the drawing board and think again. :cry: Is it important to you that your recumbent...

Doug's Camelbak/water bottle solution :)

Re: UK - Sofrider V2 for sale in the UK I'll PM you Sunday week if it goes unsold. :) I've bought something else.

UK - Sofrider V2 on ebay in the UK The Cruzbike has now been listed on ebay. The starting price is ?475...

Your sig doesn't say where you are! If you are in the UK, mine is still for sale. :)

Water bottle juggling! :lol: When I pull the bottle out of the cage, it is the wrong way round in my hand. I have small hands so I have to balance the bottle against my belly to spin it around to get a drink. I then have to reverse the procedure before returning the bottle to its cage. So...

;) :)

Doug Shouldn't the spacer washer have a knurled surface on the dropout side to prevent slippage? :? The side of the spacer washer facing the hub is okay plain as it faces the knurling on the other component of course. :)

There should be two pairs of holes pre drilled in the Silvio's seat back for bottle cages. See this thread for pictures. Regarding the pump there are all sorts of possibilities. If you were to use a CO2 pump then that would fit in the ROO II bag.

Link to ROO II on The North Face web site :)

Regarding fitting a conventional width, rear rack onto the back of a Cruzbike. I had to bend in the bottom of my rack to take up the difference in dropout widths. A reduction from 135 mm to 100 mm. I wonder if that puts the rack legs under strain? A proper front rack like one of the OMM ones...

I think that Sean may be thinking about the Old Man Mountain front racks Jon? ;) :)

As you are needing to carry a laptop and papers then maybe you should look at constructing one of Jon B's midracks under the seat. Having the laptop on the suspended part of the Freerider will give your Macbook a much easier ride. A rear swinging arm mounted rack would transfer all of the road...

Sean After spending some considerable time fitting a rack to my Sofrider (See my posts in this thread), I'm starting to wonder if seat back mounted bags such as the Radical Design Solo Aero are a better option. ;) :) BTW Whilst searching back through posts on racks, I came across the...

Re: UK - Sofrider V2 for sale in the UK Click on the second picture in my second post of the thread. Under the front of the rack/carrier is a bracket (bridge) that helps to stabilise the mudguard/fender. It is attached to the underside of the rack via an L-shaped aluminium bracket. In the...
