Check out the Silvio brag board.Cruiser bars work great with plenty of clearance the steel ones are stiffer.You also need to use road brake levers like the ShimanoR550. The Silvio also uses a wide bar clamp so you will have to widen the clamp area on the bars.I used 1/2in aluminum shims and JB...

I have been riding my conversions with cruiser for a couple of years and like them. With the Silvio I have been getting some shoulder pain but not any on the conversion.Now I ride both bikes pain free with cruiser bars.Just put a right Sram Attact shifter and it works as well as the brifters.I...

On a ride sunday there was a Rans V Rex with B39 bars. They are 23 1/2in wide. I go just as fast with the cruiser bars as the Origin 8. Jack

You just need some more time in the bike.Also go clip less as soon as you can as they make starting and hills much easier. Jack

Marks right I really get my revs up when im passing slower bikes. Jack

I would go to a Walmart store with a tape measure. Look for a bike with a top tube near the seat of 26in. or less. Jack

Check out Amazon.Niagra cycle has a good selection in steel and aluiminum .I have steel on my Trek 26 and they work just as good and are a little stiffer than the aluminum ones. One reason the work on Cruzbikes so well is the 25in width.There is a lot of room for shifters and knee clearance.The...

Just got back from a shake down ride to check out shifters,brakes and bars.Everything worked just fine.I just have to shim the bars some more.These bars are 25in. wide so there is plenty of knee clearance.Brake levers are Shimano R550.shifters is Shimano Nexus for derailer and an old Suntour...

Measure hight of top tube 8 in.from seat tube should be around 26in max.You can get away with higher but not much. Jack

Just noticed the Polaris is steel so is heavy.I would go look for the lightest bike you can find. Jack

From the Walmart site how about a 26in womens Hyper Wave Dual or the Polaris Scrambler 26in.Didnt see any Avalons but a store might have them. Jack

Crossbar is too high. A hardtail will work ok but you want the seat under 26in. I have found 3 or 4 bikes on Ebay. Jack

Top bar looks higher than the Y-26.

It should be ok.I cant find any pictures but its an older model before the Y26.I would go for it if the frame size is right -med or small and its not to beat up. Jack

No they both have the Cannondale headshock fork which uses a 1.5in diameter head tube.The kit will only work with 1in or 1 1/8in. headtubes. Nice bikes otherwise. Jack

It looks like I have been pumping my shock wrong also. Go to the Cruzbike website.products >Silvio then look for air shock pumping follow this and you cant go wrong.I did it this morning and bingo. The instructions on the Kind box didnt do it for me. Jack

Looks good I ride mine as much as my Silvio. Jack

Get a short hi rise stem and cruiser bars for a great bike.I have no knee clearance problems even with the stem lowered and turned upside down. No matter how you do it you don't want your knees directly under the bars. Jack

I got the bars out of the junk bin at a bicycle co-op os have no idea what they are. Some specs 23 -24 in wide and about 1 -2 in rise. I cut about 1.5 in off them. I have plenty of knee clearance even with a short stem turned upside down and slid down the steering mast. Over the last 3 weeks I...

I need all the help I can get
