Its kind of slow here so how about this. My brother got some JB Winterfest dark beer at Trader Joes today and I think its pretty good. How about some other ones? Jack

Mark im in San Diego for 2 more weeks.They are working on a bike path right now that will make a complete path around the south part of San Diego bay it should be done by march. It will be a nice ride then. I would like to go back and do the SART also. Jack

That bike looks great.Next month I will be taking a hack saw to my Giant conversion and make a new top tube out of plywood and fiberglass.The seat will be lowered to 24 in. Jack

Just changed the Qring position it was a 10 min. job even with triple. Just loosen the inner chainring and you can pull the outers without removing the cranks. Just put 55 miles on the bike and im climbing much better now. New position is only 1 hole to left of the Bentup position looking at...

The Q rings are working ok they are still on the Bentup cycle position.Dont know if that is the best one so I plan on trying few more positions. So far they have 900 miles on them. If I find a really good position it will be posted. Jack

Nice report now we need to see some pictures. Jack

Sorry to hear of your crash but its sounds like a poorly adjusted derailer not the Cruzbike kit. I have at least 5000 miles on my Cruzbikes with just one small slide out my fault.I think the front wheel drive is much safer than rear wheel drive. Jack

Check out my Giant conversion no suspension and it works great. Just look for a small frame donor. Plenty of pictures on the conversion brag board. Jack

Good deal on the fork.I hope its an 1 1/8. Jack

Yes you want the bars more vertical.I would play around with the adjustments and see if it helps. Jack

It looks like your grip is pretty high up on the bars.You might try rotating the bars so your grip is on the end .You can also try moving the shifters down.It should be easy to shft with one finger. Jack

Heres my set up I dont get any wrist pain at all.I cant ride an upright for more than 5 miles without some pain so my wrists are not that great. Jack

One nice things about the kits is how easy it is to change things.Try it with a stock setup first then take it from there.My Giant conversion has a lot of recline even with a hard tail the ride isnt too bad.I rode an Optima Lynxx before going Cruzbike it had a movable tiller also and since you...

All you really need to change is your bars to Gary8 clyclocross. Jack

This is as low as I would go.Feels great and no butt pain even after 20 miles or so. Jack

I thought the review was pretty good. The Silvio has to be one of the best handleing recumbents out there. Jack

It was the Giant with no suspension.I only bought 1 kit so just keep 1 conversion at a time.I do plan on riding at a little smarter in the future. Jack

Last week I did a 40 mile ride on the Silvio to Redondo beach with no problems.The area around Venice beach did have a lot of sand on some really twisty areas where common sense says slow down.With the Silvio I just blast through there with no wheel slipping. The next day rode the next day...

What size frame is it? You dont want the seat base to be more than 29 in high. 24 is better. The R600 looks way too high to me. Jack

Most people get so pissed when I pass them they just have to pass me back. It must be something about an old guy on a recumbent. Jack
