Did a ride to the beach in med to heavy traffic,then on the beach path around 12 miles.Im running 1.25 Peformance city slicks at 60 lbs and the ride was pertty good.I even hit a few pot holes just to check.The bike handles great ,tracks straight goes right where its pointed.Havent put the spedo...

These bags hold about 1/2 as much as panners. I can get tools ,pump 2 tubes a jacket with room for more. It would be easy to add a few more mounting straps.I havent had any problem with them hitting the back wheel.You can check mine out on our next ride . Jack

Now its right.I was looking for just the right riding position tried 2 stems and 3 bars. This is what worked reversed short adjustable stem ,reversed cruiser bars. Jack

Here it is. 9 Speed with 105 road cranks. Jack

Got it done in 5 hours. Had some knee clearance problems with the cruiser bars so went back to flat mt. ones with stem reversed.Need to do a few test rides but it should be ok.I really liked the Cannondale but need a better stem adapter as the whole front end was off to the side 3 in or so...

I will soon be taking a hack saw to the Giant frame.The top tube will be cut and replaced with liteweight plywood and fiberglassed. The seat height will be around 22in or very close to a Silvio. If this works out it might open up a whole new class of donor bikes. Jack

So how do you like it? Jack

Greg im in Chula Vista now.Let me know when you want to try it. Jack

Goop worked for me. Its a silicon and dries like glue. Jack

Marks right how about some feedback. Jack

It will work just keep the seat as far back as you can.You will have to bend the seat post or make a plywood adapter like mine. Check out the pictures of Jacks Cannondale in the yahoo group. Jack

You could be right .The new brifter came in the day before the Bentup cycle ride so I just put the double on.I know it will work with some fine tuning. Jack

You might want just sit on the bike and start adjusting the bars and TFT. I kind of keep my elbows out and never have any finger pain. Jack

How soon will these brackets be out?I had to go back to a double as the brifter would only shift to 2 chainrings.Got a new left brifter but still couldn't get all three front gears.I will just wait for the adapter and try again. I don't need a triple around here that much but its nice to have...

Thats a good looking bike alright.Dont worry too much about starts they get real easy even in heavy traffic with some time on the bike. Jack

Thats bad Mark hope you get back on the rode quick. Jack

Just keep riding.I have about 3000 miles on various Cruzbikes and only had one wobble at first get into the high 30s on some downhills with no problem. Jack

I found a new Ultegra long cage derailler that works well.The Deore LX worked ok also. That was with the 11-32 im now using 11-25.Rear shifting has been great. Jack

Your derailer should work ok with the 39.Why dont you email a picture to Doug.That would help alot. Jack

I had a good time at the rally.Nice meeting everyone.For the Sunday ride I rode from my house so ended up with 46 miles.Didn't have any trouble keeping up with the faster high racers at 18 to 19 mph.About 150 riders were there and the food was great.Dana knows how to put on a first class event...
