    2019 S40 coming soon!

    .. Or a slightly adjustable seat angle 30 to 40 degree range ;) . But wait, that would require a ribbed carbon seat! Thor style? .. Let the speculations and wish lists start ...

    Thor seat on S30v2 vs. handlebar height

    Your hands look lower than or at shoulder level. That looks good to me. But it might not feel good to you. Our bodies are notorious at detecting small changes. Always give your self a few rides over a couple of weeks to adapt and get used to a new position before you make any further/major...

    Curious, what is the seat angle of your Vendetta ver. 2.5?

    S30 vs Vendetta cruising speeds?

    I guess if the road surface was less than perfect, for example on tarmac with some cracks and patches, the difference would be greater in favour of the S30. If Cruzbike was to bring back the S30v2 or S33 all they need to do is to retain that rear Ti leaf suspension , use the S40 frontend and...

    Thor seat on S30v2 vs. handlebar height

    Very nice dtseng, I wish I could afford a frame like yours:) 9.8Kg Ti bike! must be very responsive and compliant! The S30v2 had a rear Ti leaf suspension. A really unique frame.

    S30 vs Vendetta cruising speeds?

    The last iteration of the S30 or S30v2 only had rear suspension. That is still very effective compared to a purely rigid frame like the V20 I should think. Yes the difference in speed between the S30v2 and the V20 must be very small. In my opinion it was the ideal general purpose FWD road...

    Thor seat on S30v2 vs. handlebar height

    Nice bike! My dream favourite and rare cruzbike S30 model! Use a stem riser to extend the steerer height and raise the handlerbar which will increase clearance from your leg. You can then push the handlebar forward slightly. It would be cheaper than buying a curved boom. The stem riser...

    S40 to V20 frame compabilty

    Can one order the S40 front triangle only (fork, chainstays, BB and boom)? How much would that cost?

    Outside diameter of S40 boom slider?

    Even the entire front triangle of the S40 would be worth buying if it was available for sale.

    Who said that you cannot 'stand on pedals' on a recumbent?

    They have one thing in common: Under Seat Steering (USS), although it seems to me he can still execute this with normal steering position. His ability to lift the front wheel and climb the ramp is a more practical use than the FWD wheelie.

    First Crash On the Vendetta

    Sorry for your crash @ScottRadliff ! I have seen a couple of youtube videos recently of new Vendetta V20 owners crashing. Yours is the third I have seen within a month. In my humble opinion, the V20 is not suitable for first time cruzbike/recumbent owners who want to get the bike and hit the...

    T50 Cruiser Special Edition $1200

    Would you sell it as a frameset only? Just wondering, it might be ideal for someone who likes modifications and tinkering.

    T50 vs Q45 boom stiffness?

    I wonder if a Q45/S40 front triangle ( fork, stays and boom) can be mounted onto a T50 frame. Anyone tried? Does Cruzbike sell the S40/Q45 front triangle as spares?
