be suspicious of "new members" selling stuff too. ask for their person email and then via a reply to that -ask for a GPS encoded picture of the bike they are selling so you can confirm they actually have the bike in the location they are claiming. This is about the only way I know to confirm it...

The only real distinction I have ever seen in the Vendetta Hydro-formed frames is the small plate covering the frame at the back with 2 holes for the headrest. Before that it was just open. I think we have referred to this model as the Vendetta 2.1, which is the latest version before they did...

If you do this it will make you knee too bend on the backstroke - you really need about 150mm cranks to solve the problem of not being overextended and bent too much

Great photo and story Todd - when you are ready to part with it, please give me a call at the Cruzbike Museum - It would look great here along with a bunch of other original and famous Cruzbikes!

8% is not light work for anyone. But on a Cruzbike it truely depends on have the right gearing, power, and balance to keep the Cruzbike at a speed you can balance and keep it moving. I think I climbed 18-20% grades for a short time in Sweden, and Tor even tackled a 23% grade - and we were both...

So are you saying that with the current chainstay you handlebars are in your belly and you need them to go up? If so, you may need to get a shorter chainstay - what is the length of your current chainstay (center of wheel to center of BB)?

I am thinking of riding E-W (right before the ride) just to experience it in peace and quite before the crazy begins. Anyone interested?

Just don't put in on upside down! :) ... That is a joke - because you can't - but you could with a V20 curved slider and some people did! :) Not much to installing it - It will drop your handlebars about 1.5 inches so adjust it for best feeling when you are laying back in your seat. If you legs...

BikeFlights is about the cheapest these days. But the package size also makes a big differerence. You can play with the sizes in their interface and see when the price suddenly jumps up. I have found the optimal bike box sizes of 52x12x27, 53x11x27, 52x27x12, 52x28x11, and 50x29x11 work pretty...

I am happy to help you dial in your fit - if you can get someone to video you (from the side as you are riding and pedaling I will give you my opinion and things to look into adjusting. Pics not moving (at least 4 with foot at 12, 3, 6, 9, and at one hand on handlebar) are better than nothing...

I so not thing there is not really anything you can do to make the front end stiffer. Eventually you will get used to it. If you are making really sharp low speed turns then the best thing you can do is drop you feet sit up some and hold the handlebars tightly to turn - then once you finish the...

Double check on Stans - Those inserts (and possibly the V tires) require Ammonia free sealant. Many sealants have ammonia in them as a preservative to help the latex stay good longer. Vittoria and Silca are the only two I found that are ammonia free - and Silca is so thick you have to pour it in...

This really fun to install (not) - practically impossible to put sealant in because the foam liner blocks the hole of the valve which gets pushed right into it. I am still made over the mess I made in my garage installing it. I wish you luck and patience.

I Usually put 160 in the front and 140 in the back - but 160 works fine for both - I guess depends on your weight. I would say if you are are 180lb I would go with twin 160

Hello fellow Cruzbike Tribe Member, I am highly contemplating riding my Cruzbike Vendetta in the 24 Hours in the Canyon event this May 30 in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas. I am looking for at least 1 person to support me in this event that is hopefully close enough so it is not a huge...

Congrats on your first ride - eventually you will be able to actually start with no hands! Then we hope for a Video!

Interesting - I don't know how I would like the BB below my seat - also not build for aero - but probably visibility and comfort

You should always degrease a chain before waxing it. The wax will not stick the the grease. New chains are shipped with grease on them so they will not rust. The chains supplied with the Cruzbike completes have this "new chain grease" on them. Note: I use Molten Speed wax - I have used the dry...

I'll give $1000 for it if you throw in the truck! :)

I have this original conversion of Jim's in the Cruzbike Museum.
