Thanks for posting the pics over here, Pete. I think you'll get a handle on the bike pretty quickly... Be mindful of your hips... They can be your friend, but they can be your worst enemy. Keep in mind where the steering is, basically right between your legs. Too much hip action is bad...

The coversions are going to be heavy, there's no getting around that. The thing that's weird about them is; they don't ride heavy, especially if you use good quality wheels and components. My original conversion was fast as I wanted it to go. No, it was no Silvio, but it did what I wanted it...

Alex...... Has been assimilated. :twisted: First of all, welcome to the forum. Great report, thanks for posting! You hit the nail on the head. You just cannot explain how or why this bike works... Not in a way that the average guy can understand. John can rave on about tangents and...

I have that very picture on the desktop of my computer. I used it as my motivation when I bought my first one. Sigh Breaks out the Barbara Streisand.... "Memories..." Mark

:lol: :lol: I got it.... Medicinal... :lol: :lol: I was OK with the Mountaintrack conversion on most road surfaces. Some of the rougher streets will rattle your fillings out, but not too bad. Are you going to ride that on the 21st? Mark

Oh thank God.... My Cruzbike fix! Mark

It's starting to all come together, now. Pretty soon, you'll be wondering how you ever got along without this bike! Good report! Mark

Yeah.... It's pretty much too late for you.... You will be assimilated! Mark

I think it would be cool! I suppose anything could be converted, it just depends on what your skills are and how much time/effort/$$ you're willing to invest. Mark

She's a dilly!!! Mark

Nice report, Jamie! Are you getting more relaxed with the MBB now? Sounds like you are. I don't have a bell, but if I rode bike paths much more than I do, I would seriously consider one. Mark

Yep... I'm down. Do you have a date? It can't be the 7th or 8th, other than that, I'm good. Are you thinking of starting at Yorba Linda, or from the beach? Mark

That's a great question and one I haven't sorted out yet. OTOH, I haven't really worked too hard on it, yet. I don't have anything against racks, ordinarily, but don't care for the looks of the OMM rack on the Silvio. The only thing I've seen that looks appealing to me is Defjack's Radical...

It's only just begun, Jamie..... Know that! Good report and glad you had fun. Be mindful of your hips as sudden "body english" moves like you would make on a RWD bike can and will get you real squirrely real fast. This can be a good thing for evasive maneuvers, but a bad thing when you least...

Brain fart? Mark

They say you should change your cable housings from time to time, as well. Don't forget brake cables, either. Mark

I can't believe nobody had anything to say about this bike! Comepletely built, the bike came in around 15 pounds! The test rider said it seemed faster than a VK II. There's a video and despite the test rider being a newb to MBB, he was doing just fine. Here's some more pics and the video on...

She's a beauty! Mark

Sure looks like you got the position dialed, Jack! Mark

Come on over to the Cruzbike chat. Going on right now! Mark
