Time to clean out all the parts left over from our various Cruzbike builds. This is almost all items left over from build testing and or the recent Di2 upgrades. There so much stuff I'm coordinating the list over at BROL. You can PM me here or there for items you are interested in...

Here's hoping they get this both work and ship, but I wonder if we could figure out a way to mount on an S30 or V20? http://hammerhead.io

Ok who has Di2 installed on their Vendetta? I'm looking for detailed photos of anything clever you did for installing the batteries and the wires. While searching for components for this winters Silvio Bullhorn Brifter project I got stupid lucky and scored a Ultregra Di2 6870 groupo...

Alas November is here; and so is the cold. Snow can't be far behind. But not before I finish a milestone for the year. This isn't mountain land here but it's hilly enough and windy enough. As of today I'm at 99,449 FT of climbing on just Cruzbikes this season. Tonight I will go out and...

Well it's really really cold out now; probably 5 or 6 more potential riding days before it's just too stupid cold to bother. So it's time for project Quickr, parts are arriving; leftovers from last winter's Silvio builds and this summer's upgrade have been dusted off; a few things need to...

Daughter wants a Green Quest. I have the unused v1 frame for our training. I think this winters project will be to combine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neO0rG4h3lc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N5N-AYaENI ?To make a green "carbon fiber" quest. If I actually do it...

2 Quest 20" 2 Quest 26" 1 Vendetta 1 Silvio 1.0 And that is just the Friday showing; we'll see how shows up tomorrow.

This past weekend I took the wife to her first group ride. We did the modet 52 miler in the lake district of Minneapolis. This was my daughter's 2nd time for this event; first time on her Quest. It's a good thing we didn't do one of the longer two rides because we sure spent a lot of time...

Let the fun begin; I'm starting to log miles on both bikes on similar routes and it's fun to see the differences. Suddenly the Silvio is a decidedly relaxed ride. I can jump on it and go; and I don't feel like I'm laying down at all. I get on the Vendetta and the bike just wants to run...

I haven't been able to upload photos for forums posts for a couple of days. So I put this post up over at BROL with the photos. I'll add the photos here when the forum is fixed. http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?p=1229976#poststop First thing I noticed was...

I was surpised when news reached my ears of some interesting changes a foot in the next batch of Silvio's. I am not a certified spiller of the beans and I have not verified info..... But perhaps we will get some announcements soon about what's coming up. I have a feeling we'll see some...

The Quest Project is coming along nicely. How many MBB can you find in this picture? After some fiddling we got both the Quests seat angles locked in at 43deg which makes jumping between the two sizes feel about the same ergo wise. I did need to lower the gearing on the 559...

Ok it's raining again and it will be for a week. So time for some distraction. In keeping with a long standing tradition it's time to come up with names for my new bikes. My Silvio 2 is going to definitely be called "Whisper" and I think we'll have to put that in nice vinyl letters on...

On to the next project. Finding a great, mirror solution, not a good one but a great one. I've been riding with Mirrors for what seems like ages. The bullhorns on the Silvio are going to be a mirror challenge. I've got the Zefal Spay mirrors )which I've used for ages) and have an ok...

Ok this might be stupid but I find interesting. Perhaps this has been considered already. What would be the implications if the welded on stem clamp were removed from the end of the boom of the Silvo and the Vendetta? Replacing it would be an Outside slider like on the nose of the...

Ok I'm working on Hydration for our long rides 80-120 milers. We have a few stretches of 30+ miles without civilization and we'll ride when it's 90F+ so hydration usually consists of two camelback podium bottles of water and a bottle of electrolyte drink. Noah posted the showerpass a while...

Ok 2.x owners. What are your tips for remove the front wheel without the front end falling apart; derailleur and chain get all twisted up and general winding up with a disaster on your hands? I'm finding that I have to: turn the bike upside down and rest in on the handbars and the seat...

We installed water bottles on both of our booms. Initial ride testing on the trainer and the road, says there isn't enough leg clearance for that to work, tried 8 different types of bottles we have laying around. Unless you focus on it; every 10 strokes or so the thigh rubs the bottle; and...

26F + stocking hat + ski gloves; it's not too cold to learn to ride. Ok I couldn't take it any longer it was time to get on the road. Our snow is down to 5ft piles from 10ft and the roads are dry and clean thanks to a couple of days warm melting. So it was time for 30 minutes of hooky...

Anyone tried or used a Click Stand with a Silvio or other Cruzbike.? http://click-stand.com/Home_Page.html
