I was browsing the Wal-mart site last evening, and found this bike. I was beginning to wonder if a Y-frame bike was still being offered for sale. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11064966

HI, I saw Britdave in Alcester has a cruzbike on the world map. I would love to get in contact as I have looked many times at the web site but would like to try first before taking the plunge and getting a conversion kit. Are you out there. Don't know what frappr is to contact direct. I'm near...

Well, not a big ride, but a significant one, my first on any two-wheel recumbent. Kim Tolhurst came through my home town, and we arranged to meet up for a test ride. Seems this was one of the Silvio prototypes, and one of John's own bikes ? Cool !! Anyway, as many of you have found, it is...

Guilty as charged! Mark

Hi, For a while now I've been intrigued with the idea of having a 'convertible' touring bike, that could go from cruzbike position to upright and back, depending on the riding conditions and terrain. For example, If I know I'll be climbing all day or on rough off-road terrain, I'd ride upright...

This has been an interesting week end. As you know Mary and I are shaking down and dialing in our new little motorized go anywhere bikes. I mentioned the B-17 at 2000 feet or so over my house Saturday. Well the next day while I was loading Mary's and my bikes to ride at Shelby Farms trails an...

This is what happens when you have a bunch of spare-parts, a little inspiration and too much time on your hands! Someday, when I grow up, I want a real Cruzbike :) http://www.rapidcreekcycles.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

Hi All, I just wanted to share my experience with the upgrades to my new Sofrider. I wanted a triple crankset with 155mm crank arms to replace the standard double that comes with the bike. I read in someone's post about Mark Stonich of bikesmithdesign.com. He can take longer crank arms, cut...

Hi, Anyone in the Canberra region? The Silvio has me tempted to try a recumbent for the first time, but I'd certainly like to try before I buy. And, I'll look around the forum, but I'm 6'2" tall, long in the body, so a bit concerned as to how the seat will fit my back. thanks, Steve W

This was going to be a quick ride, hopefully quick enough to beat the rain that the radar showed was heading my way. With that mindset, off I went for about an hour's fast ride. Or so I thought. Passing me on the other side of the country lane was a short-wheelbase recumbent. The normal sort of...

Hello all. I just got a mountian bike and will be buying he conversion hopefully next month. What I would like to see is photos of some conversions that might have been set up with baskets or panniers. I am sure somebody else must plan on taking something with them in their travels.

The Silvio was on the road before the sky had completely lost the gray of early morning. The new Dinotte lights, fore and aft, lit the pavement. The drivers of the few cars on the road had no difficulty seeing this bike. Two miles from home the road became wet from a gentle rain that lasted...

On the page Sofrider specs, one cann read these «vital stats»: Wheelbase 1110 mm; Total Length 1746; Seat Height 645; Crank Height 620 +125 (shortest xseam) -175 (longest x-seam) I think something doesn't work: the WB + 660 (the size a a 26" wheel) is more than 1746, and the bottom bracket...

Hi how to firmly attach handlebar on smaller tube? The telescopic front tube does not have a constant diameter. It is larger near the bottom bracket than at the end where they slide into each other and where the clamp is. This means that the arm that holds the handlebar will not attach at all...

I have just done my first decent decent down 14% bitumen AND Gravel slopes on a Softrider V1 with 185 mm Avid BB7 front disk, and 160mm rear disk, and I can not believe how much better feel (150% better)and sensitivitythey are than the Tektro Auriga Comp Hydraulic 160mm disks (F+R), and just as...

On any standard bike configuration a seat post is a key weight and stress concentration point on a bike. For that very reason a seat post is rigid and is not intended to be bent in the first place. To johntolhurst; If I'm understanding you, your are saying no heat is required in this method...
