Somewhere in Kenya.. not a real cruzbike but close enough:

Nice report! Please throw in some pictures of your bike as used on this ride.

A cost effective carbon MBB is best built from cutting up a damaged or secondhand Carbon road bike/DF frame and bonding the pieces together with carbon. This is well documented by Marco Ruga in Italy: https://biciclettereclinate.blogspot.com/2017/10/come-ti-costruisco-una-reclinata-da-una.html

The seat angle looks like an S30:), I like it! What is the final seat recline angle, I wonder?

Thanks! Glad to create some inspiration! Hopefully one day, by some miracle, I can afford ultra lite S40 frame to replace my steel DIY one:)

The fish-eye camera lens does exergerate the proximity. In reality , it was not that bad.

Yeah, but some of the stronger riders were missing on this ride. I do, however, feel pretty strong when Iam on my recumbent, except for steep climbs. Anything from 2% grade or more and the other riders have an advantage. But, I believe the main drawback is the weight. My recumbent is a little...

Another weekend group ride video in Nairobi. Hope you enjoy it:

Must be an interesting build. Any photos?

I think the forum has an issue. Try this facebook link: https://scontent.fnbo2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43491416_1917997938509721_743942396420554752_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent.fnbo2-1.fna&oh=9d08f20ad5ef094929b1fa6248f34ad2&oe=5CB34B1F And a youtube video

Creative thinking!

Why not keep the 50-34 crankset and use an 11-36 cassette at the back. 34x36 is plenty low.

Normally you want a balance between aero and weight to allow them to spin up quickly. If I could afford it I would go for 50mm at the front and 60mm depth at the back.

Yes, Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, but in my humble opinion the original factory paint job is way better! :D The original is a beauty!

I think thats an S30 Version 2 (The last iteration without a front suspension before S40 was released). It only had rear suspension and a 33deg seat recline. Some in the forums claim it to have been the fastest all round cruzbike on mixed terrrain (mix of climbing and on flat sections, rough...

Just another weekend workout video. Not very sharp, however, becuase it was shot in wet weather. Hope you Enjoy!

Those with an S40 can confirm where the frame serial number is. Is it at the headtube or at the bottom where the stays meet the main tube? With that Cruzbike can confirm the original owner, I think.

Yes, you need to be a tinkerer to get a T50 to resemble an S40. It appears to be especially challenging for tall riders to get the T50 to fit and look like an S40. The bike above is similar to this one below with telescoping stem...

That's a highly customized T50 by the owner. The frontend is not as stiff and as light as the S40 but still good for the price.

Thor sport angle is too open for a 40 degree reclined seat. Thor Easy is recomended for S40 I think. Here is an S40 with Thor Easy seat: Build thread here: https://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/s40-build-notes.11777/
