I remember Joy mentioning how she wanted to get a V when we were at the Cruzbike Retreat. Are you still thinking that direction? It's true that going Cruz means you may have to find a faster crowd to ride with. Sometimes I feel a bit sorry for the diamond frame riders who are at such an...

Price drop to $2200 for this Silvio 2.0 Includes shock pump, 2 Zefal Spy mirrors and Wellgo combination platform/SPD pedals. Get it before I list it on BROL.

Exactly! They make no difference at all except to your wallet. Larry Oz did some testing on them awhile back I believe and came to the same conclusion. I tried them out and noticed no difference in speed or knee comfort. I believe the favorable reviews may be due to confirmation bias - spend...

I also have a nearly new Scarab bag I might be willing to sell. Good luck with your V. It's an amazingly fast and comfortable ride.

I use a Bachetta Brain Box mounted on the head rest. It swings less from side to side if you cut a 7.5" wide x 6" high piece of things plywood, placing it inside the nylon pocket between the front side of the headrest.

Today I brought my average speed on my V up 1.3 mph over my usual average with the installation of ceramic head set bearings. These babies are smooth as silk too.

My wish is to have a T50 that can be configured as a touring bike. I think there would be a market for a comfortable touring rig that can climb better than other recumbents. The T50 would need to have a way to mount under seat panniers in addition to a sturdy rear rack. Tricia and I are...

Mark B, I own both a Silvio 1.0 and a 2.0. The 1 has a Sram double setup while I have an Ultegra triple on the 2. In the almost 4 years that I have had the Silvio 2 I have used the small ring probably not more than 15 or 20 times. Still, it can be reassuring to know you have the bail out gear...

You need to measure your X seam and then the fitting instructions on the Cruzbike site will make sense. Google X seam, measure yours and then look at the size range for the 2 chainstay sizes in the info page for the Vendetta.

It's the races Cruzbikes have won lately that is damping down the naysayer's taunts. Some Cruzbike crank even posted on BROL that winning races was not proof that a bike was fast - (face palm).

I believe the recommended pressure for the average weight adult is 150 lbs.

I have a similar dilemma with my Freerider. I sometimes need the convenience of clip in type pedals when starting up on inclines. Often I can't get enough forward momentum on the initial stroke to stay upright, in which case being able to pull back quickly on the pedal and try again is crucial...

The Cruzbike family is certainly a wonderful and friendly bunch. I received the warmest welcome from them at the Retreat last July.

I think you're going to love it.

I weighed it on my wife's kitchen scale and it is 10.1 ounces. It has great ventilation - looks to me like it has more venting than the Giro Air Attack. I just used it on a sunny ride today and the tinted visor works well preventing glare. I used to use a baseball cap to keep the sun's glare off...

I found this on Amazon last week. I ordered it and really like it plus the price is a hundred or so less than the Giro Air Attack. The fit is good and the shield snaps on easily, either in place shielding the eyes or upside down. The only downside I see so far is that the visor is not available...

Good job on the photos Keith! Did Joy notice any increase of front wheel slippage when the panniers were loaded?

I prefer nylon hiking shorts that have a gusset crotch. I suppose they are not quite as "aero" as spandex but the extra air circulation helps keep things keep cool down there. I also like not dressing like the hard core roadies on their carbon DF bikes. The downside is the occasional bee that...

Abbott, is this T50 the model that was said to be able to accept a set of under seat rack mounts? If so, and if it can take a rear rack also, then this is the true touring bike the Cruzbike lineup has needed. Imagine, a touring bent that doesn't suck at hill climbing! Now we just need to get it...
