On the metal seat cruzbikes (T-50, Quest, Sofrider, Silvio 1.0, and Silvio 1.5) you can use water bottle cage spacers or schrader/presta sleeves to good effect.

Finding the "IDEAL" frame for your conversion is gonna be a hobby or quest, definitely not a quickie. The lower you can get your seat the better. below are pics of my Sofrider notice the seat is lower than the top of the wheels.

I think,, just a Sofrider v2 frame, the last ones were built up by Rose City as a complete bike. Not having a parts donor bike, and not having bike mechanic experience I could never make the V2K framekit add up for me. New Sofrider $1200 I figured if I got a Used Sofrider for $600-$700 It would...

I think Its time for time machine research, V1 silver with 135mm rear V2 silver with 100mm rear V2.2 Dark blue crank has been shortened to 160mm. V2.2 Bright blue V3 Bright blue NO front/fork shock

always liked the bright blue

Living in central Florida USA, I considered the added ventilation to be a necessity. :cool:

pretty ,,, pretty blue

China post to the US can take a little longer

IMHO If you are already riding reclined and on two wheels you will have no problems with balance and only need to adapt to a different steering and pedaling system. Pity the folks who come straight from the DF world and are suddenly turned upside down , like a turtle on its back, they have to...

That second turn, what a momentum killer! Now that you are more comfortable on the bike it't time to EXPERIMENT !!!!! Go back to the parking lot, set a some buckets as targets, and find a way to do those SLOW TIGHT TURNS while pedaling. I have a pedestrian bridge where you are supposed to walk...

To avoid confusion with DF's I would say 132.5 Drive wheel (front) 100 rear ????? trailing wheel ? fixed wheel ? maybe.. any suggestions ?

Hardy = @trplay PBP = Paris - Brest - Paris bicycle audux or randonneur event held every four years.( 745 miles with a 90 hr time limit) gun cases were hardys hand sewn bags to fit his silvio ? When he went last time .

looks sooo much better with the new bars.

Sounds like a kid with a new toy !!!! pedaling thru slow tight curves are when I lean out the most. since I am not staring at my front wheel I like to imagine stepping on the line/edge of the road with my outside foot as a steering aid.

@Rick Youngblood has used rubber blocks like these on E-bay to great effect. they are cutable and drillable.

ouch......ouch..... ouch..... all the time spent on shifting ,,, wasted because the bike frame was never securely assembled ?? I am sorry ,, but you NEED a bottom bracket with a flat surface like they all used to have or a 2018 front end parts that no longer clamps in that manner.

whoo hooo,,, as it should be. :) practice some stalls/ almost stop ,pause, and go again,:eek: for those check for traffic moments.

Must be the difference between a Sofrider and a V ???? At the beginning of my one and only parking lot session I put my feet on the pedals, leaned back and the bike transformed and became one unit that made sense, I swooped back and forth without steering input, feeling what the bike wanted to...

In general if you don't feel the difference between perfect harmony, acceptable / recoverable variations , and Oh My God ; you are ignoring or fighting input from the cruzbike. Going for more speed when you are not comfortable with the vehicles handling seems like folly. Your four decades of...
