Well, the seat is better. But it is still not what I want to ride every day. I will continue to futz with it.

Last upgrade for today. A worn out seat pad from a RANS sling mesh seat. An old piece of carbon for this purpose, originally on a Bacchetta seat. I know I should throw stuff away, until days like this... BTW without taking it apart to find out on my own, can someone tell me if the...

I noticed it swimming around a bit. Getting off center will drive me completely nuts. Will probably employ a little velcro in this "try before you buy," phase.

Phase 2 Installed and rode around in the land of Zwift briefly. Anecdotally, the transmission of power (such as it is) seems to be more immediate. I experienced some discomfort with the seat. I may try to add a bit of length and width to it. The seat always seems to bury its nose in my spine. It...

The first question answered. Mounted the hardshell - extreme bodge!- unfortunately, the seat in relation to everything else caused the mast clamp to rub my inner thigh on every pedal stroke. FAIL!

First, let me thank ReclinedRider for the very nice Sofrider frame donation to my project. Further, he packed it so brilliantly, it must be noted somewhere for posterity. Anyone who knows my dodgy recumbent history would know - I am an expert on packing recumbents. Well done ReclinedRider. The...

You are too kind. I am not unfamiliar to the tribe. I have piloted both Silvio and Vendetta in the not so distant past.

Mr. ReklinedRider and I have made some arrangements. I will start another thread when there is something to report.

I am vaguely interested in finding a Cruzbike to dedicate as an indoor Zwift trainer. A frame not usable for outside might be just the ticket for this experiment.

Nice looking ride, vaguely familiar.

My brief experiment with the Vendetta is at an end. While I had no trouble riding it, my sensitive back could only enjoy the seat for about 20 miles. Oh well. 2015 Vendetta TT V.2 frame (lg) approximately 300 miles Carbon 1 piece seat w/Cruzbike pad Ultegra Cranks 34/50 170mm Ultegra/Mavic...

Unfortunately, it won't fit behind the fork, that would have been kinda slick. I stuck in on the front, but needed two brake washers and a spacer for the pads to clear the fork. It will require an uber long brake nut to work. I am little uneasy about that much torque on the brake nut. However...

Any big-legged-boy brake suggestions? I have these, but the recess in the front fork is making installation a bit funky.

Has anyone ever used one of these on a Vendetta?

I received a second RD from the bay and installed it. As several of you warned, it too went on at an angle indicating the hanger must be bent. I removed it (the hanger) and could not tell anything was wrong with it. The metal was not stressed in any way, and had no signs of abuse. Well, no...

Cue the puncture fairy...
