And not much cheaper than a new one.

What is it with these people whose bikes look as though they have just gone to the shop and bought them and drove them home in the car? My Grasshopper looked like the battered old war-horse that it is and my Silvio is rapidly approaching that condition. Light-brackets made of old...

Try the Central Line in the rush hour.

Grasshopper has small wheels. That is why it is so blindingly fast.

One of the reasons why I got a Cruzbike. Worms. UCI hate people being unable to go over the handlebars. Anyway the LEL and PBP people allow funny bikes. Not "real" cycling, obviously. And in the Hour, why are the UCI so finicky about the tuck?

Do they have to do the course one way and then turn round and do it the other way? Turning that long tube thing round must be fun.

I was suffering from an insufficiency of depression this morning. Thanks to you lot I no longer am.

Everybody has heard of Merckx and Le Tour. You cannot win Le Tour unless the UCI lets you do Le Tour.

I agree.

UCI do not like 'bents. Sour grapes.

That wing looks as though it generates lift. Have you thought of adding a propeller?

My Grasshopper is apple coloured but it has banana bags. And some Cruzbikes are orange.

You do not need to wish that. The past is gone. You are a bentist now.

In the UK they used to call that flintstone thing a dandy-horse. Some of them had brakes. Is that bloke Amish?

Silly me! I got on someone's Bianchi last week and got off again. Nearly killed me. I did not even ride it.

150 is a hell of a lot of degrees. How about short cranks? A lot of Cruzbikes have short cranks. Mine has 145.

I kept changing things on my Silvio but I seem to have stopped now. At least I think I have. Obviously I got more used to it, but I am certain I made it fit me better than before.

More expensive? Some people pay more for one DF than I paid for two 'bents. Including getting all the bits for the Silvio separately and getting the wrong ones. Power by pushing into the seat? For the users of this forum it is bar-pulling. Seat-pushing is for the Grasshopper. I thought I...

Yes, upload images. On my Silvio, for low-speed handling, it helps a lot to sit up and lean forward. I modified the bars and now there is a lot of space in front of my chest, which makes leaning forward a lot easier. You say you have your hands closer than normal and you have a fairing behind...

Access would help. There are hardly any bike shops around here, let alone 'bent shops. When is the Ilford branch of Rose City opening up? I thought the first GCN video when he rode the bikes and smiled a lot was good. The second one was daft. They are seriously informative about stuff like...
