A rigid front end updated V1.5 Silvio. The ultimate road bike that does it all (IMHO) Currently the V20 and S30 forks are not the same axle to crown, so putting a V20 fork in an S30 frame alters the headtube angle/trail and results (because I have tried it) in some scary handling at speed...

"Cruzbikes are faster than I am" I would agree with that 100% The V1 has a great power position IMHO for the steeps. The V20 is faster on the rollers/flats/downhills.

I think it is a combo of a lower COG and no front suspension. There is zero vague feeling about the front end of a V - it is a power machine and like a train in the corners. This is where it shows its true racing roots I think. That said, the S30 (or even the older Silvio V1 etc) are much...

Correct - There is only one size of fork. Only the chainstays are different lengths.

Suz, :-) Yes the box can be reused if you like. It would take a bit of putting back together but it has been done.

Having been on high speed downhills - smooth and rough - on all of these bikes the V has the advantage in every case. It is like cornering on rails. The Silvio handles the corners well, but I would not take them as fast as I do on my V. Each of these bikes has very clear advantages in certain...

I am glad this worked out. It is always a challenge with old parts as there are many variations in the tubing sizes used back in the day. Whew! :-) Robert

I would have to see some photos of the bike to be sure, but yes a medium chainstay could be used to turn it into a medium - that is the only difference between the "sizes" of the bikes. The challenge is the myraid of interfaces between the fork/chainstay/DR hanger. there are specific...

Alan your bike is on the way. Yea!

I have had a few people ask how the complete builds get shipped. Here is a fun video packing a V20 for shipment. Same crate holds the S30 and coming soon - an option to have your Quest pre-built and shipped the same way.

Hey everyone. Here is a quick video that goes over the proper headset adjustment. Hopefully this helps. :-)

Elliott. Glad to see that you are OK. Keep us posted on the insurance issues - and given the miles you have on that bike and the nature of the crash - even just looking at that one picture - I would consider that bike a loss. Too much could have been damaged there beyond the obvious. Heal well!

EPIC!!!!!

I need that red cog!! :-)

So much Q ring goodness! Here is a shot of my Q's in action:

I would concur with ratz above. :-)

Abbot, Here is a link to the hanger spares: http://cruzbike.com/vendetta-v20-and-silvio-s30-dr-hanger-single-spare

This is key and should get you very close. It takes a while to really dial in Q's so they are right. It took me about a full season of default riding and trying a few holes before and after.

Abbot, What calipers are you using out of curiosity? If you want a great feeling brake the TRP hybrid cable/hydraulic is a great break with good modulation.

Oh my. Not enough time to list all the bikes. I have had the opportunity to ride nearly every recumbent on the market (or no longer on it) at some point. The Cruzbike is the best performance ceiling in my experience. And I don't say that just because I work for Cruzbike - it is the truth. Put...
