WOW!! Glad you're OK, Jack. Good thing the bike survived, too! Mark

I'd be real careful with this... I'd do some careful research on this because the last thing you want is to have that come apart on you while screaming down a hill. I'm sure you know that when aluminum goes, it does not give much warning. Sounds a little scary, to me. Mark

:lol: :lol: Thanks for the "Not-a-Mark B. Report"! :lol: :lol: Sounds like you had a great ride! Mark

Hey Smitty, Welcome to the forum!! The bike looks good, it appears you did your homework well! I would try moving the seat forward a little (extend the TFT to compensate, of course) and lay the seat back a bunch. Good things will happen for you and as long as you're learning, you just as...

No issues with my airshock yet. Getting used to the MBB is a fairly short learning curve. At first, it seems impossible, then you get to where it's manageable, then you get pretty handy with it. It's like anything else, you make progress pretty quickly when you first start out, then little...

I like it. I really like it. What if you put the seat a little lower? What if you used your mini mill/lathe to make you a "T" bracket that the seat mounts to and ties the front and rear end together? The bracket would stay with the seat; the front and rear sections would have an angle...

That's way cool! Thans for the report on BM. They say not to powerwash bicycles because you can wash the lubrication out of wheel bearings, headsets and bottom brackets. If you tried to keep the brunt of the spray away from these areas, you're probably OK. Mark

Ewwww..... Don't sit on that bench.... :lol: :lol: Nice pics! Mark

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no. There may be such parts available someday (hopefully- :D ) but not yet. Mark

It will get easier each time. Just remember to pay attention to what your hips are doing. When you turn, what you are doing is throwing your hips one way, or the other. What your body has learned from riding other bikes is to use body english to make minor corrections. On the Cruzbike, this...

Congratulations, Jack! That's really good! Mark

I rode with the same group of friends again today. The ride we did this week was to Perris Airport, south of Moreno Valley. This is an airport that caters to skydiving and is, in fact, quite famous for it. I hadn't been out there in years, so was eager to jump in and go because the last time...

I've had a good laugh with that, too. On group rides, when we stop for a breather, everybody gets off their bikes and sits in the grass, or something. I stay sitting on my bike. Somebody will ask, "Don't you ever get off that thing?" I always answer, "And do what, stand up? I have my chair...

Whew, that was close! That would have been what you call your basic computer crash. :lol: :lol: Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Mark

No, it would NOT work. Put the hacksaw down and back away from the Y-Foil. NOW! :lol: :lol: Mark

Jack is in Santa Monica. I'm sure he'll chime in here as he's usually real good about letting people take a look-see and try his bikes. His was the first Silvio I laid eyes on and the reason I bought mine. Be careful, you too will be assimilated! Mark

Do like Cycleguy, put it on a trainer this winter and keep fit for spring. Just don't forget that it's backwards to how you would think it should go in the trainer. Right John? 8-) Mark

OK, here's the story behind my trial of Barcons/Paul Thumbies on a Origin 8 Gary bar. I really love the Origin 8 bar on my Silvio and really love the barcon/Paul Thumbies on my conversion / commuter bike. I was thinking about trying the combination on my conversion bike, but was reluctant to...

Wow... Sounds fun! Can't wait to see it and hear your impressions of the bike! Mark

That's fantastic, Harold! Mark
