Sandy, Don't give it up just Sandy, Don't give it up just yet - you really have to put in the miles and the balance and stability will come very quickly once you have time in the seat and actually have some better riding conditions. Practice "flintstoning" the bike like a kids strider bike...

You would be right at home You would be right at home here in Portlandia. ;-) Robert

The Q 451 is no longer in The Q 451 is no longer in stock, so that would not be a purchase option at this time. That said, the 559 Q can fit every wheel size there is 700c and below, so if you are interested in wheel builds and what works or does not work there are options there if you want...

As with all things that are As with all things that are worth the effort: Practice, practice, practice. Once you acclimate and have a full riding season under your belt you will be faster, stronger, and more stable than you can envision at this point. Stick with it and you will reap huge...

I would concur just about I would concur just about 100% with ratz here on this. Robert

What Rich said. The V is What Rich said. The V is simply the fastest bike under the same conditions than any other I have been on. The gap is too wide there. Robert

Many here have hit the points Many here have hit the points that need to be made, but definitely this is a mod that as a company we cannot support. Looking at that second picture in post #63, you could have possibly used a single thinner spacer on top of the pivot clamp - and just...

Rick, I have about the same Rick, I have about the same experience. I also find that the bikes feel better and handle better with the bigger chainrings and wider range cassette (when needed) as opposed to mini granny rings.

Triples are way overkill on Triples are way overkill on the low end for Cruzbikes and not necessary - that has been my experience. You can only gear a two wheeler so low anyway. People sometimes want to gear these like they are trikes. Very confusing. :-) I can always spin a higher...

Hello all, There are new Hello all, There are new instructions nearing completion now. The new ones are not radically different that the old ones or than the S30 ones that are up (shared front ends) They should be up shortly. Robert

Oh wow you will very likely Oh wow you will very likely be blazing fast on a Vendetta V20 for sure. It is simply awesome. Robert

I have not built a V or S I have not built a V or S where the BB needed to be faced - the anodized surfaces are very flat and the process does not add any gunk to the surfaces. If they end up painted however, then yes it is a good idea to face them to ensure nice even surfaces. Here in Portland...

Most excellent!  Most excellent!

Sandy, All great advice here. Sandy, All great advice here. - The results are well worth the patience as anyone here will attest. Also pay attention to the setup - I dialed your bike is according to your measurements but over time you may find that tweaking the pedal reach/handlebar...
