    Incredibly Stable Recumbents

    Just a heads up, We have Just a heads up, We have Ventisit comfort cushions in stock. I absolutely love mine. They can be a "like it or not" thing. For me I had to add the stock foam from the OEM cushion (not the dense one just the filter) and it is perfect. It looks awesome too...

    First club ride, and help needed

    I have side entry cages under I have side entry cages under my seat and feel it works well. The Fastback from Terracycle will also work but needs a few mods to how it mounts at the top. Other options are in the hopper but I can't give away too much but stay tuned. ;-) For a back bag...

    Let the V20 build begin

    Ah yes that was the last Ah yes that was the last weekend before I had it repainted. :-) For those interested the paint code for the V20 is YS-751. It is a Metallic. There is of course never a guarantee of a 100% match.

    Incredibly Stable Recumbents

    I will agree - once you have I will agree - once you have some good training miles under the belt a Cruzbike is about as stable a platform I have ever been on - other than just standing on a platform. HA! This last Cycle Oregon there was one section of climb - about 5-6% grade and it was...

    Let the V20 build begin

    Kiwiguy - That is an early Kiwiguy - That is an early version 1 Vendetta that I had repainted. It is actually a different red than the V20. I only had the boom and frame redone - it is the old slider and fork. Robert

    Let the V20 build begin

    paint While I agree that the painted boom on the last version is awesome, the new slider and boom is not suited to paint as easily. The last V painted boom was fixed - nothing slid against it. The new boom goes inside the slider and if it were paint would scratch easily. The slider is designed...

    First Silvio road ride

    A 38 may be a tight fit. A 38 may be a tight fit. Given that different rim widths and tire profiles all interchanged will create all sorts of varying widths it might have to be a "try and see" thing unless someone has some definitive experience. Robert

    First Silvio road ride

    baov, Roughly 43mm at the baov, Roughly 43mm at the very top of the crown area as it tapers in towards the top. In a 650 wheel there would be a bit more width since the fit of the tire would be further down the fork. Robert

    Ready to build the ultimate Vendetta racing machine

    Moving to a narrow bar is Moving to a narrow bar is best done as a gradual thing, as you get used to the inputs needed on the handlebars. Going too narrow though and while gaining aero I think that all leverage would be sacrificed and I wonder if sprinting and bursts of speed on hills would be...

    Proof of Upper Body Engagement

    Lief, I didn't think you Lief, I didn't think you sounded non-appreciative of your Silvio V1 - I was just trying to pry it from you hahahaha! I did Cycle Oregon 2014 on my V1 Vendetta. 34,000 feet of elevation in 6 days. No WAY I would have been able to do that on another bike...

    Help with Silvio 1.0 setup please

    Plenty straight and steady Plenty straight and steady once the miles have been put in. I agree that at first I wondered if I could ever go over 18 mph. After the end of the season these bikes are the most stable I have ever been on of any 2-wheel recumbent or upright, especially on downhills...
