Eric -  Thanks for the RWGPS Eric - Thanks for the RWGPS tip. As I was zooming out on your route map, I realized that you were in Michigan. Brrr!!! Ancient Diamondback to a Vendetta? That's like going from a Jeep to a Ferrari! Apples and Oranges. Randy - Congrats on getting the...

thanks! Thanks for sharing! Keep 'em coming! Steve - Man, I LOVE to chase down DF's. They're targets for me - the more expensive, the better. I don't always catch them but it's fun when I do. I flew by a guy on a Cervelo today, that was great. He caught up with me a little later and...

There is a forum (www.rbentonline.org) that I participate in for recumbent riders of North Texas (where I live). They've got a 'did you ride today' thread that is pretty popular. I thought I'd try to start up something similar here. So, yes, I rode today. It is CRAZY windy outside -...

you're welcome If you want any more photos from any particular angle, send me a private message. I'll be happy to send you some.

me too I know this is the Quest thread, but you inspired me to give this a try on my Silvio. I ride with my daughter to her school in the mornings - it's only a few tenths of a mile - but I've been working on it this week and I'm getting pretty close. I started off coasting...

I think you need to renew some license to use the Google maps. I get an error a few seconds after this page loads. http://www.cruzbike.com/cruzbikers

it's hard to tell from the photos but Hey Ken, It looks like the reason that your arms want to be outside the bars is because your brifters are positioned low and outside. (Sounds like baseball). The way your wrist is bent in that photo is similar to what caused my initial wrist...

I have that same sticker (first batch of 12) what does that mean, exactly? It says "Original Edition" and I have this sticker on my Silvio 1.5. That seems self-contradictory, but maybe I misunderstand. Does it mean the first batch of 12 Silvio 1.5's? If so, I wonder who the other 10 are.

handlebars I had some wrist discomfort when I first got my Silvio. I noticed that my wrists were bent as I was holding the brifters. I fixed it by changing the angle on the handlebars so that the bar ends were parallel to my forearms as I was riding. Before that, they were more level with...

How could I forget Now I remember your bike - I remember that post you made about the construction of your seat! Paper towel tubes! Very resourceful. This will be my first year to ride in the cold weather (I live in Texas - we don't have much cold weather but we do have some). I am...

hydrating Hi Steve, > (I have not learned how to rehydrate while riding that low!) I have read a lot of your posts. I can't remember what kind of Cruzbike you ride. I have a Silvio, and my seat angle isn't quite that low, but I have found that a great way to hydrate is to put a...

ETA? So, John, do you have an ETA on when the new hydroformed Vendetta will be available? Rough estimate at least?

If I were buying a Vendetta If I were buying a Vendetta today, I would pick yellow even if I had the choice. Fast-forward to when this bike is more common and there are plenty of yellow Vendettas at the rides I'm going to....maybe then I would choose another color. Probably red since it's...

from DF to Silvio If you want to compare DFs to Cruzbikes, I think I can offer some perspective. I started DF cycling in 2010 (at age 40) and averaged around 15.5mph on a 17lb Felt F55. I kept at it until June 2012 when I bought my Silvio, primarily caused by back pain. I had never ridden...

take look at this The video in the 2nd message of this thread shows a guy riding a Silvio on rollers. Rollers are much better for learning balance and smooth pedelling than trainers. http://cruzbike.com/vendetta-rollers-instead-trainer

If you don't mind... Hi Randy - Please post a follow up after you've had some more experience with them. I like your initial impression, but I'm wondering if you will find that you are consistently faster with them, and by how much. I recently learned about what Jens Voigt tells...

That's encouraging.   I have That's encouraging. I have a Silvio and when I tried it on my rollers there was a lot of back and forth rocking, and I went off the rollers a lot (usually sliding back so the front wheel was in between the roller wheels). I could do it, but it required a lot...

For what it's worth, I don't For what it's worth, I don't think this is typical. I have the same wheels and tires and mine hold air very well. I have 400 miles with no flats and very little air less over a week at 100 psi. Better than my last bike.

2nd real ride This bike just gets better and better. So, I went on my 2nd 'real' ride this weekend. This time both of my usual riding buddies were there. The one who hadn't seen it before (the fastest of the three of us), on first sight of my bike said "Ok, let me take a look at this...

Of course, it always looks Of course, it always looks easy after its done. FFR did a great job.
