    V2/K Frame and Conversion Kit $300 and Free Shipping

    Hi Crane Fly, Curiousity getting the best of me. Do you have a smaller shock fitted to the V2K? It seems to have a smaller gap between seat post and the suspension attachment point than I recall seeing on Sofriders.

    Wanted ASAP: Softrider or Quest/SFL

    You might want a boat or a tank for the short term! Hope you keep safe. I sympathize with your lack of dealer trust - sometimes the "experts" can't be depended on. If you were to purchase a used Quest it would be previously assembled so the re-assembly would entail quick releases (rear...

    S40 Build with Road Triple

    No worries. That makes great sense, I guess I was wishing you had figured out how to improve comfort even more to the point that the cushion was not necessary. Alas, today is not that day. Since you have ridden Silvio 1.0 and now S40, and with very similar component set as well, can you give...

    Wanted ASAP: Softrider or Quest/SFL

    What does SFL stand for? There are several of the Conversion Kit, Sofrider, Quest, available on this Marketplace forum but most are going to require shipping and re-assembly. You might want to contact the Cruzbike office @Lucia to see if there are locals willing to let you test ride / check...

    SOLD - Quest Q559 - $700 - Boulder, CO

    Hi dtseng, You can get the S40 or S30 now and you can build the titanium one at your leisure. Once the titanium one is completed (and you have shown it off to us all) then you can sell me your used bike - maybe I can afford it by then! I think the challenge of custom building one is that the...

    SOLD - Quest Q559 - $700 - Boulder, CO

    Weight: I had similar thoughts but wanted to try a Cruzbike before committing to a major purchase so I purchased most of a conversion kit. The experience of 2 years of commuting on it says even a heavy conversion kit with a less than ideal frame is well worth it. I say jump on one of these...

    S40 Build with Road Triple

    So do you ride without seat cushion or is that just how the picture was taken? Please comment freely on experiences and reasons if you indeed are riding seat-cushionless. (Do you ride other bikes cushionless? etc.) Cheers, Ben.

    Wanna go on my bike?

    Mehh. "crazy Canadian winter" was more for poetic licence. Our winter here in Hamilton, Ontario is probably much easier than in North Dakota. We fight with slush and salt on roads more than depth of snow, drifting or ice. Temperatures range down to -18C (0F) for several days each winter...

    Wanna go on my bike?

    Would you say the T50 stability and seat position would make it suitable for (crazy Canadian) winter bike where you occasionally need to get started in snow? :) Now that I am acclimatized to my Cruzbike conversion I really don't want to go back to my mountain bike for winter. Last winter was...

    V2/K Frame and Conversion Kit $300 and Free Shipping

    dtseng, I've seen several of your thoughts on the forum lately, welcome to Cruzbike. Take the plunge, you will be glad you did. This would be an amazingly inexpensive way to get into Cruzbiking. Basically this is the same as getting a virtually new frame set for a Sofrider. You supply...

    V2/K Frame and Conversion Kit $300 and Free Shipping

    Hi Crane Fly, What does your experience say is the difference between the Y2/K + Conversion compared to the Sofrider? from a riding, weight, transitions between road and sidewalk ramps, adjustability of seating positions, etc. Thanks for your knowledge, Ben.

    Steering damper/stabilizer

    Keep up the good work. The commute is fantastic - it keeps things rolling when you don't feel like it and might otherwise skip. And then you have to go back home!! Don't forget to take it easy every other day so your joints and muscles can repair and build - rest is just as important as how...

    Short leg Short Boom mod Quest/QX100 Option 1: Shorten Boom and Slider

    I don't have a Quest - how much adjustment is there and does moving it forward affect the seat angle? Why would that affect the traction much, wouldn't minor change of boom only be a minor change in centre of gravity? I really am hoping this can be explained. It may be telling for my...

    Short leg Short Boom mod Quest/QX100 Option 1: Shorten Boom and Slider

    Here's the type of groove I was talking about in 1.b. The groove allows the clamp to squeeze tightly onto the inner tube.
