DavidCH, nice bar setup! Which 3T model are these bullhorns, and how do you find the new bars in relation to the number of hand positions compared to your older bars? I'm also thinking about a bullhorn brifter arrangement because it opens up the selection of bars without as much worry for width...

The plethora of BB standards inundating the market these days is one of the biggest problems affecting the cycling industry, IMO. I wish they'd all settle down on one or two designs like in decades past and be done with it. It's making it harder and harder to decide which crank to get when the...

Can't recall where I saw mention of it, possibly was a post here but it would have been about a year ago. Maybe the shim was a special item made by someone? It shouldn't be too difficult to make if someone really wants to stick with the latest Shimano BB. Thanks for the correction and I eagerly...

It is an amazing mod. I'd pay good money to add a device like this to my bike. Too bad this individual sold his Vendetta and no longer posts on the forum. Development has ceased, unless someone else picks up the torch.

Someone previously on the forum already designed almost exactly what you propose, and the seat angle can be changed on-the-fly... Thread: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/the-seat-of-the-problem-on-my-new-v20.8182/ Pictures...

When did you purchase your Vendetta? I distinctly remember reading somewhere that Cruzbike was going to start including shims with frame sets for the new Shimano BB cups. This concerns me because I already have a new DA BB. You know, I think I'll just take Bob's advice and get the SS version of...

I had wondered about that too, but never heard of anyone using only a single chain before. It might be possible if you have two chainrings combined with a narrow range cassette and a short cage derailleur. I'm planning to use a 12-25 or 12-28 cassette with 50/38 or 52/39 chainrings, and don't...

So do I, but I'm also dying to find out which bikes turn out to be the fastest in that eclectic ensemble and their idiosyncrasies. Besides, if it was you or I in Larry's place, could we find the courage to resist the temptation to race a bike we discovered was fastest out of the bunch? I'm...

Which cranks did you get or did you shorten them?

There are shoe covers that cover the front of the shoe up to the cleat, but they are intended for colder temperatures. I've been using a pair for over a month now and they are thick enough to protect your shoes. I don't know how hot they get in summer so you might need another solution when the...

Thanks for the info, Bob. I think I might need glasses as I didn't see the optional slider last time I was on the order page. Now I'm in a bit of a quandary whether to choose the curved slider or stick to the standard one when it comes time to order the frame. The curved slider will offer more...

These are two different arrangements you can try next if you have the time, one with just the rear disk and the other with open fairing bottom to help identify the main source of additional drag. You can also test fairing (both versions) with standard rear wheel if you haven't already tried it...

I have two questions: first did you try the disk wheel alone without fairing; secondly, is the fairing covered underneath or only the sides? Sorry if this was mentioned already and I missed the information.

Hi Kline, That is one great looking frame! I have a question about the boom on the core edition frameset you ordered. Is the boom at the handlebar end recurved? I've seen recent photographs of the new V20 and S30 sporting recurved booms unlike previous versions of either model. I was wondering...

There are a few riders that have the longer stay option who aren't bigger than the average person. Is there a reason besides fitting or comfort someone would opt for the larger sized frame? How much does the higher BB benefit in speed if at all? I've seen Ben Tomblin race with the longer stays...

Larry, haven't you fabricated custom variable-length crank arm adapters? Can you use them temporarily until you get another crank better suited to your needs? Normally they're used for fine-tuning chains on fixed-gear applications. Maybe the builder needed that extra adjustment for reach without...

Square-taper but probably not a one-key release if it requires a socket, which means you might need a crank extractor tool. Not something that most people have handy nowadays.

Wow, that's definitely one-of-a-kind. It has what must be the shortest chain on any bike I've ever seen. The head tube angle might produce more wheel flop but maybe less pedal steer? Very interested in your ride report!

Thanks for answering the questions in my post, Joseph. I had a single chainring on one of my DF bikes when I was young. Yes, it does simplify things and sheds a bit of weight. There are pros and cons to single chainrings. Even if you end up with a similar range, there may be bigger jumps...

I have several questions about your 2015 component selection if it's all right to ask. First, what crank are you using with the custom length and what difference did you feel afterwards? Second, did you see a major improvement with elliptical rings? Third, what cassette gearing did you have...
