25.8 lbs for an alloy recumbent with disc brakes and pedals is not bad at all! I wonder how low it can get with a climbing wheelset and 1x drivetrain? Can it get to 22 or 23 lbs? When I first built my homemade MBB, it weighed more than 19Kgs (41lbs). Funny how our perception of weight changes...

I have no words. I may not know all of you that got together to do this, but Iam humbled by your generosity. I don't deserve it but Iam deeply grateful to you all. To Jim and Maria Parker, I shall do my best to represent your great company whenever I ride that beautiful bike . The Bible says...

It practically is equivalent to the last S30s with a rigid frontend. Theoritically, It should be a very fast bike! I wouldn't mind having it;). A Silvio 2.0 with an S40 frontend triangle would be super!

I personally found that there is an optimium point at which the relationship between the seat position and the bottom bracket postion gives you the highest power output. I don't have a formula yet, but I kept tweaking my bike until one day, it seems, something just clicked. Now the bike rides...

I guess I was pushing my luck! hahaha!

The frameset donation would be most welcome!

A couple of vidoes of our annual charity group ride. Hope you enjoy: and

Goodness! That is so laid back! How does it feel going up a 10% grade?

Nice report and great photos!

Well done!

Man! I pine for an S40 frameset! That green machine is a killer!

You probably need a recumbent rider friend similar to your age and power. Then a recumbent that is not too low like an S30 or S40. It feels great to be synchronised and glide like a single unit as you overtake other riders!

One of my cycling club buddies drafts my recumbent so well. Recently a profesional photographer took a picture and it looked like we are on a tandem :)

This version does not have front suspension. No need for the pump.

This is a rare model of an S30. The last version before S40. It was unique in that it had a rigid front and a suspended rare end. Then topping it all up with a moderate seat reclne angle of 33deg . It's a rare gem! If I was living in the USA and with the $$$$ I would buy it without hesitation.

Is this one sufficient for you? https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/s40-with-10-miles-for-sale.13060/unread

Mirrors should not worry you too much. For less than $20 you can get mirrors with variable height from ebay. So, first get the handlebars at the most comfortable position then get an appropriate mirror. For example I use like the one below, I can adjust the height as needed...

Looks very nice!

I'd say : My performance on a regular bike is just regular, but my performance on a cuzbike is just cruzin' !

Wow!
