As I say to people who cast a skeptical eye at my Vendetta "There is no downside to fast AND comfortable".

That looks very aero with the curved front of the pannier bags!! What make? http://shop.cycledifferent.com/angletech-angletech-techwind-panniers.html

I took my Silvio 1.0 out for an overnight, non supported camping trip to Willamette Mission state park which is 20 miles north of Salem, OR. I have never done an overnighter on any of my Cruzbikes so this is a first. I had a rear rack that I modified some to fit as close as possible to the seat...

I've said this before and it might be of help. For better grip on the bars try a pair of light weight, full fingered cycling gloves. I like the kind without the gel padding.

Maybe this would work for you...

I have a 1.0 that I purchased slightly used about 3 years ago. It's a pretty good little bike. I just had it out yesterday for a 40 miler and did a 55 mile ride on it a last week. I have it set up with fenders so I call it my foul weather and social bike. It is not as comfortable or fast as my...

Had this happen on my Freerider. I took a couple of links out of the chain and that stopped it.

My Vendetta has made me a faster rider at age 73 than I was 30 years ago on my Italian road bike.

Rick, I forgot to mention that I find that wearing full finger cycling gloves helps maintain my grip on the bars. During the summer I wear light weight ones with no extra padding.

That's interesting chicorider. Robert Holler told me to treat the handlebars as if one were doing isometric exercises although I can see how these two pieces of advice can be complimentary though I would substitute green bananas for ripe ones :) I took it to mean to have a firm but not overly...

What Tiltmaniac said.

I don't see any instructional video on climbing technique. Actually I don't see how a video would be of much help. I think climbing prowess develops when one becomes comfortable with the bike and is able to put full power to the pedals and still keep steering in a straight line. Practice...

After learning how to pedal & steer the Cruzbike, learning how to climb hills is the next learning curve. This has been my personal experience and my observation when introducing others to the FWD, MMB platform. I think some of the problem is initial reluctance to commit oneself to utilizing the...

So I went out with the group of semi fast riders last Saturday for my 2nd ride since having 2 surgeries for bladder cancer. This was a hilly ride to Kings Valley, a little community tucked in the Oregon Coast Range foothills. The first big climb was Wren Hill on Hwy 20 just west of Philomath. I...

I have been using Shimano SPD's since they first hit the scene in the early 90"s. As to how durable they are I still have 3 pairs of the original M737's, 1 pair each on my Silvio and my Vendetta and the spare as a back up. They are very easy to service. I change the cleats out and grease the...

Jeremy, Prior to the Freerider my townie/shopping bike was a Trek Soho. That was a nice bike - aluminum frame, 8 spd internal gear hub and carbon belt drive but I found the Freerider to just be so much more fun (gotta love swooping through turns with those wide ape hanger bars) plus it was...

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did Jeremy. I purchased it 3 years ago from a man in Albany along with his Silvio 1.0. It still has the original tires so probably doesn't have more than a couple thousand miles on it. I now have a T50 along with the Silvio and a Vendetta. I'm sorry I wasn't in...
