Cruzbike should ship (espcially the framsets) directly from Taiwan for their international customers who are not in the North or South American continents. I think there was a time they used to do that.

Nice!

It would be interesting to know which recumbent position requires the least level of adaption to generate similar(not exact) levels of power at the pedals if one switches from a standard racing upright road bicycle. I know it may be subjective but there seems to me to be a certain optimum...

Nice action pictures! Strangly enough, there are not many pictures of S40/S30 with a rider in action. And you could have been even faster with less buggier shorts and that water bottle on the rear seat stays mounted behind the seat, away from the wind instead!

If you were to ride an 80 to 100 mile route with mixed terrain, some steep short 10%+ climbs and long moderate 4-5-6% climbs and some flat sections in equal messure, which do you think will have a better time with all else equal? Silvio-S30V2, S40, or V20?

Congratulations! Nice build with bar end shifters too! Must be lightweight. The more you ride the stronger you will get!

Yeah! , but not mine though :).

I came a cross this interrestting study https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1093&context=pes_facpub It shows that a hip angle of 75 deg relative to the line parallel to the BB is the most optimum for power production. Having also read some tests and studies by...

Nice build with nice color contrast between the black and yellow; love it . However, in my opinion, your steerer setup is very long and high becuase the handlebar is facing backwards. It will not be a very efficient climber. There will be power losses due to flex . You want the minimum...

Looks like the handlebar is facing the wrong direction? No clearance for the leg.

:emoji_pray:Pictures please!

Very creative setup.

There are lots of Youtube videos: Just search "cruzbike" : https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=EgIQAQ%3D%3D&search_query=cruzbike There are also lots of videos on homemade cruzbike clones and similar designs. My favourite are "Rev" MBB models by Marco Ciccio ( Marco Ruga)...

Acceleration will be affected by the weight. It's not a criterium bike for sure. But the key thing is to dial in the fit to the point that you can almost generate the same power as you did on the DF. Focus on fit, i.e. optimum hip angle, leg extension, arm extension and shoulder suport e.t.c...

Another weekend group ride! Enjoy!

:emoji_joy: .. I love the detailed photo but the words do help too :D

Wow! beautiful bike! Looks like the seat is now at 28 degs or so. Not very far from a V20.

Welcome back @ratz ... now probably we will have some more goofy videos of your bike rides and detailed bike builds!

Do your slow speed drills/starts and stops with them until unclipping becomes completely natural. Otherwise, try toe clips without straps or with loose straps for sometime. We are all different but I practiced my slow speed drills, starts and stops nearly three times a week for more than a...

Congratulations! A little tip that you probably already know: I sit up when riding over rough patches. I keep my phone , zipped inside a frame bag, sometimes padded by a spare tube.
