Yes - the rear is 100mm same as the Q and S

Attaching an aftermarket seat - like a hardshell - to the A4x and simply using a different stock diameter 31.2mm tube bent to a different angle to get to 30 degrees would actually be exceedingly simple. The seat rail system (like on the newest T50 and also is on the Meta Mystique and all...

The air shock in mine failed over ten years ago. You can basically leave it (it wont move most likely) or you can lock it in the extended position with a stainless hose clamp (this is what I did) as mine was not "frozen" but had lost all its pressure and could move up and down (it also has...

If it is low mileage and in great shape it is a VERY GOOD first recumbent. One of the reasons I sill baby mine - it is one of my favorite Cruzbikes and one of the best recumbents of the era. It is pre-hydroformed frame design and a real gem. Dual 700c. Lots of positives of this bike. It's just...

There might be some suspension forks around but I cannot guarantee it. That is a VERY early Silvio - it is likely nearing 20 years old - when there were literally often ZERO "spare parts" made for the batches of bikes - and the batches of bikes you could sometimes count on two or three hands...

NICE!!!!

Here are some pics of my experience trying to fit the Growtac caliper. As you can see it would not seat properly and the top interfered just a bit. Also in my case the lower part would contact the gear - even if it didn't have the upper interference. The folks at Bimotal confirmed with me after...

I can confirm with you that the Growtac does NOT fit. I was doing a rear fit attempt on the S40. Indeed our dropouts are not technically designed for rotors that massive - becasue why would they be - though on my A4x there is a few mm clearance for the Bimotal rotor. It's not ideal but would...

If there is a lot of rust I would replace the bolts - less for breakage but more that they will sieze up in the clamp.

Cat is out of the bag with your post - the Bimotal is the system I have been messing with. If you can figure out a mechanical caliper that works let me know. The company has offered to help design a specific mount for us that will work with all our current modes other than the V. The challenge...

The s The stock setup chainline looks to be right around the 46mm mark. Robert

They are the stiffener strips to add shape to the bag - they go on the inside. I have an install video on the YouTube but maybe it isn't live on there yet.

Thanks for posting your build and also the patience as we work through the packing issues on some small items like the washers for the skewers, etc. For a new model there are always a few small hitches the first go around. The bottle cage bolts look to be a manufacturing defect - I just did an...

Other than the long wheelbase days of old - ideal bottle positioning has always been something of a trade off with recumbent bikes. Nearly all recumbents go for a behind the seat solution. Another possibility you CAN do is on the top of the boom as you mentioned, and also the Q has enough room...

Mounting to the back of the seat with the spacer works great. Personally I drill lower holes for an easier reach.

It does not appear to me that there is room in the dropout notch for a 15mm hub cap. Also pics of the brake mounts - flat mount with both front and rear using the same adapter (this is the same as on the Q and the S. Robert

BB - 68MM English Thread Brakes - calipers are DOA - there are "mounts" but the lust for wide/larger tires moves them too far away for calipers to be used (on ANY bikes) - the disc mounts are flat mount style. Wheels - 142x12mm drive and 100x12mm rear. There is a notch there but I would have...

The order page goes live on the 17th. If you are on the email list you can get in on a few bonus "coupons" (not sure for the frame set though) so it is worth to sign up for that email ASAP.

For the Q45. It is a GREAT bike. I have one personally (with 406 wheels and 2" Big Apples it is my neighborhood cruiser) and I rode the Q45 on RAGBRAI last year. It was very comfy. That said, it is a legacy OG bike as far as the main frame and the design is pushing the limits of time. The frame...

Same dropouts as the Q and S as far as size. So all models are not through axle 12mmx100mm and 12mm x 142mm Frame set includes the headset installed.
