An iconic Cruzbike for sure! Matched the first one I had about 5 years ago. Ride quality - if you threw some 28mm tubeless wheels/tires on this baby with about 80psi, and a Ventist seat pad I think you would find the ride quality drastically improved. :rolleyes:

Hi Vaughn, Welcome to the Cruzbike tribe. All great comments so far from everyone. My 2 cents: Power: I think over time you will find that you will be able to apply pretty equal power to both sides as riding recumbent seems to not use the calf muscles as much. I any case the body is so...

You can't go wrong buying a bike from Gary - He was my introduction to Cruzbike 5 1/2 years ago - and also helped me purchase my first Cruzbike: a Silvo just like this, then 4 months later helped me swap all the components over to a Vendetta Frame. Master Craftsman and bike guru extraordinaire...

Yeah - that was a typo - corrected now - Yeah V20's are fast - but not that fast!

Yeah Mathew - seems like a lifetime ago. But it will only be 6 years this June when I go the Silvio. I do remember that first sub 5-hr Century and a ton of testing when I had both bikes in Oct for a week. I even remember barely eking out a sub 4-hr 40k on that Silvio. haha. I thought that was...

Matthew, You got one with "Champ" on it? I wonder if you got the wrong one? The overall winner was supposed to get a special one, but I never saw what the difference was. Peter - What did you get? .. Unfortunately mine is lost in the mail. It has apparently been traveling around the country in...

FYI - Many S40 setups have a 1x gearing like your V20. If you trade with "MariposaLand" you should be able to swap out all those components. That is actually what I did when i got my first Vendetta I had a Silvo 2.1 and trade with a guy that had a Vendetta. He sent me his bike and I swapped...

Welcome to the tribe!

Nice Medal - I have not received mine yet - Hmm - nor my shirt. Has anyone that order a shift received it yet?

Yeah but they are "easy" - between 150-170 avg watts - and usually just only 4 hours and change long. I am actually working while I ride if that tells you anything. haha. riding with that big "C" pace group I can average close to 25mph at that effort! Today I actually went "harder" - for a...

I tend to ride lots of base/endurance miles, plus I do some weight lifting on my legs or "tractor pulls" on the bike. This year I am doing the weights right now since I have to go to the gym to do PT on my shoulder from the rotator cuff/bicep tendon surgery. After about 3 weeks I am seeing some...

I don't have any plans for anything right now. Barely recovered from the summer one! haha.

I used to think wheel on trainers were pretty lame. But a friend just got a Wahoo Snap and rode my Vendetta on it. I was very impressed. Very quite and the power was very accurate too. I still think the direct drive are "better" but they are also more expensive. I would say that for minimal to...

This was for sale by the builder, and I tried to buy it while in France last year at the 2019 World Championships. He would not sell it to me because "I would not fit it". It is beautiful but built for 6' and taller riders. Bummer!

I had looked into them a long time ago but discounted them due to the weight and also that they don't appear to be designed with keeping someone cool in mind. They have to be so much more stout that cycling helmet for obvious reasons and the runs are so short (and it is cold) that they probably...

The "thing" I really want in a helmet right now is to have full covering from the face shield across my ears - to the back

Anybody tried one of these: https://www.rudyprojectna.com/products/the-wing?variant=31503717433409

If you can plan the Michigan ride Retreat near Hilton Head Island, I'll come! :rolleyes: Sounds like a new thread is being born!

She was a great woman, a credit to the sport - my condolences and prayers to her family and all affected by her passing

Where do you live in NC?
