In Houston. Any interest? Offers?

Is there anyone who can give an opinion comparing these two machines?

I crashed today with my front wheel finding a gap in the road and me smacking into a curb. The front wheel is now impeding the frame and I assume the rod between the boom and the fork is bent, has anyone else had this problem and have a suggestion as to a fix?

I have reached the conclusion which many of you probably arrived at aeons ago, that the muscles used by a standard bike rider - pushing down - compared with a recumbent rider - pushing out - means that the transition from a standard to a vendetta is a slow process. The glutes, hamstrings and...

Possible V buyer. Something astounding happened today, a friend who has a stable of bents wanted to try out my Vendetta and - extraordinarily - he got on a rode it perfectly having never been on a cruz bike before, he even rode it better than me - the dog! Anyway, he now wants to buy one, so...

I've finally decided the Vendetta is not designed for carrying much other than a few bits and pieces. I bought a BUC seat bag bag from Bent up cycles thinking it would work or I could make it work, but it has a sleeve designed for the wide seat of Bachetta bikes and it is not stable on the V...

I'm not sure where to dump this, so I'll try here: Do the experts agree that when riding a V - laying almost flat in an absurd position - that the hands should just be feathering the handlebars? I'm still in the 'yanking' (careful how you say that) state where I pull back on the handlebar as I...

Has anyone else had trouble trying to buy items from the Cruzbike shop? It seems like drawing teeth to get any information out of them. The photos on the site of the product are minimal at best and there are no details such as one would expect to find on an on-line shop, and when asking for more...

Do an V users have experience with the 'Suspension Adjustable Headrest' sold by Cruzbikes? I need a headrest higher than the headrest that comes with the bike and so looked at the accessories available and found the above item. The issue for me is that the vertical piece of (plastic?) on...

Hello everyone, It's been a few months since I last tried out the vendetta, the weather is slightly cooler now so ultra distance riding is back on the calendar. But I NEED HELP!!! Sorry, didn't mean to shout but I am so frustrated I could cry or spit or do something really rude in the...

The winter has been somewhat wet, but now I'm getting the Vendetta (purchased a few months ago) out to give it a try and am having some difficulties with my position on it. I've taken a few photos to show the problem but the error message is saying the files are too large. I'll try to find a...

I know many if not all of you know this one, but does anyone have a close-up photo of the Vendetta front derailleur installed? For the life of me, I cannot get the thing mounted the way it needs to be. I'm well aware of the chain drive order - chain ring to following arm cog to main...

Vendetta for sale next September I have a demo model Vendetta coming my way which I plan to sell-on next September. I have a specific short term need for the bike and will sell it for about $2,400 in August/ September with the buyer paying the shipping. If there is an interest at this...

I'd be interested in the experience of recumbent riders who used to ride standard bikes. Speaking to a dealer yesterday, he was of the opinion that it takes a new recumbent rider 3 - 6 months before the muscles are retrained to ride a recumbent bike to the same speed as the standard. Is...

Earlier this year someone in Oklahoma had a vendetta for sale and we exchanged emails but I have lost all of his information (bloody computer!!). If you are that person and still have the vendetta for sale, could you advise please. Thanks.

I don't know if I'm getting any closer to obtaining a Vendetta, but to repeat a question asked before on this forum, do any owners of Vendettas have any info on what it takes to transport a vendetta by air and by vehicle? I can put my standard bike in the back of a car with the front wheel...

Please make it easier to post to the forum, how the hell do I know what the 'contact' question is? Sorry to sound annoyed, but really!!

Most people taking up recumbents seem to do so after suffering or experiencing some kind of injury, making riding a standard bike painful. It appears that recumbents become the ride of last resort. But is it always the case? The UCI banned recumbents in the early part of the 20th century...

I want to ride faster, I have enough standard bikes, I need a total knee replacement (surgery coming up) and I like the idea of a front wheel drive bent. The question is - since it is all so very expensive - how much of the bike do I need to buy on-line? Is it just the frame? I presume I...
