V20 .

V seat pad follow up I got the Ventisit pad for the Vendetta seat earlier this week. A better solution for a thin pad than the zote foam strips I tried. The Vetisit pad Bart manufactured is a very close match to the shape of the Vendetta seat. I live in a humid climate area and the pad is...

Last week I sent a scaled drawing of the Vendetta seat to Bart at Ventisit to inquire if he was capable to produce a seat pad to match the shape. Bart produced a seat pad and sent me a photo. He did an excellent job and the seat pads are now available at Ventesit. I'll be using a 2cm...

Excellent Bike John Hi John & Jim, My V is set up as a 40K time trial race bike. If I was an ultra racer I'd be using a thicker seat pad. The handlebar modification tucks in my arms and hands for a compact riding position. The hydration pack, pump and tools will be placed in back of the...

Finally got the bike assembled and dialed in. Took about 30 minutes practice to get familiar with starting technique. I am using quarter inch zote foam strips for the seat pad as I do not want to loose power transfer with a thick cushion seat pad. I eventually will make two minimal size...

I fabricated a carbon fiber headrest for the Vendetta. The production aluminum headrest was quite a bit higher than the custom headrest. The production headrest pushed my head forward and did not allow my upper torso to fully recline. As a result I did not have upper torso support on the...

I finished my drop V-Bars tonight. The drop depth on this bar allows my hands to be lower than the production handlebars. My hands are now level with my shoulders which reduces my front profile and benefits overall aerodynamics. I also have a bit more arm extension. Another positive factor of...

Vendetta no longer for sale With very little to no interest in the "for sale" listing of the Vendetta I have decided to keep the bike and modify it. The Vendetta is no longer for sale.

"he saying 5' 11" is not tall." I am not interesting in debating height on a "for sale" forum. My intent is to sell a bike by posting the info on a "for sale" thread. I have a Cruzbike Vendetta for sale priced less than the product listed at this link...

5FT 11INCHES IS NOT SHORT AND "5ft 11inches is not short and either 42.5 inch x seam." The bike is no different than the bike Maria or Jim rode. The bottom bracket can be moved 4.5 inches closer to the seat than I currently have it set at. The bike I am selling is the same exact...

"Do you know what your x-seam is?" 42.5"

I am 5' !1' and have no problem with bike fit. Plenty of adjustment both fore and aft for bottom bracket position. The bike will fit riders taller or shorter than my height. I posted the bike for sale as my interested have changed including the time I have available for riding bikes.

Yes the bike is for sale. I decided to no longer ride recumbents and have no plans to keep the bike.

Dan, I will post a photo Dan, I will post a photo sometime in the future. I have to mill extensions on a lathe to alter the bullhorn. No width change. Same length and reach as the Vendetta bars. Only difference is my fore arms will not contact the bar with the drop curve. BTW, I read...

Hi John, As you suggest I Hi John, As you suggest I will ride with bars you designed. In due time, I will try a modified bullhorn. I am in no rush to change anything as I am still in the setup process. Excellent suggestion with changing the bolts for the headrest. I will give this a try...

I plan to make 3 minor changes on my Vendetta. I am going to lower my hand position slightly by using a modified Deda drop bullhorn. To use the bullhorn I have to make it a bit longer. I will mill 2 aluminum extensions to add a bit of length and keep my arms extended. Cables will be...
