Hey Cruzers, Lets all go out to Palm Springs and do their big ride in Febuary. Its Feb 11th this year and there will probably be 7000+ riders there. I bet if we try, we can even talking Jim and Maria into coming...if we REALLY try, those of us who are interested in helping Maria take back...

Eliptical Here's a picture

Well I've taken the plunge. After years of reading about them, I finally worked up the courage, (and cash) to buy a set of oblong chain rings. I bought a set of the adjustable ones from Q Rotor a Spanish Mfg., through my local bike shop. After a helpful conversation with Maria P. (aka Queen...

An even better question is, "Will she have a team to work with this year"?

First 100 miles Hey Kidneyboy, I do know what you mean about the road bike feel. The more confident I get on my 2006 Silvio, (I'm at about 600 miles) the more agressive it feels. It is still way more willing to carve deeply into a corner than I am. The comparison between this and a DF...

Cruzbike training focus Hey Dan, Sounds like we both have the same vision of what makes a Cruzbike fun. The challenge of achieving excellence on the platform, is very appealing. I like the role of underdog. What do you think of focusing on the TTT next year? Why not join Jim and Maria as...

Silvio Pan Modifications Here are the pictures of my assult on this beautiful design. I agree that John's "fix" is much better, as it also would keep the rider more aero.

I'm excited to finally own a Silvio. However, I quickly found out, it dosen't fit me. When I stretched the boom out enough to get my legs right, the front of the seat cut into the bottom of my thighs. So I cut the seat to resemble the shape of a traditional bike seat, reshaped and sewed the...
