    Scammers

    That seller is me. The reason I asked for remittance in full or cash up front if you prefer is that the buyer, underpressure, responded with no questions asked about my bike or the accessories offered which I found kinda strange. The other thing is when I searched for underpressure's profile I...

    Rare Silvio 1.0 for sale

    I am selling my Silvio 1.0 for $800 + shipping. It is a zippy little bike with a comfortable 45 deg seat and dual suspension (air shock fork and elastomer rear). I added a chainstay extender ($100) to lower the handlebars and improve the handling. This can be easily removed if needed. I am 5' 9"...

    Who is the Cruzbike IT person? Ratz, can you fix this?

    Map of Cruzbikers

    How is this Connect With Owners site working out? Has anybody been contacted by a prospect? I pulled up the map but clicking on the spots where I could supposedly contact an owner just gave me a grayed out useless screen.

    Map of Cruzbikers

    Not sure if I'm signed up or not. I entered info & photos of 3 of my current Cruzbikes but since I'm using my desktop it wouldn't affirm the 6 digit code sent to my phone to allow me to finish.

    S40 Build Options

    Yes, that was my experience also - that the headrest on the S40 is way too far back and can't be adjusted. This has led to a number of customers purchasing the adjustable headrest. However, the stock headrest can be made to work. You just need to work on it. The foam in the headrest is 10.5"...

    V20 nice to have items

    Get 2 Zefal Spy mirrors and mount them on the brifters. They allow you to easily see what's behind you with just a slight glance to the side and placing them on the brifters keeps them out of the wind stream.

    Is Ontario (Canada) Cruzbikeless?

    I'm no spring chicken either. I'm 79 and I love fast rides.

    Is Ontario (Canada) Cruzbikeless?

    The problem with prospective buyers wanting to try out a Cruzbike is that a Cruzbike initially feels so different from a legacy bike which can be so disconcerting that the prospect figures they can never surmount the learning curve and gives up on the spot. Unless there is a patient and...

    S40 in Eugene

    A friend alerted me to this S40 for sale on Craigslist. I imagine he prefers not to ship so is anyone out there in Oregon looking for an S40?

    V20 front tire suddenly lost pressure and I crashed.

    It's not entirely true that with tubeless you will never pinch flat. I switched over to tubeless on my V a few years ago when it was becoming all the rage to do so. Coming home from a long ride I turned onto a bike path and hit an inch high concrete lip at low speed. Twin streams of sealant shot...

    descending fear

    I have found the one thing that scares me on my V20 is how sketchy it feels on fast downhill runs. It feels like the slightest side to side movement of the front wheel will send me careening off the road. I've always felt that a Viscoset headset on the V might dampen the steering enough to...

    T50 derailleur hanger?

    I bent the hanger on my T50 once. I was working at a bike shop at the time and I just used our derailleur alignment tool to set it straight again, no problem.

    CRASH on my new V20c

    I'm not sure about that. We were on a bike tour of the Great Divide route, camped outside Yellowstone when a porcupine began chewing on the plywood siding covering a fiberglass porti potty making a terrible racket. I got out of my sleeping bag and sprayed it with my bear spray. It just hung...

    Help me decide - Q45 vs Bachetta Giro

    There is a video of Robert Holler climbing a steep dirt grade on a T50 electric assist. With 2 wheel drive it can practically climb a wall! They were sold for awhile and you can find one a used now & then or just make your own. I would say a Cruzbike is a better climber on paved roads than the...

    Help me decide - Q45 vs Bachetta Giro

    I have climbed some switchbacked logging roads out here in OR on my T50. I would say I was at the limit of traction and was surprised that I was able to make the climb. However, where you will really have trouble is starting from a dead stop on a steep gravel road. No matter how gently you try...

    Silvio Pictorial History - Request pics and info from the tribe

    This was my first Cruzbike, a Silvio 2.0 I purchased new in 2013. I had never test rode or even seen a Cruzbike before. Since all my previous recumbents came stock with triple chainrings I ordered it with an Ultegra triple ring setup. It took me a few months to get acclimated to this strange...

    Silvio Pictorial History - Request pics and info from the tribe

    Photos of my Silvio 1.0 I purchased from a nearby gentleman who was aging out of biking. I also purchased a Freerider from him which I donated to our community bike shop once I replaced it with a T50. I once took it on an overnight camping trip (I can hear Robert gnashing his teeth up in...

    What Is The Reason for the Aluminum Element in V20 Frame?

    I can think of a few reasons. Because it would only add cost and not make a dime's worth of performance difference. Because aluminum holds up better than CF in an accident. Get a deep scratch in a carbon bike and it's trashed. Because the buzz around carbon builds are just the way the bike...
