    V20 Hand Painted Edition for Sale - SOLD

    I love this bike, but I've decided to sell it for several reasons. Traffic is getting worse around here. Too many inattentive and malicious people on the roads. My knee has been giving me problems and I haven't been able to train very much this year. And I've gotten the golf bug. This is a hand...

    Bike MS New Bern, NC 9/10-9/11 - First English Century on V20

    This event is a charity ride benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. They raise close to $2 million every year from about 2000 riders. It's a flat, rural course. I completed my first 100 mile ride on the V20. I started in a group of about 70-80 riders. I was riding the only...

    Riding with DF groups

    My apologies if this has been covered before. I couldn't find anything in search. I'm wondering what others do when riding socially with a group of DF riders. Do you hang in the back and enjoy the draft? Do you mix in with the pace line, even though the guy behind you is missing out on drafting...

    First group ride

    I took my new Vendetta out for it's first real shakedown cruz yesterday. I rode 30 miles with a slow-ish group. The route had several long hills, a handful of dogs off leash, and quite a bit of chip seal. But the weather was perfect and I had no serious mishaps with the bike. Except the time I...

    Flipped by a Vendetta

    I was practicing riding with one hand in the local parking lot last night. Everything was going great and I was getting pretty confident. Then I got a little too confident. I still tend to get leaned in to the turn on left hand turns. So I was going faster, steering with my right hand and...

    First ride

    I got my V20 put together and took it to the local school parking lot. I started on the Prescribed Method For Learning to Ride a Cruzbike. Coasted down the parking lot with my feet in the air several times. Like a drunken sailor. It's very disconcerting not being able to shift your weight to...

    Ultegra 6800 FD - please help

    The installation instructions call for a tool (TL-FD68) to determine whether to set the converter on or off when attaching the FD cable. I don't have one of those tools. Anyone here build a V20 with Ultegra 6800 and have experience with this? Regards, Mark
