I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

- Let it be known - I find No garage offensive when it has one or more Cruzbike's decorating it.

Hear Hear!

So the Cruzbike Cave (basement project) build will be delayed as well?

Maybe he could mount the spare bikes on the living room walls as bike art!!

The cave is live and well with trainers and bikes. Just lacks walls, doors, ceiling, flooring, but we have extension cords and lights.

Spare bike; what's that? Aussie for "neglected beloved"

 

[jond]

electric green must be seen. hurry up already. so cruel reminding larry of the bouncing bike . well done on the move to your new bike castle. transform that cave to a dungeon asap.

(btw Eric and Rick will no doubt find this garage setup more offensive than the old one, so at least that goal is done)

Tis not offense but admiration and envy....

Well then Eric, you must be "electric green" with envy then....

 

[ratz]

Yep just felt a tremor in the force as if all the cruzbikers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly hiding their wallets. hmmm I wonder if I can still afford to take the kids to the force awakens tomorrow....

There will be photos and you will want to look away, but you know you wont...

Now someone give me SRAM's phone number. A guy can't build a bike without no shifters....

I'm thinking whitebox photos this time and maybe it's time for another build diary on BROL just to make some CB envy.

 

[Rick Youngblood]

Yes yes, please. Bring it on!

 

[Eric Winn]

Tease...

 

[ratz]

Boom Boom ain't it great to be crazy.
Giddy and foolish the whole day through

or at least that's how winter is going to go. Curved booms are in route; can't wait to get my hands on those and check them out. Frame's in route; then there will be that dam long weight for the drive train to be available.

With ALL that extra time on your hands, are you getting the wheel hubs and rims painted as well?

What colour are the LONELY brake cables going to be?
OR has/is SRAM come out with wireless operated brakes as well?

Or perhaps they where ordered last year with color choices that had this in mind..

Going to be weird to have a bike with TWO and only TWO cables.

Maybe while we wait I'll configure them as fixies.

 

[super slim]

Will it be with a rear derailleur for chain tension and just one rear sprocket and one front wide /narrow COLOURED chainring???

This devices does not make sense for me on Vendetta. You have handlebar and your displays on eyes without any head movement. Only time when I don't see my displays is climbing in sitting possition. In this situation I miss mirrors but not my displays.
For me it is not a question "what to add", but "what to remove".

Rear facing radar integration has me intrigue. I still get surprised by cars on long section of quite country roads. When someone over takes you doing 80mph after not seeing a car for 15 minutes; that can be a bit un-nevering

I must have my handle bars lower than the rest of you; If I look at my Garmin 1000 which is mount in landscape mode and sits below the top of boom out of the air wash; then I really loose focus on the road ahead; and that's when I usually hit a big pot hole.

But I get you port snilard simple is still better unless a considerable problem is removed.

Not seeing a car for 15 minutes, this can happen only between 2AM and 4AM on most roads in Czech Republic. And on the roads where you can legaly cycle there is ~56 mph speed limit. So on stright part, cars are overtaking you at ~62 mph. Little bit different situation. Radar integration is only usage that make sense to me.
From the accident I use two mirrors. And I am not checking it only while climbing is seating position but in this low speed I can hear every car.

15 minutes is a LOOOONG time to wait for a car! Even so, on the A12, a dual carriageway that runs through London and Essex, they sometimes go by at a hell of a lick, and they don't even change lanes. Un-nerving? I should cocoa!

Articulated lorries always change lanes. Every one. Even the Polish ones.

So I probably shouldn't mention I can ride in a straight line for 30min - 1 hour without a single left or right turn nor a curve on some of our roads?
