New V20c

[Colin Goddard]

Well, after a month wait, my new (standard complete) V20c arrived in Holland. Fell off twice at the bike shop trying to get the correct adjustments made and now after two days I can wobble around our harbor. Still need to complete the training plan, but it already seems faster than my old Scorpion trike. Nice design job by CB but the price in the NL after the exchange rate and value added tax is exorbitant. However, if one is lucky enough to have the cash, it is an amazing bike. Just hope that I can get some miles on it before the weather changes.w

She's a BEAUT Colin! Can't wait to read of your experiences with her and to see her transformation as your get her ready for the ball.

Oh wow... I see the front brake cable has been rather well hidden. Is the front fork hollow or does it just run down the hidden side of the fork? Looks incredibly beautiful!

Looks great! Enjoy going fast on it!

Hi David, the break cable and derailleur cable run though each fork and exit out of the central post. See photos. They did a nice job.

For a couple of seconds when every felt right, it felt as if I was flying. Then the wobbles came and all was lost……

Keep at it. It gets better and better...

Once I could ride my Quest 451 well enough to take it on quiet roads, I was concerned about how much I unintentionally drifted left and right in the lane. One day, a few months later, I realized I wasn't drifting any worse than I had done on my road bike. So I relaxed and quit thinking so much about it...and of course that led to my riding a straighter line.

I knew I had made real progress riding a Cruzbike about six months in. I was riding in an event on a rail-trail in south Mississippi. I found myself behind a tandem going up and down the long grades into the next town. I wasn't even thinking about wobbling, just holding their wheel, "flying" (for me) at 18 mph on the downhills.

Pure bike porn. Ooooooow. I want it.

Someone should get an award for the cables. Bike looks amazing. Only thing that could improve it is mudguards tied on with fence wire.

Thanks. I will get there; just need to ride and ride again.....

How does the headset preload work?

Edit: Never mind, found it here.
