Hey Steve, I am a big fan of the B&M Cyclestar mirrors. I have one on the Red bike that I modified to remove all the stem parts; the mirror is popped onto the...
Bill, I really must agree with PQA here. Though I haven't rode much over the last years, I used to be a very avid rider, but time, work, family and house took...
Don, Thanks for posting throughout your learning time. I have been reading with great interest. Your detailed posts are the type I want to encourage from...
I've been riding my Klein Cruzbike about 5 weeks now 15 miles per day on flat roads and bike/golfcart paths at an average speed of 16 - 17 mph. I've built up...
I'm wondering if anyone has done the conversion on a bike without rear suspension. I've got a 05 Diamondback Edgewood I'd like to do the conversion on, but it...
Hi Barry, The first Cruzbike I built, the blue bike in this picture: http://sports.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cruzbike/photos/view/c1fe?b=6&m=f&o=0 was built on...
Jack, Last night I remounted my fiberglass hardshell seat an additional inch forward and added a layer of minicell high density foam under the 2-inch open cell...
After riding bents for 20 years (I've been riding the first Vision R40 that came off the assembly line), it seems like time for something new... and I just...
Barry: I’m nearing completion of a conversion to a frame with no suspension. My first Cruzbike used a frame with rear suspension and I am foregoing that to...
Hey Carl, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, given that your steel bike was gorgeous, and I've seen a picture of the Mach 2 you built. It'll also...
Steven, You and I are the same height, so I expect your experiences might be similar to mine. You'll want to hold your seat height to 25" or less if you can....
... at the ... Thanks Jack... Great suggestions. I'll keep my eyes open for something <18" and lighter than steel. I've been looking on Craigslist as well....
Thanks, Doug! I'm starting to get the hint about what to look for and will definitely check out the Walmart bike (it's easy to get good components in this...
I was able to complete my change-over to an aluminum frame today. I posted a picture in a new album called "Carl's Re-conversion". I'll post some progress...
I can't seem to find the original post in this thread; so, forgive me: the fault is mine. For what it's worth, then.... Prelude: I loved my old steel ten-speed...
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. And I DID practice today, and it is getting a little easier, each time that I get on the bike. I'm confident...
After months of having received my kit, waiting for the conversion to be finished, silently reading away posts to the group, which by the way has been very...
Hi Leon: Your bike turned out very nice. Part of the fun, for me anyway, is learning something new. The Cruzbike gives this opportunity for a rewarding...
Carl, Love the hardtail bike! Very clever use of the rear brake bosses - I'm betting that seat is a "ride all day" item. You have a great standard of...
Leon, A wonderful story, and a text-book Y-26 conversion - very very nice bike. I was last in Mexico City in 1975, what a great place to ride a bike. You'l...
Hello group, I have been scavenging this week and found a MTB rear wheel on Craig's list, and it mounted easily with a QR on the back. This was the solution to...
Greetings, I have been following this forum for a couple of months now. It has been very helpful. Sad to report, but I am going to sell my cruzbike ...
Steve, After reading your message in which you are sharing your riding past, I thought that I would like to make a short response: I learned how to ride a bike...
