Hi Douglas, Thanks for filling me in about that bike. It sure does look great even if the picture has been edited. I thought the frame was specifically made...
Hi Ed, Happy New Year! Yes, I edited the bottom bracket out of the picture, along with some other things. I wanted to see what a purpose-built Cruzbike frame ...
Hi Doug! First of all, Happy New Year to you and all! ... I was sure fooled that it was a purpose built frame for a Cruzbike kit. It's amazing what software...
Hi Ed, I know that John has put a huge amount of thought and work into the kit you can currently buy, and as a professional management consultant, he has a...
Very interesting, looks lightweight & small. I think, I'll buy one to try. Oh yeah, eBay has them CLICK HERE, (over 100 available). Fairwinds, T:)ny...
Doug, Hey if you wind up with some spare 24" wheels on hand let me know.... :) Just like me to go with the unorthodox wheel size on this thing... :) I sent an...
This interesting question was asked: i'd be interested in making an upright/recumbent convertible touring bike (pulling a trailer). Or in other words, ride...
I ride most weekends with our local HPV group. We have a good mix of riders and bikes. Today, two logo trikes two greenspeed trikes two racing bikes one LWB...
I am wanting to upgrade this - the one I have is a POS and it is impossible to keep adjusted for some reason...... :) Any suggestions? I think It needs to be...
LOL... OK, In a few email discussions back and forth with some guys who build custom wheelsets, they mention that the easiest way to get a QR setup for the...
Just spent 2 1/2 hours with a bit of wet n dry talking out some scratches from my aluminum frame before it goes off to be shot blasted and powder coated blue,...
OK, Once again when I think all options are too expensive or too much hassle my LBS guy comes through.... I went there to have him true up my wheels a bit, and...
... blasted ... all ... Martin, Cool! I will like to hear how the 7 speed hub works out! In my free time I picked up a new cycle computer, blinkie lights,...
Robert I did a weeks cycling last year with the Nexus hub up some very large hills see: Hartside Pass that was a long hill, there were steeper ones I was with...
... The Honda is a steel frame bike right? Take the rear wheel out, lie the bike down and jump on rear triangle! OK, so maybe you not as crude as I was...
Good you mentioned the rear triangle was steel, doing it with Aluminum and you'll do mega damage. It never donned on me to compress a rear triangle (am more...
Hi Joshua, Yes the V brakes do still align. THe issue to watch is if the drop outs become non-parallel. Looking at the unitary triangle/swing arm, where will...
Actually after giving this some thought - it seems nice to leave the rear at 135mm - and simply use a rear hub - and have the capability to add the Aria drum...
This ride was the most enjoyable ever. I was able to keep up with all but the few fast riders. Everyone was very sociable and I caught up with most people as...
OK. Seems it is quite varied in the world of derailleurs out there..... I am eyeing this unit. It seems to have a long cage - though it doesn't say if it is...
Hi Robert, see .. on the picture .. you can see the bolt that holds the cable and its at the top. A pretty strong clue that its a bottom pull. I like the...
Hi Guys, The only issue I've run into with bottom-pull derailleurs is they're usually designed to use a cable guide that goes around the bottom bracket. This...
Hmmm, OK so I need to find a top pull that has the longest cage possible that can work on the triple it seems like. I know there has to be something - the...
I think I put a Deore "top pull bottom swing long cage triple chainwheel deraileur" [now take a breath] on the rtrmag bike. It comes with shims that allow it...
John, Cool. I think I have narrowed down to this one: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?SKU=19736&estore_ID=260 It is a Shimano Ultegra 6600...
He all, Sorry to revive this oldie but goodie.... but with some Holday cash I have burning a hole in my wallet I am going to upgrade my bottom bracket here...
Hi Robert, The 105 Triple front derailleur is a bottom-pull design. The Rivendell Bikes site says this about it: "This one's for three rings up front and big,...
Hi Again, Robert, As you've discovered, road cranksets are built with a smaller "Q- factor", which means the crank arms run closer to the frame to reduce the...
