... I'm not near my bike and don't recall the details, but you can see some pictures of my trunk/saddlebag and mountain-bike-style rack here (last two pictures...
Tom, The main reason I bought the cruzbike was so that I could get an Xtracycle setup while still enjoying recumbency, so you might want to consider that. You...
xlez, I live in Michigan. The crank length is 170. I do not know the exact cogset; it is the standard set that comes with the Shimano Ultegra groupset. If you...
John, I am very interested in how your ecospeed mod turns out. I just bought a Softrider V2, got it put together last Saturday, and have put about 70 miles...
Thanks to all of you for the good advices you gave me. All the responses I received seem to agree that the solution to the recumbent butt problem lies mainly...
Another vote for seat angle.The Cruzbike seat laid back around 40 degrees is as good a seat as I have found.I never get recumbent butt anymore. The seat on my...
I appreciate your honest thoughts, not that others who have expressed their opinion, are not honest. Thanks ... -- Bill from Sebastian Giant OCR2 Mongoose...
I just depends on what you want. If it's a light weight fast bike that can be outfitted with high end components then it's the Silvio. If it's commuting...
Tom, In your opinion, how much of a biking difference is there between the two rides? And would you go back to the Sofrider? -- Bill from Sebastian Giant OCR2...
... When my but gets too bad, or my feet sleep too much, then i just take a short ~1 minute stop where i stand up, dismount and walk around. Sometimes i need...

I had the Sofrider for about 18 months and about 3500 miles before purchasing the Silvio. I was happy with the Sofrider but just wanted to step up. One of...
Indeed, tilting the seat back will help tremendously! I have ridden nearly every type of 'bent there is and own 6 different ones. My Cruzbike conversion (see...
Hi Laurent, Â This can be improved by moving the lower seat pan to the front-most mounting holes on the seat bracket, and reclining the seat near 45 degrees....
How long did it take for you to convert over to the Silvio? I am in the middle of saving my pennies to buy the frameset. Bill ... -- Bill from Sebastian Giant...
Now that I have the Silvio I ride it most. Sometimes when I commute to work and don't already have clothes there, I ride the Sofrider V2 because I can carry...
I had this problem as well. The first thing I did was put memory foam in the seat bottom. That helped some. The greatest help, however, was leaning the...
Hi! Yesterday I experienced like you did the Recumbutt with my Sofrider V2. I had my longest ride since I own it. After 3 hours of riding with a 15 ninute...

Very nice bike. Using a rigid front fork can lower the overall height of the bike, and lowering the rear shock adjustment can get you a reasonable seat height....
I've got a gently used Cruzbike conversion kit I'd like to sell. I modified the seat a little so I could mount it lower, and I improved how the chainstay...
An addition to my message is that the donor bike I used already had disc brakes. ... Yep - I also tried to get disc brakes on both wheels but as the front fork...
