Here's to Spring 2016. Let see your Spring Time Rides - any Cruzbike applies here folks.

Spring is not always green here.

Rick,

I spied your secret method to keep your V standing when not in motion, but how do you control the heavy, prone-to-swing front end?

 

[Rick Youngblood]

Looks stealthy Bob, I like the new paint scheme. Is that a canteen, cargo carrier in the rear cage?

Very carefully, only for pics. Any wind or off balance will topple the bike.
1. Get camera ready.
2. Set bike up.
3. Stand back.
4...and quickly take picture with right hand and grab bike with left hand before it hit the ground.

Otherwise, turn front wheel to opposite side of up stand, but only if wind is within reason.

Bluetooth stereo speaker system or the tunes on the back roads. Loud enough to enjoy not loud enough to come close to blocking out road noise.

Ah, that's right! That's got to be the most accessorized Vendetta on the planet . I can't think of anything to add other than a GoPro follow drone.

Hey now, I'm the spiller of the beans; no peaking. Imagine the footage someone might get if they happened to take a drone to a cruzbike event....

And those are not accessories; they are training ballast. Everyone once and a while I ride the bike stripped down and I'm shocked how light it is.

And that is how I got a great picture of the Silvio in mid fall to the ground.

Bike is too fast on it's own to capture so your going to have to deal with me in the picture.

[1happyreader]

New S30.

Robert,
tell us about your wheels !
They are eye catching .
later,,, bye

 

[snilard]

New S30.

When did Silvio lost front suspension?
Silvio without front suspension should be much better bike for randonneuring than Vendetta. Does enyone want to buy me new S30 and change it with my used V20?

 

[Bentas]

Looks like it would be a good climber

Those are some hand laced wheels on Son H Plus anodized NMSW rims with Shimano XT hubs. Super smooth, super quiet, and they carry speed like nobody's business.

They are not the lightest wheels, but then I have never found really light wheels to be good for anything I ride (too heavy of an arse) especially on the Cruzbikes, where a stiffer wheel always has a better feel on the road.
