I got this email from Atlantic Beach Florida.

It has been a while since you have updated status.
1. Vendetta.  Sure, I read you wnated to redesign front end and then give it to some racers to compare it to existing tt bikes...but we want more info...
2.  Quest.  Sure some of the so called builders didn't think it appropriate to use the english word for the name.  Even if a bike line a df bike and a velo use the name I doubt there would be a conlict of understanding.  Sure you have to have a name before its produced.  But it is time, isn't it?
3. Silvios.  OK.  Ms Parker proved she could make it go.  Do you have some other riders who will make a showing around the world.  (Although I am really impressed that someone rides as ms parker did, I am not sure if she is really jeannie longo...)
4.  At least let us in on the experiences of riders around the world up front.
5. Did you send a silvio to  tom traylor to ride.  I think it would be cool if you had his take.  Clearly you have some features that many builders would love to include, like suspension and high tech materials, and adjustability.
 

1. I don't mind if this one takes its time. Vendetta, don't you know that revenge is a dish best served cold? :) I am still riding and testing, I need to understand a lot of the interactions between frame and rider when the rider is very tired and still pushing hard. When you are near exhaustion, how does the bike handle and behave? This is when its true characteristics are more clearly read. I now have fitted the prototype fork, its pretty good and has dropped the front down lifting the head tube angle so the low speed handling is a more predictable. I am working on how to mass produce the new front triangle and have a prototype underway. Looks like I will need a headrest as standard, no surprise there. Retaining the 135 body closure angle is proving worthwhile, but find the arms pointing up a bit more than the aero considerations would like.

2. We are close to releasing a wad of information on quest with its pending launch.

3. Maria Parker is a genuine mother-of-four, who had never done serious training till 2009, so the record stands as a benchmark of the bike's pedigree. There will be other records falling I'm sure.

4. Riders around the world eh? https://www.cruzbike.com/world-tours; http://www.cruzbike.com/phpbbforum/; http://www.cruzbike.com/customermapB.html

5. Tom has seen the Silvio in its early prototype phase (read about it here:http://www.cruzbike.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=traylor) and later in its pre-record attempt guise. He describes it as a wonderful bike. We are proud to be able to involve Tom in what we are doing. These photos are grabs from a video.
