    I bought a used Silvio…brand new to Cruzbike….mistake?

    You have come to the right place for help! While you wait for the arrival of your classic keep in mind that most of us started in the very same place you are now.

    Is the V20 aluminum frame no longer being sold?

    The V20c is the latest and only present V model. Go to the Page; CRUZBIKE VENDETTA V20C " The V20c is our lightest, stiffest, smoothest, fastest Vendetta ever, joining a carbon fiber front end with an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame."

    Goggles

    RockBrothers Photochromic Glasses. Great fit and block sun and wind very well. They look like something to be used on a construction job.

    Pivot/washers

    I have a 2015 Red Vendetta that I purchased from Cruzbike as a frame set. I assembled the bike without washers on either side of the pivot clamp. I downloaded the assembly instructions on January 4, 2015. The use of washers was not mentioned.

    I use a 50/34 chainring and find it provides plenty of low end for the hills I climb.

    "I have a SRAM etap rim brake groupset I intend on using." Please check the V20c specs. The third item under Compatibility Notes, calls for flat mount disc brakes.

    New Adjustable Carbon Fiber Seat and Headrest for the Cruzbike V and S series

    "It appears as though it should fit the same." You are correct! When I had installed the Moose Pack I had removed Velcro attached to the frame where the straps are positioned. The Velcro and the straps are thus a single level which the seat rests upon. Thanks

    Uphill starts

    If location and traffic will allow, you can start downhill and with enough speed make a U-turn.
