Doug, Cool. I will check that out. The bracket that came with the bike is just a square end axle with threaded ends for nuts that hold the cranks... the...

John, Cool!! Thanks a lot! I thing the wider frame of the Honda bike is just begging for it to have "Cruzbike" on it :) I took the bike to my lbs to have him...
Has anyone out there attached a rear rack to their bike that can hold panniers and a trunk bag? Seems like you would need a rear rack that only attached to the...
Seat Post rear racks are good to 30 lbs., but in a sharp turn they may twist in the direction of the turn and not right themselves. You could use one, but...
Hmmm.... now that wouldn't be good.... I did find these racks: http://www.oldmanmountain.com/rear_rack_page.htm They have some that work on a rear suspesion...
Good grief, if you used a conventional rack that attaches to the rear wheel axle, then it must also attach to the seat post on a Y Frame. Since the Y Frame...
Actually, A few of the mountain man racks listed in the link below mount to the rear axle and are braced to the rear brake posts - no attachment to the...
Interesting, never saw the gallery pics till now. I had something similar on one bent, but I ended up using bungee cords to secure it As the road shock kept...
Lets go back a step. The reason we are talking about panniers on a rear mounted rack is because that is the only way to do it on a diamond frame. But its a bad...
Am trying to source a small light weight hydaulic ram, Joshua. This would allow the seat to recline on the flats and to come upright for city and hill riding....
There is another way, when my wife got our 1st Silver Cross Pram, it came with a fold down Buddy Seat, which clamped onto the Pram and when another kid was to...
Hi - I've been searching for afolding recumbent, and am excited to find CRUZ bikes as a non-welding option to be able to build me own. I am short (5'3"), and...
John, I had not thought of it that way.... I think the big reason I like the rear type mount is for a decent size trunk bag, primarily. I almost ordered a...

Passed the 100 mile mark on my odometer today. Not bad for 3 weeks considering my old MTB odometer has 133 miles after 2 years. Also went "no hands" for a...
Best I can think of is do an Arte Johnson. Re Sit perfectly rigid and let the bike fall onto it's side and then stand up, might be a bit hard on the hips and a...
Hi Jim, I've been putting a light aluminium kickstand fixed right in behind the original bottom bracket housing. They work on the left hand side. When I get...
I do the same, it works a treat. I think I've found a way to mount the kickstand on the front fork - that way I can kick it off while seated, and it holds the...
I have been wondering about what to do for this as well - the kickstand that came with the bike is mounted for the rear axle...... probably too far back for a...
John, Yes I did check that out after I posted here...looks great! I can agree that having it under the seat would be more ideal.... but the area where the...
Robert, Those small holes are indeed for mounting racks, but crofters bike has a seat post mounted rack so the gear doesn't crunch over bumps. THe bag has drop...
The ones that mount under the seat can be found by searching at google.com for Midship panniers and lots of choices come up. I haven't tried any but I've...
This sounds interesting. Please let me know if you do this and how it works as I would like to do same. My job sends me for training and I miss my bike when...

John, Cool!! I like that bag and it has "panniers" built in which is pretty cool. Still on the fence about the rack....I suppose a 20lb load is not a lot in...
Christy, Karen, I can't see why a 20" cruzbike couldn't be done, all the connections are the same and there is no difficulty with the seat height. Over the...
