OK, recently I have been getting out and riding my new Burley Django, and have fallen for the handlebar setup it has. I didn't think I would but I have. I have...
Hi Robert, The most likely reason you are having an upper body battle would be an uneven pedalling cycle. It becomes much more noticeable with narrow...
Hi Robert, I looked up the Django on the Burley site. It's a lot like my R40, except for a stationary bottom bracket that's slightly higher. Burley makes very...
Today, while making my once weekly tour of my favorite bike parts suppliers (thrift stores), I came across this beauty (see photos 7 and 8 in my album - Carl's...
Hi Carl, This is my second attempt to respond, Yahoo ate the first one... computers, love 'em, hate 'em... The early '80s Mixte Le Tour is a work of art, isn't...
Doug: Thanks for responding. I think, when the kit arrives, I am going to stick with installing it on the Y frame bike for now. I have all the components and...
Nice photos Joshua! I try to visualize them on my dull cycle commute every day! LOL Only last week I was changing a flat early in the morning in temperatures...
Hi Joshua, I really enjoyed the photos of your bike in Japan. Thanks for sharing. I would like to do the same. I will post some photos of interesting places in...
Hi all, I've had my cruzbike for about a year now. Those photos were taken around the northwest outskirts of Tokyo from last summer through last weekend. Get...
Nice to hear about your trips around Japan, Joshua (John), sounds like great fun. The hands free thing - you can ride a regular bike no hands? including while...
It takes practice but is possible I think. I am getting better each day. Find a long straight and relax. Count me as a "nearly able to do it!" Will let you...
Hi Everyone, I just spotted the new bike image on the intro page. It is the Trek - exactly the same as mine - that John T sent to the US for a test ride write...
Hi all I built my cruzbike with solid front forks and cut the cruzbike steering tube down to size. Now I am thinking about fitting suspension forks but there...
Hi Martin, I think you'll be right. If the wheel centre turns out to be an inch lower, the BB will be about 1/2 inch lower, so you should gain rather than lose...
Hi Martin, I have similar leg handlebar clearance with suspension forks and have had no trouble at all. Cheers Brad ... inch ... rather ... that ... ...
Hello All, A few weeks back I sent John Tolhurst (thank you for the reply John) an email asking him about a potential frame choice that I am considering for a...
Hi Dave, I agree with John, what a great-looking frame. I had originally considered using a carbon-fiber front fork, and I abandoned that idea for the same...
Hi guys, I've beenthinking more about this question of placing a seat on a CF frame. The seat support bracket spreads the load over about 17 cm, so not really...
Hi Dave and John, Excuse my ignorance, but, if the cross bar usually supports the normal bike seat rider weight and pedalling forces going thropugh it, ...
Hi All, Last Saturday, I was on my favourite ride and had the camera with me. As promised, I have posted a few photos of the scenery, which is absolutely...
OK, In a momment of inspiration I swiped the bar ends off of my wifes dust collecting MTB and installed then on my Cruzbike flat handlebars - just to have a...
Interesting, Robert, I did precisely the same thing with the HiRoad this weekend. I've installed carbon bar-ends and rotated and lowered the bars for ...
