    First off, I am glad that Larry was not seriously hurt. There is something going on with that setup. Please consider my experience below.

    Silvio 2.2 frameset build questions

    Hi! I started with the Silvio 1.0 back in 2010. At that time there was no extension available. My bottom bracket was low like yours. In hind site I feel that the low bottom bracket made it easier to learn to ride. Later in 2010 Cruzbike came out with the extension. I got the 150mm one and it...

    Silvio 2.2 frameset build questions

    You are doing very well in a short time. How long are your crank arms? Your knees look like they are bent more than 90deg. Shorter crank arms will improve that. I am 6'-4" and I use 165mm cranks. There are others here who use even shorter ones. The wisdom of tall riders and longer crank arms...

    Has anyone tried Ultegra 2x11spd 6800?

    11 speed fitting Silvio I cannot speak for any manufacturer but Campy. I now have Silvio 1.5. I also started with Silvio 1.0. The cassette for 11 speed Campy occupies the same space as 10 speed Campi. 10 speed Campi is about 1/32 inch wider than 10 speed Shimano. . I believe that 10 speed Sram...

    campy 11 speed group set

    Campy Hi Rod I have used Campy for 15 years. I prefer the 1 lever, 1 function principle. I had Shimano Ultegra before that and it was OK. I have not used sram so I cannot comment on that.

    New Silvio in stock

    Silvia due Looks great, I like the way the seat attaches. That is the key to the smaller box I'll bet. Keep up the great work. I think you are now achieving critical mass.

    SIlvio Lesson 2

    On the road Hi Mick, In February 2011 I bought a new Silvio. I found myself to be quite wobbly around my house because it is flat or slightly down hill. When I got myself far enough away, after many short rides, I was 8 miles away with a slight up hill ride all of the way back. I found that...
