As a previous poster put it - due to being physically incapable of riding it. (Can't get it adjusted for my particular back problem/stature combination). So it has only been used for attempted test ride so far. It has been built with 700c forks and wheels and can be bought as in the...

Short chainstay option Thanks John. I might have to offend your sensibilities I'm afraid to get to ride it ;-)

Brake bridge i009899 - Hmmm, That's interesting. Hi Charles. Thanks for input. My objective is to get the bottom bracket a few inches lower relative to the seat, which means changing it from 'Level' to sloping down at the front, which is fine as the seat can be adjusted one way or...

Seat position and feet position Hi, i don't know about the Silvio but I got a V2k frame and conversion kit on which I managed to get a nice comfortable laid back position with the seat, but have found that because I have short legs and the boom raises the bottom bracket for this higher...
