    Silvio Frameset for sale, IN RED! SOLD!! Thanks!

    Need to sell! Perhaps I should lower the asking price, or give up my sob story. In October of 2010 I crashed my fixie and broke my collarbone. I got an $1800 emergency room bill, went on disability for a month then unemployment for a year. I managed to sell off a bunch of my parts but...

    Rear derailleur shifting issues

    Thanks Doug for your efforts helping us resolve these issues. :D again! :D I imagine it would be acceptable to attempt cutitng my own hanger(s) after seeing the method you used. I also suspect the solution of a spacer would create unacceptable axle penetration in the dropout. :shock: A...

    Rear derailleur shifting issues

    I finally tracked down the culprit in a maddening issue causing trouble shifting the rear derailleur. It was acting like a bent derailleur hanger, where it could be adjusted correctly for 4 or more gears in a row, but the rest would either ride up or down like too much or too little tension. I...

    Modifying the reach on the Silvio

    Again I appreciate all the excellent input. I did consider the fact of front derailleur issues, but looking again at the image it becomes much more obvious. Sometimes hearing the words and thinking for a week or more brightens the mind. :mrgreen: I did also consider adding a stem and it is...

    Modifying the reach on the Silvio

    Greetings my friends! I've been brewing this idea for some time, and the more I ride the Silvio the more I want to try it. On my Rans Rocket I modified the steering using Volae bars and the Terra Cycle stem and riser. This enabled the "Superman" recumbent position. Other than aerodynamics there...

    ATTACK!

    My poor Silvio was attacked. She was unable to defend herself, unlike me... but I gave them a piece of my mind. About a month and a half ago I was on my way home from work one Sunday, right past the apartments where I used to live. Two miles from work, just getting warmed up! I was planning to...

    ok, so now, lets make a fast one

    I love the design John! I echo Mark's sentiment that I eagerly await photos of the completed bike. How are the bars mounted? lev

    Poor Man's Silvio?

    Hey Mark! Nice looking bike. 8-) I have some important safety information regarding this donor. On some Trek MT220 models the frame was welded incorrectly. These are some of the later year models (which also happen to have a low-end coil suspension fork) from 2005-2007. Make certain to...

    Powdercoating your Silvio frame

    Yakmurph, thanks. I was a little suprised it came out so well, for my first try. I made another attempt, but the first was much better. I'll likely be shooting stereo for many of my future photos. WhiteSilvio, you're welcome. It makes me happy to help. I started some photoshop edits with...

    Cassette Clearance

    There looks to be much less clearance than mine has. Double check the hub is not missing any parts, and that there is no spacer under the cassette. If nothing is incorrect, perhaps a smaller cog would work. [URL='http://www.elevendistant.com/silvio/cog_clearance.jpg class="bb-url">[/URL] PS...
