Thanks Charles, I was Thanks Charles, I was wondering about that. I bought the trainer hoping it might help in some way to orient me to the Silvio. I know it won't help with ballance so maybe it is just one way I can get on the bike until winter is over. Rod

New Silvio Pics I have small ceder closet that I use for an exercize room, and that is where my trainer and Silvio will be until the weather is warm enough to ride. I am most likely a couple months away from my first ride on my Silvio. Anyway here are a couple of pictures.

Thanks Charles, I thought the Thanks Charles, I thought the slanted top bar had possibilities. The short staight bar at the bottom of the slanded top bar is 27" from the ground. Does that put the seat to high. Would I be better to sell this and find a more suitable donor? Rod

Posible donor This a Sun 29er cruser I recently replaced it with my new Silvio. Before I sell it I thought about the posibility of using it as a conversion. However there is not any suspension on either the front or back. Woild this be a problem?

My silvio just arived at my LBS yesterday. I got to see the frame for the first time. Very impressed, looking forward to getting it home in a couple of days. Rod

Learning to Ride Very well communicated, I am waiting for my CB to be built bt my LBS. I am thinking that the insight all of you have related is giving me a good understanding of what to exspect when learning to ride my CB. Thanks, Great post! Rod

I placed my order for my Silvio today through my LBS. Thanks to all of you for great posts. You played a big part in my dicision to get a Silvio. I chose Campy-Chorus, with Campy Zonda wheels. I hope to have the bike built by the first of the year. It will most likely be too cold to ride...

camby Hi Gil, Have always used Camby? If not how do you campare your Super Record with other Groups? Rod

long winter Thanks John and Gil, I will be ordering my Silvio in about a week. The only problem is I will not be ridding until Spring. It is going to be a long winter.

Does anyone know if the Campy Chorus 11 speed group set will work on the Silvio?

seat back Hi Mick I looked at you pic, thanks for the info. I was refering to the seat back not really the head rest as on your bike. I messaged John about this and from that I think it either won't work or would not be available to order the Vendetta seat as a seporate item. I do not even...

Does anyone know if a Vendetta seat back can be installed on a Silvio? I am soon going to order a Silvio and am interested in posibly finding a good solution for making the seat back taller. I am 6'5" tall with a rather long body in relation to my height. I know Randy made his longer with a...

Thanks John for your help. Thanks John for your help. It sounds like either the Vendetta or the Silvio will be able fit me. I am verry impressed with your bikes and I'm sure what ever choice I make I'll be more than satisfied. Rod Read
