REDUCED. $3,000.

This Silvio has about 4,000 miles on it. It has many custom features as shown and described below. After getting my Vendetta more than a year ago, I have not ridden it outside. The price is $4,200 plus shipping. The component list includes: Silvio V2 Frame and Standard Build Parts 100mm...

Fantastic Parts! Scabinetguy ... Your design is wonderful. Glad I didn't show my pictures. I would have been embarrassed. If it's no secret, do you have a STEP file that you are willing to share? Buddy

Stiffening Bracket I have Di2 on my S2 and V2. I am running a compact chain ring (50/34) on both. I modified my S2 by grinding the adjustment slot completely out on the side closest to the chain ring. The bracket that I designed allows for enough over hang so that the front derailleur can be...

Nice Ride Larry Congratulations and thank you for the report and video. It was an enjoyable Sunday morning read. I am amazed at how little light there was at the start and how closely packed the riders were. I don't know how you all managed to keep from crashing. Based on your average...

Chain Lube & Other Stuff I think your 40 kph at 200 watts is already pretty impressive. 40 kph at 175 watts is unbelievable. It's so unbelievable that I am skeptical. It is very difficult to get accurate and repeatable speed vs power data. You did not mention chain lube. Most people...

A Wire Channeling Idea Ivan ...... If I were going to drill a hole in the location that you showed, I would use a twist (standard) drill. I would lay the bike on it's side and drill the hole by hand. I would use a center punch to put a small dimple in the paint or aluminum so that the drill...

Forward Derailleur Brace At this point I am not planning to add the brace. I have Di2 on my Silvio 2. It is installed without the brace. On the S2 there is enough rotational movement in the FD attachment to play around with it and get it in adequate, if not perfect, alignment. His brace...

Di2 Ideas for Vendetta 2 Something you might want to consider is routing your rear derailleur cable inside the frame of the chain stay. It may be a little difficult to see, but I drilled a hole to allow the rear derailleur wire to be routed through the frame. All my Di2 components are...

Larry ..... I had collected Larry ..... I had collected drag data on the S1.5 and S2.0 awhile back. I think your S2.0 data point is in the ball park compared to my data for the S2.0. Equipment and bicycle maintenance will affect this curve more than most people may imagine, right down...

Renn Wheel Question Jim ..... Were any modifications necessary to the hub on the Renn wheel to allow it to fit? I believe the rear wheel spacing on the V is 100mm.

Tires & Tubes Larry ... You may want to consider a faster set of tires. Al Morrison has done quite a bit of research on rolling resistance of bicycle tires. You can Google this. Long story, short - check out Continental GP 4000S 23mm tires with Michelin 22/23mm latex tubes. The...

Where I Live larryoslund ..... Yes, sorry, I failed to include this. I live in Fredericksburg, VA. ccetex ........ I do have other photographs of the mount. I will try to enclose them later this evening. BBL

Selling my Silvio 1.5. I bought the bike new in Jan 2013. I have not ridden this bike much, maybe 2000 miles. After buying the Silvio 2 in July 2013, I have not ridden the "1.5" since. I suppose it's time to sell it. It has SRAM Force components, Cruzbike wheels with Continental 25mm tires...

Clamp Adapter BentBierz ..... I didn't do anything special to keep my clamp adapters from moving. Just slid them into place and lifted the bike onto the stand. If yours are sliding around, maybe a piece of electrical tape would do. If the clamps are very loose, they will not distribute the...

I Made Two Sets BentBierz ..... I thought you may be interested, so I made two sets, one for me and one for you. If you send me your address on Cruzbike mail, I will send you a set. There is one mod that I want to make before I send it. The clearance between the clam shells and the bike...

Silvio 2 Lift Point I finally got around to making the parts that I described earlier. Time to clean my chain. They work pretty well. The clam shell halves look like this. These parts are made from black Delrin. Delrin is a plastic. It does not scratch aluminum. On the rack...

Product Differentiation and Focus All this has become an interesting read. Although I should be spending the time marketing my own company's wares, I can't resist putting in my two cents. I'll address this from the perspective of Mr. Marketing Manager. When you chose to introduce Silvio...

Lifting Silvio 2 BentBierz ...... Nice Shop! I have been thinking of something similar, although I would not want to load up that flange that you are point to. If you press your two thumbs on that flange you can see it deflect. So, that's not a lot of load. I was thinking of a...

Mounting Hardware for Rear Light Ratz ..... I cobbled all this stuff together from parts I had laying around my house, so there are bits and pieces from everywhere. The struts (100mm and 75mm) came from the Hostel Shoppe. It's called a TerraCycle Accessory Mount. The bar came...
