My opinion: going from 170mm crank arms to 150mm crank arms is one of the best changes I ever made. I ride a V. I liked shorter cranks so much, I had a tool shop drill out my long cranks on my trainer bike also for winter training. The difference there was very noticeable and felt great as...

One material that has future potential is magnesium. Bikes have been made of it for decades. There are still companies that make bike frames from it. It seems to be a better option than titanium, aluminum, or carbon fiber. A lot of the disadvantages talked about are fallacious. It is still...

I'll take strong and light please. My kids don't expect an inheritance anyway.

I ride a Vendetta, and it is still comfortable after riding for 24 hours straight. You don't have to compromise. But you might want to replace the stock seat like Rick did - along with getting a Ventisit seat pad and an ADEM headrest. I did, and I am very comfortable. You'll need to tune in...

What he said.

Battleaxe0 was 129 miles from you, in Baton Rouge, but sold his white Silvio on Oct 19, 2015. He switched to a Vortex trike. Maybe whoever bought the Silvio from him is close by.

I second that motion, but for a Vendetta.

If?

I now ride my V as smoothly as silk. But - I tried to shortcut the learning process from the first day and paid the price by crashing three times in my first two rides and then getting discouraged. I started to doubt myself and the possibility of ever riding a V. Then I stobbornly kept at it...

Finally, the possibility of better roads. Combine self-healing roads with self-driving cars and we'll be some happy cyclists. Self-healing concrete -- inspried by the abalone shell: http://www.engin.umich.edu/college/about/news/one-cool-thing/2015/december/dreaming-of-pothole-free-roads

Awesome!

Cyclists I talk to about converting to a Vendetta generally assume the time and effort it takes to learn to ride a Vendetta is a downside. I remind them that their aging brains most likely benefit from learning something new and demanding. Like learning to play a musical instrument or learning...

Robert, can you give us some close-up photos of the mirror, associated hardware, and how it's mounted? Thanks.

Can you comment on the cyclestar mirror? How do you like it? Where can you get it?

Very beautiful! What brand of cassette are you using to get the 11- to 40-tooth range?

Ratz, I have a friend who has expressed some interest in a used Silvio, either complete or maybe just the frame. He is not very parts-knowledgeable though. Can you post some options and prices? I can forward a link to him to see if he is interested.

Fyi: sandblasting and powdercoating will run around $120.

Off the shelf option: This looks like a cool tailbox that could fit a Silvio or Vendetta. http://oceancycle.co.uk/products,tailBoxes
