I ordered a curved slider for my much loved Silvio S30. I believe the curved slider will improve my field of vision and lower my hands into the sweat spot. Right now, I have my handlebar bar curved downward to bring my hands lower. Come on mail truck bring the slider my way!!
So you want the last version of the S30 but add extra seat pad to the recline and change out the front triangle? The last S30s had no front suspension and a 28 degree recline, I believe.
I have a 2014 version of the handlebar off my Silvio. I changed to a Salsa Woodchipper bar. I think the current one is a bit different. Yours for the price of shipping and 20$.
Thank you for the that tidbit. I really like my S30. I may just look for another S30. My long range plan is touring using an RV to motor around the US to cycle.
I love reading about your build. I ride the slightly older S30 version. I also have a Q559 which I do not love. I am debating selling the Q and buying another S. Your build helps me. I go between Ky and Fl and would prefer not to haul bikes back and forth. Was there a specific reason you did...

I’ll emphasize this comment. I was coming down a rails to trails road overpass and my front wheel jarred loose. I stopped ok and all was fine except my ego. I had to walk the bike (Q559) about a half mile to...
I ride with a loud whistle around my neck. If I see a charging pooch, the whistle has a shrill sound which, so far, has diverted a pooch. The noise startles the dog which gives you time to peddle away.
He has the newer type of cover which lets you add the cage mount accessory. I used a Velcro strap around the headrest with extra padding to fill the gap. I ultimately switched to a different headrest.
