The "new" hydroform Silvio and Vendettas are just somehow indefinably sexy.

I (still) highly recommend using the moldable plastic stuff I mentioned in my seat mounting description. It makes making shims for the aftermarket seats super easy and effective

I also have the Varia Radar, as I commute almost entirely on shared roads. It works.

Wheel slippage of the front, drive wheel causes my stalls, for the most part.

http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/gps-mount-for-silvio-s30-v.11882/ I documented what I do to mount my garmin edge in the thread above. I don't have enough space to put the gps on the front of the bars, so it had to go above/forward.

2 - 2.5 mph. The problem that causes stalling for me is spinning out the front (drive) wheel -- I definitely can't balance the S30 at 0mph! The tricycle prototype otoh, was stable enough to balance at something less than 1 mph.

I built my flo wheels with a powertap + disc brake. :)

I run the 32h powertap disc hub (which uses j-bend spokes). The straight-spoke disc hub version doesn't (last time I looked) allow as much flexibility in lacing or spoke count.

I had some trigger finger as well. That was mostly fixed by changing the angle of the handlebars (bullhorns correlated with getting trigger finger). As for cadence-- a higher cadence implies lower knee torque for any particular energy output. I've found that the thing that mattered more to me...

I modded my CB supplied Perez clamps by drilling a hole for the solid rod off-center. I then tapped the bottom part of the screw hole to provide additional threads for the screw to bite into. This worked much better for my purposes, which was to mount the seat as well as fix the headrest.

Get two 'rear' 160 brakes. Should come with the adapters, (and rotor, though I don't like TRP's rotors much) iirc.

I use an XL, though I'm 175cm, and it might be small. When I lose weight again (as I learned on the tour now a few years back), it will be perfect. I also have a couple other seat types I'll try when I have some additional time. For now, spending that time riding has been the way to go :)

Disc front, rim rear for me as well.

He is in 1st place as of right now. Go Jason!

3d printing metal is a thing these days. If you can get a 3d scan or model, then you can get it produced at moderate cost indefinitely on demand basically forever.

Yup. I have those bags or something really really similar-- Radical Banana Bags (s). The 's' (for small) can still carry a surprising amount of stuff. They work well with the Silvio S30 (I did 3500 miles up the eastern seaboard of the US with them). TBH, they work well on most 'bents.

In my case the flop stop exists solely for three reasons: 1) to more easily move (push) the bike when I'm not on it 2) to lift the bike (e.g. up stairs/onto a roof bike rack) without getting fingers slammed 3) to more easily park the bike without it falling over. As someone who commutes nearly...

Which bars do you have on that? Seems non-stock?

I keep trying to convince my wife to ride one, but without a group of other female cyclists with whom she can socialize, I fear nothing will happen.

My Aerobelly made required a higher mount for my GPS (and electronic horn), thus I did this: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/gps-mount-for-silvio-s30-v.11882/
