Fantastic work after all our Fantastic work after all our yakking about adjustable seat angle, you did a neat and elegant job with a block of foam! I am amazed it is stable with just Velcro. A bump doesn't threaten to knock you to one side? Regarding visibility with the lower 27 deg seat...

4:55 is an EXCELLENT time! 4:55 is an EXCELLENT time! Sounds like you kept moving almost the whole time and hardly stopped which really helps the averages. Well done! I have the same problem as you describe with accessing food even though I can carry enough. I stuck some in my jersey...

"I got ripped pecs and biceps "I got ripped pecs and biceps from riding my Cruzbike!" - Rick Y. Hmmm...if only I was so fortunate!! :) Brokeneck, how do you think your performance on that long 5% hill compare with your previous efforts on a good DF road bike, before you got your Silvio?

It appears a lot of the fault It appears a lot of the fault is mine. I had always felt my crank felt too tight and something was not quite right. Upon disassembly/reassembly I finally realized that my GXP BB cups should NOT have the spacers installed. Because of this, as another forum stated...

May God comfort and give May God comfort and give Maria and the entire family hope and blessed assurance for the future. Maria's heart and soul displayed at last year's RAAM was, and will always be, an amazing tribute to her sister.

I am looking for some comments here... My front wheel got caught in a groove so I had a very low speed fall. My left crank became loose and I discovered stripped threads in my crank spindle, which on my SRAM Force GXP is on the expensive right crankset. I am using a SRAM Team BB (GXP). As I was...

Nope, no space on mine Nope, no space on mine either. And also the ultra wide Cruzbike handlebar clamp means that my Garmin clamp can't be centered which is kinda irritating. So I am sticking with the original Garmin quarter turn mount for now.

Marc, I don't find low speed Marc, I don't find low speed an issue when starting or slowing down even with higher BB and lying down. I generally don't sit up (and yes, you're right that its harder for me with my low handlebars) even when going up hills. When sprinting or powering up a short...

If it's landscape views and If it's landscape views and traffic visibility you are worried about, I don't think you will have a problem with SIlvio 2.0 for two reasons. First, while the seat is 27 deg, the head is held up more vertically due to the headrest. Not only do I not have a problem...

I guess Bill would fit both I guess Bill would fit both 150mm and 100mm chainstay extensions, depending on how high he wanted the BB. But if your setup is going to be angled like TalleyHo's (or mine), then you better have no belly just a small one cos those low handlebars do make for a tight...

Revelate Designs Pika I tried strapping a small dry bag under Silvio, something doable - but something you would have to do carefully each time to ensure it doesn't jostle loose. In the end I bought a Revelate Designs Pika bag, a slightly smaller version of the Viscacha above. Only a handful of...

The new cadence and speed The new cadence and speed sensors for Garmin Edge have NO MAGNETS and work instead by embedded accelerometers. The speed sensor straps around the hub. Darn clever! Relevant for our Cruzbikes cos now alignment with magnets on spokes or with transmitter on chain stay is...

And the bullhorn handlebar And the bullhorn handlebar purchase option on Vendetta is gone too!! The pre-order code puts the final Silvio price slightly lower than Vendetta, but that's still a huge increase. Those saving up for a Silvio but not ordered yet would feel kinda bummed!!

We haven't posted to this We haven't posted to this thread for a long time. I happened to check the BIKES page. I don't know when pricing was changed but was surprised with what I saw. Now Silvio frameset is $100 MORE than Vendetta!!! Vendetta price dropped and Silvio increased!!

Typically use the stock bars Typically use the stock bars as designed first. I did about 2000km before I changed mine to carbon dropbars and chopped off the ends. However, if you definitely know you want regular drop bars with narrower hands and have a 44-46cm bar just lying around then...

+1 to Eric's simple low cost +1 to Eric's simple low cost method. You can stick foam either on the seat back into the cushion itself. It's an effective method to try different shapes. In the end I liked the original!

Viscacha - a funky name for an incredible bag that greats super reviews everywhere I see it. This bag is for ultralight touring, when one doesn't want to use racks. I came across it looking for bags and figuring out what would work on my Silvio. Here is a mockup (ignore the red bag under...

Alpkit Airlok XTra Hmm...these dry bags are cheap and easily available. They are unusual cos they are flatter rather than cylindrical which is good for clearing SIlvio's rear tyre. Further, they come with attachment points so strapping to the headrest would be easy. Not for daily use, but for a...

Bladderhead: Why are you Bladderhead: Why are you putting a flat handlebar on Silvio 2? Is it to run grip shifters? Both drops (original and otherwise) and bullhorns have proven themselves with a key raison d'être being that they extend the reach, allowing much sought-after straighter...

Marc, take a close look at Marc, take a close look at how I mounted mine. At first I also thought I had to drill the fender but it's not necessary. On the side with disc brake tabs, mount the attachment bracket on the disc brake tabs. Then on the drive side mount that one slightly higher so as...
