Jeff,  If you find one to Jeff, If you find one to test ride send me a note. I'll split the cost of gas to go take a test ride. chuck

 Eric,  Really nice ride Eric, Really nice ride report(s). I agree with Charles on working on seat recline as you get more comfortable. That neck and shoulder pain should go away when the death grip goes away. What really helped me was opening up my hands while riding, even (or especially)...

Obviously I still haven't Obviously I still haven't figured out how to post a pic from my photobucket site.

[b][/IMG] This is a bolt on tilting rear end that Dennis Grelk ( I think) uses on his lowracer.

Fairing a V seems Fairing a V seems problematic. You are already pretty aero so conventional wisdom would be to put a tailfairing on one and clean up the air behind you. A front fairing doesn't make sense unless you clean up the air behind you so that would lead to a full fairing. A full...

 What they said. After a What they said. After a couple thousand miles on the Silvio I occasionally have soreness, usually has to do with how hard of a ride I did. Rest and recovery days are important too.

That would be me at 1:30 That would be me at 1:30 waiting for the start on day 1. The mass starts on Friday and Saturday are worth the trip. I was about 4th out on Saturday morning and bents were still leaving the parking lot when we were 1/3 of a mile away.

There were 2 of us at the Rally in Stevens Point, Wisconsin last weekend along with several hundred other recumbent riders. Mr. cobra gt and I rode together for a few miles on Saturday before he took off with the really fast guys. I fielded hundreds of questions about Cruzbikes and met some...

The front end is a bit The front end is a bit improved

Jack, I'm interested in your Jack, I'm interested in your impressions of the V. Especially coming off of the Silvio. chuck

Wow.... LOTS of welding Wow.... LOTS of welding and Lots of tubes (expensive build?). Would the seat need to further forward to keep even weight distribution?

 The speedy guys like to The speedy guys like to clean up the air behind them, hence the 90 on the back. The Flo site reccomends a 60/90 combination for TT type riding. By any measurement I am not a racer, I'm 57 and a transplant recipient, but the Silvio seems to have opened up a door to...

I'm considering upgrading the wheels on my Silvio to wheels from - http://www.flocycling.com/wheels.php Currently these are very reasonably priced and seem to get good reviews. These will eventually go on a Vendetta. So, what is a good combination? First thought is to go with a 60 on the...

 Take a look at this Take a look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IvB82KFaRc It shows the V along with a DF and what looks like a low or midracer. Maybe you can get an idea about how it would be on a commute. Personally I think it's about what you are willing to adjust...

 This kind of report makes me This kind of report makes me want a V even more.

Pretty sure that is cobragt Pretty sure that is cobragt on the left in this photo

 fthills,   Do you have a pic fthills, Do you have a pic from behind the V? How much of your shoulders does the seat mod support? When I had first thought of shoulder support it was similar to the top piece you have there but slightly curved in at the outside of the shoulders. Sort of...

 I am going to echo what John I am going to echo what John just said. When I got my Silvio one of the larger concerns I had was the seat, for all the same reasons you have mentioned. I even thought about the same seat mods that you are doing. Then I rode it for a few hundred miles and realized...

 The idea of a Silvio race The idea of a Silvio race edition is really intriguing. More aero and still suspended. Maybe a tad less expensive than the V.

 "p.s.  As far as the price, "p.s. As far as the price, it's really not fair to compare DF bike prices to recumbents because of the economy of scale. While I'ld love to see the Vendetta cheaper, I don't think they have much room do play with here. (Of course, maybe they'll read this and...
