Back on topic.. I finally used the original Cruzbike cushions and drilled two holes in the upper and lower, ran lock-tight straps through seat pan and cushions and looped through Ventisit back down through. so I have the cushions with Ventisit on top and they are secured to the seat pan with...

Ratz, You did a fantastic job with this diary, very impressive and awesome components. I love the limited edition paint job too..wonder if they still have any of these left? My wife is open to the frame kit idea just not sure I am ready to jump in yet, but that frame kit with that paint job may...

Hijacking this thread a little.. trapdoor2, I remember you riding that V2/k back then. I have been interested in the Cruzbikes since. Bring that Vendetta in some time or on next "Tour de" and we will represent for Cruzbike.

Thanks for the link Ratz! That was Trapdoor 2 I saw at lunch and i still have the Corsa, which i will ride tomorrow.

Too funny!, I saw trapdoor 2 at lunch today. and I still have the Corsa.

Blue anodized Mavic Cosmos, that's me!

My Corsa has always been around 17 to 20 degrees, so going to a Silvio at ~36 has been an adjustment and starting to wish it was more reclined, even though it is a lot of fun.

I rode about 16 miles at lunch today and still have some of the symptoms, I was going up an incline and was passing a man walking who said "nice Silvio" and I replied "so you are familiar with these bikes" and of course he said " I have a Vendetta at home" which was really surprising for north...

Well, looks like you guys were right, took a 6 mile ride on the extra cushion today and butt was no better. I removed the cushion, loosened the bolts , skewer, and boom and added a half inch of length. This felt a lot better after I replaced the frayed cable with a new one and then put on a new...

Super Slim, If I am understanding you correctly, you have 3 layers and the original seat pad on the seat portion and 3 layers on the back?! If so , I won't feel too bad about adding that layer of "B" Corsa foam under mine. I added some of it between Corsa Euromesh and Ventisit to add lumbar...

Thanks for the input guys, I would try to get a picture, but I have the foam in position now and it was a little tedious getting everything aligned. (picture would just show me with the new setup) I am going to try it for awhile to see if it works. I could lengthen the boom, but I am sitting...

I have had a great time with my Silvio 1.5 and may have about 150 miles on it now. I usually go 15 to 18 miles at lunch and often ride my Corsa (seat angle~ 17 degrees with Ventisit over Euromesh). Never any butt issues with the Corsa, but after 8 to 10 miles on the Silvio it feels like somebody...

I didn't consider slider/boom mounting and may give it a try, shifting is decent and any fault is my own..may need to tension cable more as the only issue has been a little extra effort to get in the big ring and only in the last four gears on the right. looks like you have rotor q rings on...

Also noticed that the front derailleur bracket/mast with the Ultegra FD-6700 is bolted at the lowest position possible on the mast and is still gives the FD more clearance than the 1-3 mm recommended settings. Looks like 6-10 mm or more without measuring, is that normal? Have Blitzu cheap and...

Tried to get a low res picture of my bike on the back of my car Swageman (XC?) standard 2 bike carrier and my new bag. I put the sling pack under the seat on one end and looped it through a water bottle carrier on one side (aluminum Ibera brand recommended) and gets it out of the way of the rear...

Tried another rack and it wouldn't fit without some mod's, but the wife wants it for her bike. I just ordered the Sling Pack and should be able to make it work with what I carry I hope. Went for my usual 15-18 mile lunch ride, but on the Silvio for the first time. I enjoyed it and learned a lot...

Everything is better than expected, the rear wheel was sort of an optical illusion with the Mavic SUP weld process that and some old adhesive stick in the joint made it look bad. I also found a slightly longer bolt for the Ultegra FD and managed to get it working. Rode 15 miles on my Corsa...

Looks like a good solution John, for now I am going to try the rack and bag setup for a while. I always haul a bunch of stuff including 2 tubes , tools, first aid bag, mini pump, and sometimes food. Looks like I have another delay as my Ultegra Front Derailleur has a stripped out cable attaching...

Thanks for the input guys, think I may go with more Velcro if the current setup proves to be a problem.

The Topeak valve extender I mentioned is actually a "Pressure Rite" Schrader valve adapter so I might be okay, seems to work similarly. I got to take it out again last night doing figure 8s and using palms of the hands. I went no hands for the first time, but only about 30 feet or so..not on...
