This Silvio will be right at This Silvio will be right at home on the set of Fast And Furious 6! Just need to fix it onto the roof of similarly pimped Subaru WRX with seasucker bike rack!

You will have more clearance You will have more clearance with the 100mm extension as the handlebars are higher so therefore can have more forward adjustment without contacting your thighs. Since your torso is long, having the higher handlebars with 100mm extension may be better for you as your...

You will still want road You will still want road levers. Cheapest is to get Campy Veloce levers then connect these to a shimano derailleur and cassette. You could use mountain parts. See ?http://www.cxmagazine.com/shimano-campagnolo-ergopower-compatibility for how to do this. Just connect...

What is the advantage of the What is the advantage of the ventisit pad as compared to the stock cushions? Nanda, did you have a matching headrest cushion replacement? Motorbike shops in my parts make replacement seat cushions that look very similar and I have been seeing them on increasing...

Go Lisa, go! I am now in the Go Lisa, go! I am now in the US for 2 weeks in Dallas and San Diego so no riding for the rest of Sep.

And since you are accustomed And since you are accustomed to the high BB of the Baron, use the appropriate chainstay extension for Silvio 2.0 to attain similar BB height.

Jim, I am really enjoying Jim, I am really enjoying your pioneering efforts! You may want to try uploading your pics to another site then just past the URLs. I find it MUCH faster than uploading jpegs to the cruzbike site and you don't have to add text to your pics! :) I use Google Plus for...

You can see the orientation You can see the orientation of my elastomer spring here. This way the parts fit together like hand in glove with protrusions and recesses in the right places. This pic is in my build post.

Elliot, you can download my Elliot, you can download my high resolution side on picture and scale a 5cm increase in chainstay length together with an X-Seam increase from my 42" length. Photoshop or low-tech print and cut paper would give you an idea of resulting boom angle and handlebar height.

I wrap small pieces of Velcro I wrap small pieces of Velcro around each of my Zefal underwear bottle cages. This allows me to control how tight I want the bottles. I have lost bottles before and they are expensive so I don't want to lose more unnecessarily! i agree however that the Lezyne...

Thanks everyone for all your Thanks everyone for all your thoughts, ideas and comments. On my way home, I loaded my the left pannier with books and papers I needed. It was pretty heavy and I discovered that this was the limit of unbalanced panniers as I only had a fluffy cushion in my right...

The Force cranks are carbon. The Force cranks are carbon. If you live in fairly flat area like me, then my WiFli setup with my 53/39 chainrings and 11-32 cassette is working well.

So far I am really liking my So far I am really liking my headrest. I took it out a further 2cm for today's ride and it was even better. The only minor problem I have is that my helmet retaining strap has a protrusion where the headrest contacts the base of my skull. Taking the headrest further...

I tried loading up Silvio with some panniers to test a touring configuration. I have never done multi-day touring before and never even used panniers before so this is new ground for me, hoping to do a solo credit-card tour one day... Pictured below are my Silvio with "Phil and Teds" panniers...

LOL! Never thought about LOL! Never thought about inducing a purposeful wobble - good one!

It really is quite neat how It really is quite neat how stable Silvio is on regular height table, and in this position she takes up very little room. This could be useful for those looking to park Silvio at a watering hole! I could ride up to what we call "coffee shops" (sort of like an outdoor...

Heh heh...trying out ways to park Silvio next to my desk, or sort of on my desk! She is very stable with handlebars on an old keyboard stand, and is quite stable just with handlebars on the desk. It's a squeeze with DF alongside!

Hmmm...that does not sound Hmmm...that does not sound like my A600 pedals and I have 2 sets now on 2 bikes. I have previously had 2 other types of SPD pedals A530 and a very old one I can't remember. All turn in discrete steps but are not difficult to turn. None were difficult to adjust as you...

Another Commute Yet another commute in traffic this morning. 25km on my direct route in heavy traffic, with traffic lights and roundabouts, from about 8:30-9:30am. Ride time 52 min plus 10 min stop time; Had one driver honk me when he was irritated that I took the lane when it narrowed, but...

Hi Jeremy. Stripped the Hi Jeremy. Stripped the adjustment bolts? They should be really light to turn and hardly require much force. Loosen them (counter-clockwise) all the way and they should be quite loose. If you have old cleats, use them as they will be even looser. Did you get the SPD...
