Carbon: I have come to the Carbon: I have come to the same conclusion about the carbon chainstay. Closer look at the 2.0 pictures show similar. I guess the manufacturers may have a hard time getting the weave all nice and smooth on such an object. I am a tiny bit but disappointed but not much...

Ah...additional suspension Ah...additional suspension that would give seat angle adjustment for Silvio - that's a great idea. Not likely for me but I see how a lot of people would like that.

There are no cage mounting There are no cage mounting holes on my Silvio 2.0 boom. Unfortunately neither are there on the fiberglass seat. The description on the Silvio page indicates there are but this has probably not been updated.

For those who are eagerly For those who are eagerly anticipating Silvio 2.0 here is a close up of the rear suspension. It is beautiful and slightly different from 1.5 due to the Vendetta-like angle of the stays.

I am building up Silvio 2.0 and have some questions I hope John or Doug can help answer: 1. Stem - the PDF instructions for Silvio 1.5 indicate there are two headset spacers, but I could only find one in my pack. When I tighten the stem cap all the way, it does not meet the spacers by a...

Suspension seat like that Suspension seat like that seems like a bad idea. Pedaling hard and pushing back into seat would compress the suspension.

The Silvio 2.0 has landed on The Silvio 2.0 has landed on my doorstep in Singapore, 2 days after leaving Taiwan! Box in excellent condition. Have not opened yet though as I am terribly busy this weekend and dunno when I get to build it as I am going overseas next week! :( it accepts...

Looking forward to the first Looking forward to the first Cruzbike in Singapore...mine! ;)

Great ride report! Very Great ride report! Very interesting to hear of Silvio in relation to a group ride with DFs - and you weren't riding in the pace line either. Tell us how you fare with Group A next week! I am eagerly awaiting the shipping of my Silvio 2.0 frame. I have all parts...

I have not received a I have not received a shipping notice on my Silvio 2.0 frameset yet. Earlier estimates said it would be shipping out of Taiwan around this time. I don't see any posts yet from anyone who has actually received theirs yet...

I am not tall at 175cm so can I am not tall at 175cm so can fit Silvio with our without chainstay extension, but I wanted the higher BB option. I really like the Vendetta medium triangle position and note that Maria is a tad shorter than me. To achieve this position the Silvio's hai stay needs...

Yes to Eric's comments. Thus, Yes to Eric's comments. Thus, the Cobra has front wheel drive without pedal induced steering that MBB has. I researched the Cobra when I was learning about recumbents, especially cos I was looking at folding capability since I am a Brompton rider and someone had...

Yup, I just placed an order Yup, I just placed an order for the Silvio 2.0 (estimated shipping out of Taiwan in 3-4 weeks according to my conversation with Maria on the phone). It's a lot of money, but it's a graduation present for myself with wife's permission! <grin> Since I like to go fast...

I have also just placed an I have also just placed an order for Silvio 2.0 - I have ordered a chainstay extension 100mm and SRAM Force with it and will be receiving the group and accessories while I am in Kentucky, US. I will then be returning to Singapore where the frame will be shipped direct...

Lisa, your Bachetta Ti Lisa, your Bachetta Ti doesn't have a headrest right? The headrest would support mucho of the heads weight and take strain off the neck. I would think this would make a big difference though I know it's a risk for you to buy and you wouldn't know for sure. For me...

Hi all,  This is my first Hi all, This is my first post. I've been following all of these threads for a long time, deciding what to purchase. I am finally settling on the Silvio 2.0 as it was nicely "in between the Vendetta and Silvio 1.5". Thanks for the detailed posts Eric. Lisa, I...
