The seat bag doesn't need the tubes for support-- it really just needs the back of the seat. I put the headrest tube like that to be an easy grip on the bike and to allow for mounting lights and radar unobstructed on the rear. I'm sure you could do as you suggest, though-- the scissor clamps...

There are 5 holes in the flat plate of the frame, all there from the factory for the frame. Basically it seems to be a bit of an update to the frame. One is a weep-hole (Yeay!). The other four (two pairs of two) seem to be for mounting somethings. The spacing appears to be about right for...

As you may note, I installed the headrest rails upside down, which works perfectly for this build. The Bachetta Brain box is fitted on the rear (it fits perfectly). The plastic isn't the most beautiful thing ever (I didn't have time to beautify it greatly), but it'd be reasonably easy to take a...

In the end, we went with the SRAM gx rear derailleur, sram red front and brifters and crank (though we may swap out the crank with a shortened crank, e.g. the SRAM Apex). We also stuck a Volae L Carbon Comfort seat onto the frame. I'm fairly happy with how that went, and have some...

Hmm, that does sound interesting. It is difficult to get something that wide to have 45-degrees of tilt out of such relatively short trailing arms. Sounds like the track is smaller than what I have on my prototype. That makes sense to me (the only reason I made mine wider was to allow luggage to...

I'll be giving the bike shop a ring tomorrow. I'd sent email on Monday, but didn't hear anything back yet.

If Slim doesn't pick it up, I'll happily pick it up. It is all of the S30 that I need, and none of the parts (it sounds like) I don't need.

That would be perfect for my tilting-trike experiments.

I wonder if it spent too much time in direct sunlight? That can make plastics brittle and easily broken. I think the Fly6's mount is poorly designed all-round. They'd have done better by making the tab simpler and allowing different mounts to be screwed onto an adapter plate. Oh well!

Correct.

I've looked through all my posts and can't find it, so perhaps they were on the old forums. Oh well, I'll muddle through again somehow (I did it once, I can do it again!). @ratz Any suggestions on e-shifting sets for folks who do some hills?

The project still lives, though there has still been no real progress except some additional CAD models.

Still curious what mods Gabriel had to do!

@ super slim I'd posted in that thread waaaay back when :) @ castlerobber I'd tried that, but couldn't find the posting. Which is sad, 'cause I don't remember how I'd mounted the hardshell and don't particularly want to take the bike apart to find out ;) Laziness!

Ooooooo!

Standard front skewer works, IIRc.

I used those to help mount my hardshell (aftermarket) seat. :)

To see the build, click the following link to go to the correct posting in this thread: S30 buildup with Volae Comfort Carbon L seat. I'm doing an S30 build for my dad, who, after seeing me tour the Silvio successfully up the whole east coast, decided he would take the plunge. As a reminder, I...

Sorry for the lack of updates. Due to dealing with new kiddo, I've had no time to work on the project other than riding prototype #1 around.
