I can't quite tell from the I can't quite tell from the photo, but are the shifters operated from the handlebars as if on a standard bike? Also, can anyone with experience with both the Silvio and the Vendetta say what the difference is between the two in terms of speed and ease of handling?

Larry, I'm looking forward to Larry, I'm looking forward to seeing your Silvio so please hurry up and put the finishing touches to it. :-)

John, etal. Am I correct in John, etal. Am I correct in saying that if I buy the Vendetta Assembly pack for $2,900, I can cannibalize any standard road bike for all the other parts needed? I have more bikes than I can ride now, so I have all the spare parts if my assumption is...
