There is now, in 2013 when I posted this, not so much.

Haha, that confusion has come up before, hasn't it...

Hey Bob, not sure how to read that sentence... I have been using the Report button in the new forum (although it seems to have been ignored in one case so far), had not noticed Ignore.

I must be the only person happy with the stock Silvio 2.0 seat and pads (basically the same as the S30 seat). I did my first 100 mile ride last Fall (over 7 hours in the seat, pretty much continuous) and had no pain anywhere. When I got home I was just tired from pedaling.

Did you find the location/shape of the holes in the tube?

Check out around page 4 of this thread: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/bullhorn-and-dropbar-options.7014/page-4

Sounds like a candidate for Bob's bullhorn brifter setup.

Interesting, looks almost like an under seat steering position.

According to Strava, I have over 1000 miles on my Silvio, the vast majority last summer/fall. I feel perfectly comfortable on the bike, except as I mentioned on long and steep hills where my speed gets very low, and I have improved a lot there. I could try learning new skills, like launching in...

If I ever need additional low speed stability on the Silvio, for example in traffic, I just sit up and then my balance greatly improves. I sit up every time I stop/start, not sure if other Silvio or Vendetta riders do that but it works well for me and I feel no need to launch from a reclined...

Agreed, Strava has been fun since I joined and I really only compete with myself on there.

Looks like a conversion kit with the V2/K frame.

If you like the Quest and you can afford a Silvio or Vendetta -- yes, I'm afraid there's no avoiding it. I went from a Sofrider to a Silvio myself.

Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate the forum overhaul, and I think the photo uploading is a lot easier than it used to be, but there's always room for improvement somewhere. (Also I'm not sure the forum is such a side thing, it seems very comforting to new buyers.)

A friendlier forum would let you upload an image larger than 1MB, then downsize/recompress it on the server for storage, instead of putting the burden on the user. Ah well.

If anyone wants to compete for lowest average speed -- I'm in!

Yes -- I believe the seat angle changed with the 2.0 model (looking for a reference...), not with the v20. The angle on the Silvio S30 is rounded up from 27.

I'm fairly sure the seat angle changed with the 2.0.

After procrastinating all April I finally hit the road/bike path today. The bike feels so familiar, it's like I haven't been off of it for five months, except for the burning in my legs reminding me that I am now completely out of shape. It would be nice to keep enjoying the bike as-is, but...

Hi Abbott, what a day! This is the chain that you said was "skipping" earlier? Did you resolve that before the break, and did you double check that the quick link was fully engaged/locked?
