Roller Rumble Strip Idea Someone should engineer adhesive rumble strips that can be placed on the outer edges of the rollers so that the rider gets immediate feedback when he or she is approaching the edge.

Seat Pins I believe it's a 19mm seatpost binder that you'll need. Campagnolo's version has a knurled end as opposed to the key found on most of them. They're expensive, but what else would you expect from Campagnolo...

@ Matej Thanks for the explanation of your experience. I can imagine someone who has mastered the Cruzbike, like Jim Parker, who can ride his Vendetta with his hands behind his head, would have less issue with a narrow bar. Even myself, I recall my first Cruzbike rides left my forearms...

"I would say that these Thank you for your input; I have no experience with using such narrow bars. Larry was looking for a hamster or tiller style handlebar and this was one option that I came across. He is looking to use them for testing purposes, and I have to admit, I'd be willing to try...

How about these. (opens in How about these. (opens in new window)

"I wonder if we could figure Bob, You know you'd make it work. You'd probably find a way to integrate it with your handlebar.

Awesome. Forget the bell, Awesome. Forget the bell, this is even more annoying. Ugh...I wish I could embed too!

"They hate the word "left" as I wonder if the pleasant tone of a brass bell would be more annoying? Ding-ding!

Benchmarking Larry, Thanks for your input and the data. The .xls file is just fine and the numbers are very telling. I'm not typically a numbers guy but average power and average speed is very clear to me. Of course, the watts/mph really has my interest. I like the idea of getting more...

"Why does Ratz photo show up I don't know, but I'd be honored if I were you. :-) In your post I see a white Silvio S30. Is that not yours?

"I am going to have to powder Then you going to have to post pictures along with your build diary and ride experiences. We Cruzbike nuts will accept no less. Congrats on the new addition to your stable!

That is one sinister looking That is one sinister looking trike.

Great job on your first Great job on your first "official" road ride. I remember my first actual ride on my Silvio and every passing car had me white-knuckling the handlebar. Likewise, fast descents were unnerving. But it just takes a little time and before you know it, you'll wonder how you...

  "...take the Vendetta I Lief, I'm in the Tri-Cities of the "Everbrown State", but I have my sights on riding STP in July. Maybe afterwards you could give me a formal indoctrination to the Vendetta. I'd definitely take you up on your offer.

"In my first 12 hour race What would you say about differences in your power output and muscle engagement between the two bikes? I'm positive I will get a V in the not-too-distant future. For now, I have a one-of-a-kind Silvio that I have yet to push my limits on. :)

Methinks Wannabe is too busy Methinks Wannabe is too busy riding to post anything new about his new Silvio 2.0.

"And now I'm sad to say that I'm kinda sad to read that. Now I need to set my sites on a Vendetta? Just last night, I promised my daughter I'd help her save up for a new cello. I can buy a complete V20 and a backup V20 frameset for the price of said cello. I'll be happy with my Silvio for...

Good Point!

nicely done While I'm a stickler for all things mechanical in nature, I think you're onto something with your rubber block approach.

Thanks, Ivan Coming from you, that is a huge compliment. I've spent many hours looking at your Silvio photoshoot pictures and and dreaming :-)
