700c Will Fit Lower rolling resistance of a narrow, high pressure tire certainly won't slow you down. :)

That's a pretty slick hack! I That's a pretty slick hack! I think you're the first to figure out how to make the recline angle adjustable without the use of a shim or wedge. Your CF seat is a very rigid structure whereas the stock seat relies upon the support of the frame for rigidity. Do...

Planet Bike SpeedEZRoad fenders Those are a lot like the older style Raceblades, but it looks as if the strut attachment is better thought out than on the SKS ones. Kevin - I like how you used a second rear fender on the front triangle.

Thanks, Charles. It's going Thanks, Charles. It's going to have no wheels for a while...Christmas is just around the corner, and the kiddos come first. Now if Santa wants to leave a set of wheels beneath the tree, that would be alright. :-)

Superslim: I am hoping to go Superslim: I am hoping to go with an all black and green colour scheme, so black wheels are on my wish list! No heat protection was provided for the shock portion of the fork, but I was confident that I had disassembled it far enough that any components that would...

Thanks Rick The colour seems subdued and just like a really nice green in natural light; I like it best when it's green. And talk about impatient; I've been riding my Cannondale Quick since July. I am definitely eager to get back onto a Cruzbike. :)

Moving to a new topic My Silvio has earned its own thread. http://cruzbike.com/silvio-different-colour

I planned on revealing my Silvio make-over when it is complete, but I already gave away the colour in my Rusty Bolt thread. Here are some photos of the Silvio as it sits tonight. I'm planning to have decals made in the near future and will hopefully begin sourcing components after Christmas...

23s on 28s As long as the bead seat diameter of the tire matches that of your rim, you technically can run a narrower tire on your A119's. However, you're going to be more likely to experience increased occurrences of pinch flats. To compound that problem, less rubber means that when you do...

But look at the bolts! What was once a dull, rust-stained bolt now looks good as new for a fraction of the cost. For the record, I have considered using extra long titanium chainring bolts and nuts in their place, but it is cost prohibitive for me to do so at this time. Toronto Cycles has...

Picture Slightly out of focus, but the best I can do with a cell-phone camera. The highlights on the ridges of the hex socket are reflections, not scratches. The epoxy seems quite durable so far.

Photos Forthcoming I'll do my best to put up some photos tonight. I don't have the best lighting, so my photos probably won't do justice.

Decals https://doityourselflettering.com Not mine, but an example of what you can create. It just take time playing with the font, styles, size, spacing, Here's one I created that looks like it could be a logotype: Here's a "Cruzbike" one in black and silver I've...

After about 8 years, the 8 cs-bolts (seatpost binder bolts) on my Cruzbike Silvio were showing their age. An overall dull appearance with spots of rust, and rust within the sockets made these bits look completely out of place. Unfortunately, I have had trouble finding similar replacement bolts...

Thanks for your detailed Thanks for your detailed write-up of your handlebar experiences. I like the inverted bullhorns too. The look is minimalist and obviously very effective for you and you eliminated the bar-to-leg interference. I have to admit, when I first saw your Silvio build photos, I...

Colors Not wanting to derail the thread... Rob: It looks exactly like Catrike's Eon Green to me. Does Catrike do paint or powder? If it's powder, I'd say it's identical to my "Shocker Yellow". Larry: I'd like to see the color on a Vendetta, but how about on a first-generation Silvio...

Whichever colour you choose, Whichever colour you choose, I hope it's not "Shocker Yellow"; I've already laid claim to that one. ;-)

I've been looking for a I've been looking for a source for monogrammed valve caps. ;-)

That was easy! It looks like you're convinced, Sandy. The Silvio will definitely change the way you ride; meaning faster, way more comfortable, and simply more fun.
