    I had bought a yard of yellow I had bought a yard of yellow lycra before Bike Sebring to try your wrap around the outside of the frame technique but haven't tried it yet. But yeah with lights, battery cases, water bottles, repair kit, the rider, etc. it is tough to keep it aero. -Eric

    Henry, I think most of that Henry, I think most of that is folks with a Sofrider budget but a SIlvio or Vendetta appetite - no disrespect intended. I originally started looking with the Sofrider pricing in mind but was drawn to the thought of ultracycling and speed, hence the Silvio but then...

    Where's Lisa's Silvio?

    Nanda's Flickr photostream Nanda's Flickr photostream has several photos of some of his brainstorming. The hardshell he was playing with looks pretty good except for the curved up lip at the leading edge of the seat base. I think short riders like you and me , because of where the bottom...

    Cool, thebean is back! Sorry Cool, thebean is back! Sorry to hear about the struggles but glad to hear that same Lisa enthusiasm for life. When you do get to try out a 2.x Silvio, I am quite curious to find out what you think of it and how your neck/back does with the current recline...

    New Car to transport my Silvio

    Ken, that looks great. I just Ken, that looks great. I just wish they had devised the seating to be stowed away flat even with or below the top of the bumper all the way to the front seat backs. However, your solution is excellent and I really like your bike transport platforms. How...

    John, I'm gonna get Tim T. to John, I'm gonna get Tim T. to help me with the bag... But what I think it needs is some kind of tool-free quick disconnect from the headrest so it can be quickly installed or removed when desired. Perhaps make a set of different sizes for different...

    A wrap like Eric did I think you are referring to wrapping the headrest cover around my customized headrest foam and "Quiver"/"Windshadow" rack? I didn't wrap the cover, I just layed it flat on top of the foam strips and then used a couple of velcro straps to hold in place as a quick...

    Hmmm, with a name like Flying Hmmm, with a name like Flying Furniture I suppose I'm not too surprised at their opinion... And everything they describe is just as applicable to a RWD recumbent or upright. -Eric
