I've thought about trying one I've thought about trying one of the long brims, either one that fastens to your helmet or some of the bike hats. So far I haven't had to deal with this situation very much due to direction of travel, treeline shielding the sun, etc. so I've just been...

Here is the Here is the gist. Silvio v1.0 - welded frame, rim brakes only, seat angle about 45 degrees, straight boom, harder to fit to shorter people Silvio v1.5 - welded frame, rim brakes only, seat angle about 45 degrees, curved boom, easier to fit to shorter people Silvio v2.0 -...

And here I thought I was just And here I thought I was just making things up with my carbon bullhorns remark. I was looking at my knees bobbing up and down on the trainer the other day and thinking about this post and I realized that the bullhorns just flip the clearance problem to above...

Hi Larry, just poking fun at Hi Larry, just poking fun at you and Charles. No worries. Charles - pins and needles as in sharp as a tack. Master of mysterious physicist like things. Smarter than the average bear. -Eric

Ahem Larry. Charles is the Ahem Larry. Charles is the really tall dude with pins and needles in his head. I'm the short stumpy guy with a cage lock RD. -Eric

I'm much shorter but have a I'm much shorter but have a similar cockpit configuration on my Vendetta. When I was using the Cruzbike drop bars things got a little snug on really, really tight turns. I still had clearance but it was getting close. The bullhorns eliminated that so maybe you...

Cage lock RDs are a Cruzbike Cage lock RDs are a Cruzbike Silvio and Vendetta owner's best friend. The first few times are like that. It gets a lot easier after you get the hang of it, but yeah, it is sort of a PITA. -Eric

Larry, I am toying with Larry, I am toying with building my own bag for the rear triangle space for carrying light weight essentials for self support during ultras/racing but I still want some Radical bags at some point too for randos or similar. -Eric

My Vendetta 2.0 kit had all My Vendetta 2.0 kit had all four clamps still included in the packaging back from when the headrest was outside of the frame tube and just clamped to the metal seat for pre v2.0 Vendettas. I used them to clamp the custom Bachetta Brain Box frame I built onto my...

Look at the much larger Look at the much larger detail drawing on page 6 and you can see how those clamps are used. Note: I'm looking at V5.2 of the Silvio Assembly Instructions. -Eric

The Bachetta Brain Box fits The Bachetta Brain Box fits quite well on the Silvio 2.0 and will also fit on the Vendetta 2.0 (which is a bit harder) as long as you are careful how you mount it. See Buddy's (BBL) post here for details: ?http://cruzbike.com/di2-silvio-2#comment-22676...

That was kind of cool. This That was kind of cool. This would be fun to do with my Vendetta at some of the ultramarathons I'm doing. Which keychain camera are you using? -Eric

The red hub goes well with The red hub goes well with the new decals. What size is the disc brake rotor? Looks like clearance is getting tight. Also, have you tried it with the Monkeybone and OEM2 mounting plate - or whatever the pieces are that use the disc brake tabs to mount the...

You might try around the base You might try around the base of the hoods for more stability. Those loops you have all the way from the handlebars back to the headrest are probably going to generate a lot of vibration or flapping in the wind at car speeds and they won't hold the bars as...

I'm not sure where the Silvio I'm not sure where the Silvio threaded inserts are but I finally ended up removing the bottle cage from my Vendetta boom because of clearance issues. On the Vendetta, the bottle mounts under the boom. I have a fairly high BB which makes for a tight cockpit. I...
