Most of the hardware is Most of the hardware is pretty common stuff. The bolts that hold the CF chain and seat stays are old school braze on seat post binder bolts. Mark

I always buy a tandem cable I always buy a tandem cable for the rear brake. Mark

Cable Threading Device I love it. Great idea, in fact. Mark

Sorry I missed you, Jack! I was looking forward to riding with you! We left right at 8. Next time.... Mark

I really like the new I really like the new frame. I was a little shocked to see the removable seat, but on the other hand, why not? As somebody already mentioned, this does open up options as far as packing the bike for road trips. I can see where it would be a good thing. I...

I never saw Jack, so not sure I never saw Jack, so not sure if he went, or not. The ride was pretty good, if not a little fast. The bummer was, my friend that has been riding specifically to get ready for this ride, broke his foot at work a couple days before. It was a beautiful day and...

Got lucky, didn't Got lucky, didn't you!??! That's a great frame to build on and good wheels to work with. Great find!! Ditch the knobbies, though and buy some high pressure road tires. You'll be much happier. Take your time and build it right the first time. Most of all...

I've been breaking in not only a brand new Cruzbike rider, but also another brand new rider, period. A little background. My friend Rob is a recovering addict. Not just any recovering addict, he is also the leader for Celebrate Recovery at our church and is the local state representative...

Jack, Of course, the more the Jack, Of course, the more the merrier! I don't know if Tom will want to slow down enough to ride with us, though! I hope he does come out, though, it would be cool to get a close up look-see at a Vendetta. Maybe even fart on the seat cushion for him...

Steve, Given that I tend to Steve, Given that I tend to pull myself forward to close the position during sprints and climbs, I think the extender would maybe help. Good to see you still around and riding! Mark

Hey Jack! What about the bike Hey Jack! What about the bike path to the beach from Yorba Regional Park on the 30th? Mark

On my 24" conversion, I put On my 24" conversion, I put 650c wheels and tires on it and run road calipers on it. Doug was kind enough to machine a block for my back break, which bolts up to the kickstand bracket, but the temporary fix I had used worked, also. My 24" frame was a Trek rigid...

There's enough slide in the There's enough slide in the adapter's dropouts to facilitate chain adjustment. Mark

I love it.  The only thing I I love it. The only thing I would do is lose that big tall stem and get the handlebar lower. You might get away flipping it upside down, if you can get knee clearance. I'd lay the seat waaaaay back as soon as I felt comfortable with my control of the bike...

I just took a closer look at I just took a closer look at your bike and I see v brake studs on that fork. I see no issues with the fork. I'm back to questioning the frame. Mark

Thanks for the warm welcome Thanks for the warm welcome home! I'm absolutely loving what I'm seeing around here! The site looks great and I love what you've done with the Silvio. I'm looking for some better detail pics of the new front end; that looks pretty cool. Julius came by and...

In order to get the seat low In order to get the seat low as possible, you would have to mount it all the way back. I see two problems. First, you would have to seriously bend the seat post and the other thing is, you would be moving a lot of your weight too far back. In all fairness...

I don't do locks.  I park my I don't do locks. I park my bike where I can keep an eye on it. If anybody tries to ride it away, I can saunter out, take my frame pump off and whack em over the head with it, since they probably will still be figuring out how to even get on it. Mark

Unless you're about 7'3", Unless you're about 7'3", that bike will be a tough fit, as others have said. DO NOT hack the frame up. Been done and it's not safe! As to the fork, can't you grind the disc brake mounts off? Mark

Hi Everybody! I've been Cruzing for a few years now. Started out with a conversion and went right on into a Silvio. I've logged a whole bunch of miles on my Silvio and still smiling!! Glad to see some familiar faces still around. I'm anxious to see what the Silvio 2.0 is all about...
