I have two Zefal spy mirrors I have two Zefal spy mirrors one on each side. Strongly recommend both the Zefal and having 2 mirrors. -Eric

Here are a couple of photos. Here are a couple of photos. I was very, very lucky she missed my legs. I was clipped in and rode the bike down which in hindsight served me well as the Vendetta cockpit configuration and seat shells cradled most of my body from impacting the road. I was doing just...

Hi Alan,Where did you get Hi Alan, Where did you get the impression the Vendetta was 90% assembled? Not yanking your chain, I'm just curious. Both the bike description page and several of the build threads are pretty plain about both the Vendetta and Silvio being sold as framesets with...
