    how to park the Silvio

    Parking There's nothing wrong with laying down the Silvio gently on a soft surface; I do it on grass but would not do the same on asphalt or other hard surface. As for parking and leaning the Silvio, I turn the front toward the non-drive side completely. Take care to prevent the pedals...

    At last, the first ride on my Silvio 2.0

    ^ Gorgeous Welds I've seen the liner used on the Vendetta, so why not buy an length of that and give it a go. I have to say, those welds on the boom are absolutely gorgeous. I used to own a Cervelo Soloist that had the same type of anodized finish and the welds were as good as this.

    Carbon Seats for the Silvio and Vendetta?

    Pros and Cons of The Current Seat Is there a disadvantage to the current fiberglass seat with the carbon lamination over a fully carbon seat? I admit that when I first saw the backside of Eric's seat, I was disappointed with the "raw" look of the exposed fibers, but with the seat mounted, it is...

    Cruzbike Recumbents Vs Other Recumbents

    My experience I owned a Vision R-40 which was a capable little bike and a decent climber and I owned a Sun EZ Speedster CX which was fun to ride but slow no matter what the terrain. I also have ridden a P-38 which was a phenomenal climber and had a couple weeks getting used to a Sofrider. Now I...

    Loaded Silvio 2.0

    While I don't have a 2.0... I found a decent way to carry everything I need to commute to work using a $40 Avernir pannier set without a rack. I think the idea would work even better on the 2.0 with a bit of ingenuity. I'll try to get some pics tonight.

    Another trip to the shop

    This is the kind of ride This is the kind of ride report that I enjoy reading; it's a bit about the bike, a bit about the ride, but mostly about the experience and the meandering thoughts that occur while you are out on the bike. Reading has made me want to do two things: ride through the...

    Silvio 2.0 disc hubs

    I've seen heel slings Hostel Shoppe sells heel slings which perform the same function as your heel clips, but maybe your clip idea is better. I have never used such a thing as I use clipless pedals, but I can see there being a market for what you have, especially trike owners.

    New Silvio in NE Ohio

    Water Bottle I recently mounted a bottle cage in the same location and it is really working out well for me. I tend to keep better hydrated as the bottle is right there in front of me. Great looking Silvio, by the way. How are the bar-end shifters working for you?

    Silvio 2.0 Journey, Build, and Ride Video

    Great video Ivan I love how the kids are completely into it too. No doubt about it, I am planning to have a 2.0 in the future.

    Silvio 2.0 Journey, Build, and Ride Video

    Even Better than a Hacksaw I like using a high-quality pipe-cutter. The cut is perfect with a machined appearance to the edge. Of course, some folks are better with a saw, so it's all personal preference.
