62...You're kidding, right? I hope to look as youthful and fit as you when I am sixty-two! Great photo and a great write-up. I couldn't agree more with your sentiment about the Silvio, but how quickly you've taken to it speaks volumes of you as a cyclist.

SRAM Dual Drive - Maintenance-Free According to SRAM's documentation: "DualDrive hubs are provided with permanent lubrication and maintenance-free under normal conditions." There may not be any added benefit to following Bike Friday's Dual Drive manual and like John said, I...

That reminds me... I had a rather odd dream last night where I was telling my daughter about the advantages of riding a Cruzbike compared to an upright. In my dream, I clearly remember giving the pitch: "Do you want to ride faster and further than you've ever dreamed possible without the...

Yep It's an expensive 30 seconds, and Protect Your What-What would require 3x that amount. Not to speak ill of football fans (I am a Steelers fan after all) but most don't have the attention span for a minute-and-a-half commercial.

Rack Mounts? Charles, I don't believe there are rack mounts on the 2.0. Can you reference an image showing the installation of a rear rack? I'm not saying that it cannot be done, I am just doubtful as to how well an off-the-shelf product would work without modification. Thanks!

I would prefer the Silvio v1.5 The latest iteration of the Silvio (v2.0) is even more performance-oriented than the previous versions. I would consider it a pure race bike, whereas the Silvio v1.x was more adaptable to light duty touring in that it had accomodations for a rear rack.

Brakes You'll also need road caliper brakes. Disc brakes, v-brakes and cantilevers are not compatible with earlier versions of the Silvio. The Silvio 2.0 accepts disc brakes.

Yes. I'm not an expert, but I can imagine that shifting may be compromised by the cable routing or worse yet, steering might be restricted causing an accident. If it's fine, only you can be the judge. I I were to reroute the cables, I would shift the lower derailleur to the smallest cog...

Re-route the Lower Derailleur Cable alt="Sofrider Cable Routing"

Maybe a Bent Chainring I know this would usually be obvious, but a chainring that is slightly bent is sometimes the culprit. The fact that you say the bike will change gears without shifting points to this as a possibility, especially with ramped and pinned chainrings, which have a lesser...

Did you run the cables Did you run the cables through the fork or yoke of the boom slider where it connects to the pivot clamp? I AM PROBABLY NOT USING THE RIGHT TERMINOLOLGY. Ugh...caps lock. Sorry. If you remove the bolts that connect the black boom segment to the clamp, run all four...

Confusing Subject? It's sort of like some confusing newspaper headlines: Gator Attacks Puzzle Experts Milk Drinkers Turn to Powder Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim Red Tape Holds Up New Bridge Depending upon how you read it, different meanings...

@ TMCTGUER I'm not Doug Burton, but I do run Campagnolo Centaur 10 on my beloved Silvio. The external diameter of the cups are in keeping with what you'd find from SRAM or Shimano. With that said, I imagine that the Campy external BB would work just fine on your Vendetta. If I'm mistaken...

I rode a relatively fast I rode a relatively fast 24-mile group ride at 21 mph average last week without my bottom seat pad. I had inadvertently left the seat pad in my wife's car and had to go without it. The Silvio seat was still comfortable even without padding. I am not saying that no...

Just buy it :-) You know you want it already and once you see it, you're not going to be able to resist it. I saw one in person today and even the best photos do not do the Silvio 2.0 justice.

consider the 2.0 Only you can be the judge, but the 2.0 sounds likea good match for the more reclined, agressive position you are used to.

Hello Ville, I assume you are Hello Ville, I assume you are looking for a used frameset? Otherwise you can order directly order a new one directly from Cruzbike. If you are looking for a used one, they do appear occasionally in the forum and sometimes on ebay.

Congrats GREAT bike youu have there. Welcome to the Silvio family.

Differences The hydroformed frame is the biggest change...
