A Silvetta was expected and it looks really nice. Like my Vendetta a lot but if I was buying today I probably get the new S30. Probably the almost perfect bike for brevets.... So next dreambike is a V20 with rear suspension and a adjustable seatangle ;)

Hi Some updates… The bike is running well and I’m happy that I finally decided to go for a new Cruzbike... One of my goals with this bike was to do a full series of brevets this year... I am not so well trained so the goal this time with the brevets was not the speed, only to do the distances...

Looks very nice and comfortble... The neckrest also got my attension!! where to buy??

I will have M size so the pad you have will probably be too big on my seat, dont you Think??

I am 1.75 and was recomended M size by Greg the owner of Thor seats. Model Sport G Unfortunally there are no Carrier seat for low seatangles....

Thanks Rick

I was looking at ventisit.nl to find a seatpad for the Thor sport but couldnt find one... Is the Thor seat similar to some other seat that can be found on the ventiseat list?

That bar really seem to fit perfekt without a curved slider... comfortable and aero... After cycling season maybe its time for upgrades... a bad thing was that the seller so not ship outside US.....

What kind of bullhorn bar is it ?

Just a simple Shed Construction made of a thin metalprofiles and some plywood. fixed to the frame at the headrest tubes and the adjustment screws under the Seat. Also used the holes for discbrakecaliper.... works fine at least for now...

Needed a fast budget soulution for water and stuff för my new vendetta... so some old parts and a few hours later it ended up like this....

The bike is now ready and it ended up slightly different from my original plans.... Took some more time to choose and get the parts and get the Wheels buildt... Pacenti sl 23 rims with Hope rs mono hubs, 28 spokes on both wheels. Tyres tubeless pro ones 28mm. Group 2*11 with 165 mm crankarms...

Thanks Ratz and also your build diary is nice as well as timing :) Will go for the 165 mm shimano 105.. witch one?

Frame kit showed up today :):):) have some questions about some components...need to order! .. appreciate some advice... what type of front derailleur should I choose, clamp or braze on? The hope bracket, is it the 68/73, 83 or road ? What kind of derailleur hanger do I need... press fit and...

Thanks Rats and Apollo for the suggestions and the budget might be a little flexible for good reasons.... My plan was to buy as much as possible from the same dealer in England were a complete Group Shimano 105 5800 cost 360 euro... (another 160 euro for an upgrade to Ultegra..with 170 mm...

Seems like you are talking me out of budget here.... witch model will you suggest? any cheaper alternatives?

Here is the spec about the 105 group... will these parts work ?? Bottom Bracket: BB-R60 (68mm) Brakes: 105 BR-5800 (with R55C4 brake pads for non-carbon braking surface) Cassette: 105 CS-5800 12-25, 11-28 or 11-32 11-Speed Chain: CN-HG600 11 Speed Chainset: 105 FC-5800, available in 50/34...

Thanks, but think I`m too slow and too short.... will probably go for 50/34 with 11-32 or 36.... and 165 mm cranks...

Thanks David, just buying the frameset was a huge push... and there is still some other limits because I can not provide the bike with the best rider... accually not even a good one...... yet!! but will work on that.. and upgrades to think about next long winter is also nice... :)

Hi After a lot of reading on this forum I finally made up my mind and decide to go for the vendetta instead of the Silvio and for me it was a quite difficult decision because my goal is to build an efficient bike for long distance riding like brevets. (Better comfort or some higher speed?? ) I...
