Went to Las Vegas for Easter (visiting family, not gambling). I never turned a pedal. I feel so..... dirty! :lol: Mark

Jack, Did you get those done local, or did you have Mark Stonich do those? I'm planning on putting a shorty triple on my bike, as well. I sure like the way those 155 mm RPM cranks wind up, but I can't get used to the double. Also, I want a standard 52/42/30 instead of the 50/36. Mark

The word that comes immediately to mind is; DROOL! Can't wait to see the bikes! Mark

Mamoka, I wasn't so worried about you being able to run it extended like that; more so I was curious to see if there was any point where it WOULD clear. It seems like that cassette is not the best for everybody of all leg lengths. Mark

I guess I passed my one year anniversary of being Silvioised and didn't realize it! Time flies when you are, too! Mark

Try something for me. Adjust your TFT out farther (don't forget to loosen the QR so you don't flex the stays) and see if there is a point where the chain will go to the 13 with no rub. Mark

I sure like those old Visions. sigh Mark

Doug.... Think there might be knee/shifter issues? I was thinking that could cause some serious issues. Mark

The first century is always the toughest and it's the same with doubles. So much of it is mental and once you know you can do something, it's much easier the next time. It ain't nothin' but a thing, brother! Mark

(sheepishly raises hand) GUILTY! :lol: :lol: Mark

I'm going to do double centuries, that's what I'm building up to. I have no interest in metric doubles. Thanks for the links, though! Mark

TD2, It looks like you can still flip the seat post clamp to the inside of the rails and lower the post some more. You might not have to bend the post. Nice looking ride can't wait to hear how she rides Mark

A friend of mine that I used to do double centuries with told me about a route he had found. He told me it was 135-140 miles and I reckoned I was about ready for such a feat, so yesterday (Sat. 4/5) was the day. We met at the regular starting place as usual. Our club president toyed with the...

So, will you wrap those pretty CF bar ends to tie up the cables, then? Mark

How do the brake cables run? Mark

Nice Job! I like the looks of that! Mark

I don't know.... I know the suspension helps, but you can still get your teeth rattled, let me tell you! :shock: Mark

The new ones still has a cable stop by the head tube, but the cable is left long and internally routed instead of following the contours of the seats. There are also cable guides on the TFT. There are pictures by Brewmaster: Mark

I think when I did it on a road bike, I ran a coat hanger through and fished it through. I don't remember. My Silvio doesn't have such fancities. Is that a word? :?: Good job figuring it out! Mark

Thanks for posting the pics over here, Pete. I think you'll get a handle on the bike pretty quickly... Be mindful of your hips... They can be your friend, but they can be your worst enemy. Keep in mind where the steering is, basically right between your legs. Too much hip action is bad...
