    Photo Albums

    I pondered the photo album thing and I believe keeping the Yahoo sight for that is worth the price of admission. Just leave it there. Personally, I never bothered with it. I have a Photobucket account, which is totally free. I upload all my pictures there and it's real easy to link on the...

    WTB Mountain Road Bars on Silvio!!

    Brian, You're inching closer and closer to getting back on my Christmas card list. If these bars work out, who knows? You could end up getting year end family update letter, as well. Corona is a rat race and gateway to hell (Orange County). Unfortunately, urban sprawl has kind of engulfed...

    Relaxing more and more

    Yeah, it really is amazing. I climbed more on my 42 fat and out of shape than I ever did on my Vision when I was in real good shape. I can't wait to get in some kind of good shape. I got winded more than ran out of power. Mark

    Relaxing more and more

    All it takes is time in the saddle. I'm getting so much more comfortable on the bike... I'm down now to just very light grip on the bars, one handed is a snap. I can almost take my hands completely off the bars. I think it's close to being a situation where I just need to "man up" and do it...

    Silvio Bragging

    Thank you, Jack! Yes, it's very good news. I'm kind of geeky right now in anticipation. I was going to order the frameset this morning, but by the time I paid shipping, I would have less than $15 in my account. Tomorrow, I get the money for my other bike, so I will order it after that takes...

    Silvio Bragging

    I own the donor already. I have a Pinarello that's just hanging around. It's a nine speed triple, Mirage group. That should get me rolling. I'll just need to buy cables, housing and probably a bottom bracket, since I'm sure that one is Italian. Possibly a chain, depending on how long the...

    My Ultegra Triple equipped Silvio

    There is much wisdom in these words. For that reason, I'm going to set my bike up with the road triple off a 9 speed road bike I already have. Then, I'll just sit back, relax, and see what the hot ticket is to upgrade to. ;) Mark

    WTB Mountain Road Bars on Silvio!!

    Mmmm, my flat bars are pretty short and I can ride one handed. I'd attribute this to another week on the bike, more than the bars. Comfort, however, cannot be argued with. Thanks for the update! Mark

    any long-legged Silvio riders?

    I have about a 45 x-seam and will be ordering my Silvio this week. If you can wait a couple weeks, I'll be happy to comply. Mark
