    Silvio S30

    +1 Jeremy's notes. Bike looks clean and almost new. If you add the extension you'll need to re-cable it. But I suspect you'd want the extension AFTER you learns to ride it stocks; but just a guess. Easy to add and I don't see your height as an obstacle if the boom wasn't' modified.

    Vendetta finally tested

    Front Deraileur adjuster is on the boom. There isn't one on the frames for the drive wheel. Road components will have the adjuster on the Drive wheel Derailleur. MTB stuff will not. You can add an inline anywhere without compromising the integrity of your controls. It's rather handy to have one...

    Underseat bag for Vendetta?

    I've reached out to these guys http://www.bedrockbags.com to work with them to have a custom template made for the vendetta. I bet they'd also be willing to make moose pockets should he be inclined give them the idea. Also looks like they could make a great bag for above the wheel under the seat...

    Underseat bag for Vendetta?

    It's really time to enclose that with something temporary and shoot expanding foam in there to make a mold; and then just figure out what it would take to get a custom bag made. Time to do some research.

    Experiences Silvio S30 installed a Schlumpf SD/HSD & Rohloff hub ?

    On a Silvio you would probably want a mountain drive instead the speed drive. Having used both the HSD and MTD on a trike for over 5000 miles and written rather voluminously about it on BROL; it would be my expectation that on a Silvio the HSD would be in overdrive most of the time. Since over...

    Slivickr in the house...... err the garage

    It's been far to quiet in our Garage lately.... So the building of Mrs Ratz's Training bike has begun and the Slivickr is about ⅓ done. Clean up the rusty bolts just like in the Quickr thread; paint and vanish; dry with hair dryer to save time. Bang on frame with Mallet (required step); install...
