Hi Kendrick, If I'am not mistaken, I think your silvio was the first ever cruzbike I ever set my eyes on via youtube, about 10 years ago! John T. was explaining about the design somewhere in Perth , birds chirping and all. I must have watched that video a thousand times! Absolute nostalgia! :):)

Very intertaining and a good story! It's hard work getting all those shots and harder still to edit but great job! I subscribed. Looking forward to more.

I once saw a Silvio 2.0 with a Vendetta front triangle in this forum. I wonder whether a current generation fork , BB and boom from an S40 or v20 can be fitted to the old Vendetta 1.0 main frame? If that is possible then you will only need a new black front triangle.

Wow! That's fast!

+1 on the new headset! I hope it is backward compatible .

Congratulations! Enjoy the ride and post a picture or two of the bike.

Oh, I now understand. I was trying to compare my DF position to a recumbent postion relative to the pedals.

Thanks. Yes, I had watched that video. I will consider those one of these days. I actually have an old pair of Welgo road pedals that appear like look pedals. But due to some hotfoot issues I chose a wider bigger shoe which happened to be spd.

Thanks Billy. Not sure exactly I understand what you mean by the overlay. It's just a photo of me and the S40 before my turn to rollout at the startline.

Another local ITT race in Nairobi. My climbing was not very good on the day.

My two cents: Retaining an 1:1 ration on the lowest gear and still somehow getting a top gear capable of pedalling upto 72Kph(45mph) on a 1x drivetrain is possible but largely inefficient. You can do a 10-46 or a 10-50 cassette paired with a 46T or a 48T chainring for a custom 1x setup. But...

Very interesting!

Impressive Marco!

I suppose then that there must be a tipping point for the BB height. I guess that it is counter productive to have a BB higher than your waist? Anyway, I have also observed that if I have been on my recumbnet for a few hours continuously , stopping and attempting to stand upright results in...

:D:D nope, I just quoted what I came across. It just seems to make sense.

I once read somewhere on the internet that a recumbent cycling position produces a relatively lower heart rate but a higher stroke volume for the same percieved effort compared to what the same individual would have exerted if on an upright bicycle. The reason being that there is a lower...

My cleats are SPD and I placed them fully backwards but did not drill new holes. They are about 10 to 15 mm behind the ball of my foot. It's almost mid-foot considering the size of my shoe. I adjusted the boom to compensate for the shorter leg reach. My reasons to do this was an attempt to...

It applies to all bikes even uprights, unless it's used for very short distances. The difference with Cruzbike is the smaller user base and the lack of a widely tested and documented fit procedure. For the S40, it's all about that seat, padding and the neckrest. Especially the bottom/lowest...

So how is it after riding for some time now? Is the recumbent butt issue gone now?

Came across this video. Thought it might be usefull for someone:
