That looks pretty good! For your computer mount, you might read up on my homebrew mount made of PVC pieces. Probably a lot lighter than that stem. Mark

I'd say as far as streamlining goes, you could probably craft something from Coroplast. If I was the kind to get fussy about such things, I would go with something more in line with a tailsock. You only need three points of connection; seat back and off the axles. Some nice, lightweight...

The only thing I can suggest, Reid, is patience and time in the saddle. There really isn't a quick fix, or a magic potion. Just think of your friend as the proverbial carrot on a stick. Keep focused on the goal and working toward it and you'll be fine. Think long term and not short term, in...

Hello Michael, Welome to the forum! There are a few of us around. I'm farther inland, but would be happy to let you try my bike(s) if you can't find anybody closer and we can arrange it. Which models are you interested in? Mark

Hi Blaine; Welcome to the Silvio club! There is no serial number on the Silvios, just the COA. What I would do is stamp or engrave an ID number in it myself and give them that. Racks, I don't know. Haven't put one on. I'm more inclined to find a bag like the radical bag that Jack put on...

Re: Silvio Technical Review OK, I'm sold! Where do I get one? Oh, wait... :oops: Good job, Doug.... Well done! Mark

So.... Does this mean you won't be attending? :lol: Mark

Glad you got it working. Did you get your other boom yet? Mark

No, I've tried various fixed mirrors on other bicycles and never been particularly satisfied with them. I prefer an eyeglass mounted mirror. No need to turn my head, just a flick of the eyes and I can see clearly what is behind me. I prefer the Take-A-Look mirror to the cheaper plastic ones...

Hi Lev and welcome. The thing you're going to find out is the hardshell seat translates to a tremendous power increase. Mesh seats are comfy and breathe well, but they feel mushy after you get used to a hardshell. The Silvio seat cradles you nicely; I think it's pretty much all day...

That's a good looking conversion! I love that frame; I want one! Mark

That's a pretty good price... I'd rather it was a 52/39, but that's just me! ;) Mark

I've been running Crank Bros. Quattros, which is their road version of the Eggbeater. I have been using carbon soled road shoes and had no real issues. The key is, the Quattro has a large platform around the locking mechanism, which makes them forgiving if you don't mesh right away. I've...

Looks like a pretty neat idea. The big thing would be how firmly that top holds the top of the bottle. As you know, most cages are designed to work more or less straight up and down, or at a laid back angle, as on a down tube. The seat back angle of a Silvio in opposite, which puts the bottle...

It depends, for me. Most of the time, I blast off right from the door. But, sometimes I have to ease into it. FWIW, I'm 47, soon to be 48. Mark

Cool! I'm afraid my little Trek frame will be too short of wheelbase, but I'm going to build it, anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Mark

Yes and no.... Certainly the design is plausible, but the odds of that matching up to the Silvio seat are slim to none. You could no doubt adapt it, or if you knew somebody that could build you one... Certainly it could work. Mark

I think if it were a high-end aluminum frame, where the tubes are paper thin, you might have an issue. If your frame is anything like mine, that aluminum tube is probably thicker than the bracket you're clamping to it. I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your seat is solid and doesn't rock...

Alan, The insert is for 1" steer tubes to adapt them to 1-1/8", which it sounds like you already have 1-1/8". I'll tell you the truth, it's a rare occurence when a person can jump on a Cruzbike and ride like they've been doing it for years. I have seen it happen, but most of us experienced...
