    Radical Design seat bag

    Jack, Those look pretty good. How are they for putting on and taking off; can you get them off pretty quickly? Have you ridden much with them loaded down? I was curious if they sway around any. Mark

    Ease of seat adjustment

    Keep in mind that moving the seat forward will cause you to adjust the boom/bottom bracket, which will throw your whole positioning off and cause you to have to relearn to a certain extent. Moving the seat itself is easy as loosening the hose clamps and sliding it one way or the other. Where...

    Tail box

    I really shouldn't speak too loud about tail boxes, because I don't know for a fact. I get the impression, though, that here in the States, most people are leaning more toward tail socks. Body socks were popularized by Easy Racers and the tail sock emerged as a spin off of that. Basically...

    44 bar / campag

    I considered this, too. I think the key is to find the sweet spot where the shift lever is easy to hit and the brake lever a bit of a reach. It might take some trial and error, but Campy stuff is just so nice. I think it's worth the effort. The thing I really like about Campy stuff is the...

    Metric system?

    Metric. I think in bicycles; there is some unwritten rule that everything has to be metric. :lol: Mark

    Mark the Cannibal

    Well.... The frameset has officially been ordered! Woo-Hoo!!!!! I cleaned parts tonight and found that most everything cleaned up pretty spiffy, as I expected. The only thing I was dismayed about was the pivot covers on my Mirage brake calipers. They are plastic and the silver paint has...

    Took the Bike for a Walk

    Cool! At least you got out and about. I agree that fixing a flat in the comfort of the mancave; with carpet on the floor,TV, surround sound and a cold beer is hard to trump. Mark

    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...

    Frame number

    I think I remember reading somewhere that they didn't do serial numbers. Instead,the letter of authenticity on the seat.. Mark

    Bike pumps

    I modified a Camelback to hang on the back of my seat. It solves many problems, water totage, tool hauling and the aforementioned pump. Mark

    Silvio Frame Weight

    He posted on his website 5.4 pounds, but I still say that weight is skewed. I saw the head badge in at least three of the pictures.... ;) :lol: Mark

    WTB Mountain Road Bars on Silvio!!

    Brian, Those look darned good! I wonder why a person couldn't chop off that 2-3 inches coming off the drop? Doesn't seem like you would need it and in fact, it looks kind of out of place. Mark
