Thank you very much @CoolBreeze . Much appreciated. I always try to keep an open mind to any good ideas, becuase somewhere in the multitude and diversity of ideas there is wisdom. This is how improvements come, by thinking out of the box. Every bike design has pros and cons, but the recumbent...

The grip may be just an instance of motion captured by the picture (I think he was accelerating) but looking at the brief videos it doesn't appear any different from the ordinary MBB though. The engineering is pretty facinating though. It appears like the hands have a greater leverage than the...

Good points for discussion. With a partial fairing over the cassette and derailuer it can be a pretty clean frontend without a flop.

I was watching the laidback bike report by Gary Solomon and they were discussing an interesting MBB style bicycle designed by Ron Thompson similar to the one formally built by the French, Kervelo, but this time using dual chain drive instead of a pinion drive. It can make a good mid/low racer...

Thanks Robert. Maybe in the future there should be : a set of four spring washers included (one for each bolt) between the clamps and the chainstay to limit the minimum gap possible. A torque setting printed on the clamps for those who have a torque wrench to refer to.

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.
