Compounded errors I will try it again. The 1st problem in understanding this clamp mechanism is that at the time I received the frame there were no instructions on assembling the head rest. The 2nd was that the clamp was apparently placed upside down when it was shipped, leading to more...

Upside down Thanks for that photo John. Mine was one of the batch that had the clamp shipped upside down (with the open side on the bottom). It looks like the rubber tubing must be left on to tighten things up enough for the clamp to work. I took the tubing off because it interfered with...

schadenfreude? It is somewhat comforting to know that a bike shop mechanic could not figure out how to make that scissors clamp work either.

Still trying Thanks Jermy & John. I just tried turning the clamp upside down and it still doesn't work. I realize that the scissors clamp does not spread wide enough to force the head rest tubes against the seat tube. I can insert the clamp and pull it up & down and it doesn't tighten...

Assembly instructions are out! I'm glad that CruzBike finally posted the assembly instructions for the Silvio 2.0. This should makes things go a lot smoother. I wish they had included something about how to deal with the problem of the small chain ring interference with the bottom bracket...

Coming together The component package arrived yesterday except for a missing bottom bracket bearing set. I picked up the bearings at my LBS today and I might have it ready to ride tomorrow.

My Silvio frame arrived over 2 weeks ago. Today my wheels arrived - nothing else. I'm anxious to get on the road. Ahh, but good things come to those who wait. Is anyone else still waiting on the components?
