    Why is the adjustable front boom curved on the S40 and V20?

    In short it was to allow the front derailleur to adjust independently of the boom length changes. And now the the long version: The first version of the Silvio version 1.0 or the predecessor of the S40 and the vendetta had the boom straight and front derailleur attached directly to the boom...

    S40- Wow!

    Great idea. For me I can easily reach my rear bottle if it is positioned really low, just behind my lower back (lumbar) or directly behind my head/neck rest. Anywhere in between was difficult . However, I had not tried leaning forward a little. I will try that next time.

    S40- Wow!

    Wow! looks very symetrical! Very well balanced! Love it! However, I doubt you can reach the rear water bottle while riding, can you?

    Comparing Vendetta & DF power outputs

    Good point. Yes, changing positions on the bent is the one major limitation. However, I find that I can achieve minor changes by sliding deeper and forward on the seat allowing me to "drop" my heel or sitting up a little every once in a while. That said it's still not the same as getting out of...

    Comparing Vendetta & DF power outputs

    Interesting comparison between DF and Carbon MBB up a 0.9Km road section of 9% grade by Marco Ruga. To ensure equal weight between the two bikes he carried some water in a "camel back" bladder on the DF. https://biciclettereclinate.blogspot.co.ke/2017/10/il-test-dei-test.html#more
