Very Nice A great job. The yellow accents and the disk brakes are a nice touch. Would Silvio chainstay extensions allow use of Vendetta Bullhorn bars?

Hole Next To FD Stalk John Dorlon I went back through the Vendetta thread to find more photos of the FD stalk and found two things that might be related to what you observed on your Vendetta. 1. The stalk is welded to the right of center (toward the drive side) on a gusset as...

I Bought A Silvio First I agree wholeheartedly with Andrew's comments above. My first ever recumbent is a Silvio 1.0. Bought sight unseen. That Big Single Step to the Silvio worked for me.

Take A Look Mirror Andrew, I find the Take A Look mounted to my sunglasses perfect for monitoring traffic when I am riding my Silvio. I especially like the ability to visually sweep a very large area behind me by simply rotating my head.

Three years nine months and 3540 miles the engine for the Silvio was finally ready to tackle Loop 375-Woodrow Bean Transmountain Road and climb to the top of Smugglers Pass. Ride began a little after 6:00 AM today. The weather was cool early and there was no wind. GPS map which covers...

Hujsak I rode my Hujsak (pronounced high-sack) until I bought my Silvio. The Hujsak was built in 1987. It had all Shimano 600 components, tubular tires and a Brooks saddle. As technology moved forward so did the saddle, the brake levers and shifters. The wheels and tire were eventually...

NeverReach Nefron, How did you attach the Never Reach to the Silvio? Bruce B

The Silvio was on the road before the sky had completely lost the gray of early morning. The new Dinotte lights, fore and aft, lit the pavement. The drivers of the few cars on the road had no difficulty seeing this bike. Two miles from home the road became wet from a gentle rain that lasted...

To all of the Team, I have watched that video and have looked at all the pictures both on this board and on cyclingexperiences(dot)com. That bike is impressive! Great work! Everyone be sure to view the video full screen. Bruce B

Thanks Drew. I had been considering that model. Bruce

Are there certain trainers that are compatible with the Silvio? Thanks, Bruce

I find to my amazement, again, how the mind's eye can block out what is right in front of one's eyes. Because the "upload attachment" was grayed out, the link did not register as even being there. Here are three photos of the new project. Hope you like them. Bruce

Mark and Bill, Thanks for the comments on starting technique. I have three small jpegs of the bike ready to go. Can they be posted here without going through a link to another site? I have not found instructions at CruzeBike.com on how post pictures. Bruce

Silvio Origin8 Bars Shimano Triple Group 52-39-30 chain wheel and 12-27 cassette Mavic Ksyrium wheels from my DF bike Vittoria Rubino Pro 23 tires from my DF bike SPD pedals, the brand labels have worn off On Friday I rode around the block several times just to get a feel of control and...

Mark, Thanks for the reply. I have the frame put together so I am able to visualize how the rest of the components are going to fit but I did not think about the cables. I have been able to sit on the seat and lean back against the back rest. What a strange sensation after so many years of...

I received my Silvio frame set yesterday so I spent most of the evening putting the bicycle together. As soon as the Shimano Ultegra triple group arrives I will have my LBS install the Silvio head set along with the Shimano components and incidentals. My height is 5' 7". My x-seam is 41 in...

Hi All from El Paso, Texas USA, Today I ordered a Silvio frame. I will use a Shimano Ultegra Triple group and a Origin 8 bar. I plan to have an El Paso bicycle shop put it together as I have only vintage bicycle tools and not enough knowledge to install and fine tune the installation. Our home...
