Jim, Not sure, I need to do some work on my front end this weekend, I'll take inventory of the parts in my headset and report back. It sounds like you might be short a piece. You need the three spacers to give clearance over the aheadset cap to get your cables into the guides which, IMHO, are...

Jerry, Previously owned kits come up from time to time, but they are frequently attached to bikes. Are you set on a previously owned kit, or would you be interested in new? Have fun!! Mark

Hey Jim! Congrats on pulling the trigger! You're not going to be disappointed in this bike. I never get tired of riding it. You might actually be able to salvage enough brake cable housing from your road bike to do the build, but you definitely need that tandem brake cable. I'd buy all new...

Try reversing the stem. That should give you plenty of clearance. Mark

It's the right general type, but it looks like your seat height might be a tad high. On the other hand, if you have long legs, it could be just fine. The fork looks to be pretty low end and you may find you bottom out on it more than you like. If this is a bike you already own, go for it! If...

Congratulations, Blaine! That's fantastic news; glad you had a great ride. Isn't the Silvio the greatest? If I had to make a guess, I would guess the other Silvio rider you saw was Brewmaster. Mark

Not the exact dimensions, but I remember being shocked how small the box was. Mark

You need to shim it out between the fork and the part of the bracket that hose clamps to the fork. Probably quarter to half an inch. Mark

Welcome, Jburg! Glad to have you here! Mark

With a conversion, it's difficult to say without riding your bike. But, considering it came out f a bike shop, I have to at least consider the fact it's set up correctly. The neat thing about the conversion is; whatever you do, you can always put back if it isn't right. Try it and see if it...

Will you be doing your own build, or having a bike shop assemble? Any preference for components, or are you going to order the Campy package to go with? I'm excited for you! This is a fun bike! Mark

I haven't done it, but I think you would only have to remove the rear wheel, just like you would remove the front wheel on a DF bike. I measure the widest point, the seat, at about 11.25 inches, which will barely fit the width... Really tight. I suspect that collapsing the TFT as much as...

You already need new tires, Jack? Mine are still going strong. Man, maybe I better look again! I don't know as you'll see a huge difference. Maybe none, at all. Try e-bay Mark

That's because you're shifting your hips. Riding these bikes is all about the hips. Mark

I realized I did not post links to the fine pictures taken by Steve and Fredwina. Pictures by Steve Photos by Fredwina (Jana) Mark

While I am not an owner, I would like to take this opportunity to offer my conolences for your rough patch. I'm glad we were able to offer you a moment of sanity here. Unfortunately, you will no longer be allowed to participate here, because we don't appreciate you bombing our site with SPAM...

They are a lot of fun and garner more than a little attention. Welcome to the FWD club! Mark

Here's a bump and a reminder.... Any of you Cruzers planning to attend? I'll be there! Mark

Jack, Did you get those done local, or did you have Mark Stonich do those? I'm planning on putting a shorty triple on my bike, as well. I sure like the way those 155 mm RPM cranks wind up, but I can't get used to the double. Also, I want a standard 52/42/30 instead of the 50/36. Mark

The word that comes immediately to mind is; DROOL! Can't wait to see the bikes! Mark
