As do I.  What does the As do I. What does the spammer want, anyway? I could not see anything being advertised, or a link to anything. Is there some kind of embedded virus?

I found the Silvio easier I found the Silvio easier than the conversion. Probably a bad choice of donor. I got rid of the conversion-kit, but I still think it is a clever idea, and there are still some people that want one.

I have been commuting on mine I have been commuting on mine for a bit more than 11 months. Yesterday I did no-hands. Just about. Not quite got it yet. So, you are using your bike to carry a complete video production and broadcasting facility. You can get a dynamo-powered phone-charger...

They do a black one as well. They do a black one as well. No red Silvio, I notice.

I started with a conversion I started with a conversion which had quite a high seat. I got rid of it when I got the Silvio2 (You can't have it, by the way). I found the Silvio easier to ride than the conversion. The seat-height and recline of the S are the same as the Grasshopper, which I...

So, I got these Hope brakes. So, I got these Hope brakes. Mountain. So I got the mountain bars. Then got the shims. I got XX1 with a twist-shift. I liked this until it started mis-shifting. I hate mis-shifting. I have been riding along holding the shifter between two clicks. So I...

Why is there only one Rose Why is there only one Rose City in the universe? If there was a Rose City around here I probably would not have bothered with a conversion-kit. I might have bought a Vendetta instead of the Silvio.

On any other HPV, one On any other HPV, one Larry leg would be better than none. Riding a Cruzbike with one Larry leg would make you go round in circles.

Congrats to Mr Oslund and Congrats to Mr Oslund and maximum respect to his legs. Fell off, did he? Sometimes, when people see either of my "sitting down" bikes, they make some joke about falling asleep riding. Well, maybe that's what happened in Larry's case. 24 hours is a long time to...

I now know why I persisted I now know why I persisted with this barmy contraption. I am keeping it.

My steel wedgie racer-tourer My steel wedgie racer-tourer was starting to hurt me. I was doing a thought-experiment about raising the handlebars and lowering the saddle. I realised that this would not help unless taken to extremes. In that case you are sitting close to the ground with the...

I never had a problem with I never had a problem with the Rohloff shifter on my Grasshopper. The only bad thing about Rohloff is the weight. So they replace a perfectly good shifter with extra weight.

I am considering replacing I am considering replacing these Hope brakes with Hylex. I think I might want bigger rotors than the supplied ones. What would happen if I combined non-TRP rotors with Hylex calipers? Would there be some kind of organ-rejection between the rotors and the pads...

Tilt lock is good, but Tilt lock is good, but consider this: Springs which are soft most of the time, and then you pull the lever and the springs go really hard. At low speed it is almost stable, but wobbles a bit, and is self-standing. More complicated than a lock, but you can get...

Jeremy is right.  It needs to Jeremy is right. It needs to hang from its axle or stand on springs, otherwise it won't stand up, exactly like a bicycle doesn't.

Finally I got a Finally I got a speedo fitted, with a cadence-meter, and that was not easy. Near my home is a long, straight, flat road, like an aircraft runway. Today the wind is light and blowing across the road, so I decided to do a test. I went along the road, turned round and went back...

Dad took the stabilisers off, Dad took the stabilisers off, and I was wobbling all over the place. Eventually I got used to it, and was riding bikes without thinking. I got a 'bent. Everone thought I was daft, especially when they saw me attempting to actually use it. Now I whizz around...

I ride my Grasshopper like I ride my Grasshopper like that. Okay, maybe not that extreme. I am slightly getting like that on the Silvio. If I remember to relax.
