Well done Ivan. It's just a Well done Ivan. It's just a matter of practice and it will become second nature. It actually is easier than on a DF. On private roads, I can ride figure 8's and even U turns hands free. I also can descend 2-5% grades at 30+KM/h hands free. With a bit of a...

@ I like your camping setup! @currystomper, I like your camping setup! Are those panniers these ones on ebay?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370878100252?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Was considering them for some overnight bicycle camping rig. The softrider can...

Looks like he needs a steerer Looks like he needs a steerer extension, to raise the handlebar a little bit to give some clearance above the torso area.:

Generally FWD on loose gravel Generally FWD on loose gravel doesn't work very well especially uphill. You will need some low pressure tires with plenty of grippy surface area, otherwise it will be frustrating.

What about the On-One Midge Bar? I found some pictures of original WTB, new WTB and a Midge on the mtb forums and thought it would be interesing for those looking for alternat bars. The Midge Bar seems closer in resemblance the Origin 8 bars and is in production in both 25.4 and 31.8 clamp...

Oh and a couple more Oh and a couple more "alternate bars" pictures: alt="Bars compared" alt="Comparisons"

Silvio 2 and Vendetta Wow ?@scabinetguy, your position on your two bikes are almost identical! When I superimpose your two pictures, the Silvio places your head slightly higher, about 1.5" to 2" by my estimation. That may explain the difference in speeds above 22mph (approx 35Kph), in...

Congratulations to the Congratulations to the Cruzbike family!

Try bridging to accelerate Nice work ratz! The "quiver" idea really looks cool. Getting the water bottle looks like you are fetching an arrow lol! I couldn't help but notice that you seem to sit up to put power on the pedals. If you have no known back problems then maybe you should try...

  .. I'd like the chainstay Hello John, I respect your designs they are very well thought out. However I was wondering whether it is possible to actually have a dropout but move the pivot or rotation point and the RD hanger hanger to be just above the dropout as a press-fit or a...

Very nice photo! Looks Powerful and fast! You really look good on that bike Ivan. That photo looks like you are screaming fast!

It all about the volumes If it was possible to make the two models to share as many components as possible then their volumes will compensate for each other hence their prices can only be slightly different from each other, hopefully even lower. For example, hypothetically speaking, if...

Ouch! Wish you quick recovery Ouch! Wish you quick recovery Ivan!

Great Bikes Ratz! Great Bikes Ratz! You have one happy family there! Just curious, does drilling the boom weaken it?

Great modification scabinetguy! Wow that's a nice modification on the extension! Your bikes looks super cool too! How do you compare your Silvio-2 with your extension against your Vendetta?

Lovely Bike! I know a lot has been said about the Silvio-2's but whenever I see a new assembly I can't help but say it's a lovely bike!

It looks like it interferes It looks like it interferes with the suspension. As the suspension flexes, something l will eventually give. It should either be exclusively linked to the rear seat stay or the main frame i.e (seat back, and/or neck rest) but not both.

Very cool Ivan! It also looks Very cool Ivan! It also looks like it was a fast ride!

Wow! Great video and great Silvio handling! Great video Ivan! That maneuver at 0:27 is brave to say the least! However a mounted camera can make it look more scary than it really is because it doesn't give the almost full 360 degree view that the rider actually has considering the Zefal...
