Don't hug the edge of the Don't hug the edge of the lane too much - thus inviting cars to "brush pass" you as you take the "I am not worthy" position along the white line. No matter how good of a rider you become. Take the lane if you at all feel like you need to, and people can wait. Or...

25mm Tires are nearly perfect 25mm Tires are nearly perfect for a Silvio (or Vendetta for that matter) Just enough clearance and the ride is very plush on the Silvio compared to my former highracers. I am running Panaracers in 25mm and they are great.

Super sweet setup!! Super sweet setup!!

I am just about 6' tall with I am just about 6' tall with a 42.5 x seam. The 150mm extension makes the fit for me a near impossible geometry (BB to seat height to handlebar placement) but I will be trying the 100mm extension when it is available to get a bit higher BB and experiment with that...

Andrew - Yes I am in SW Andrew - Yes I am in SW Portland. :) I favor the Cyclestar mirrors mainly as it is a very clear glass mirror. Perfect optics. The Zefal is not bad, however. It does sit nicely against the bars. But if you are wanting/used to a super clear view it won't...

As a new distributor for Cruzbike here in Portland and in the process of setting up my small fleet of Cruzbikes I have been riding them alot - the Silvio more than most at the moment. I have ridden two wheel recumbents of all types since 2005. My first recumbent ever was an old MTB...

Indeed - the Silvio 2.0 seat Indeed - the Silvio 2.0 seat and Vendetta seat pads are the same. Robert

B&M Cyclestar are also very B&M Cyclestar are also very good.

You are going to be in for a You are going to be in for a real treat! Congratulations!

Larry, Interesting. There Larry, Interesting. There must be a slight difference in where everything winds up between that hub and the "altered" DT Swiss 350. The spacing is just not the same. I did a bit of research and found that DT Swiss acknowledges the dust cap swap as an accepted way...

That is some great video! That is some great video! Very good quality!

I just finished a Silvio 2.0 I just finished a Silvio 2.0 build with disc brakes - the 135mm hub will fit but do not expect it to just slide into place - there is a bit of fork spreading involved. But I do believe a 135mm hub is the only way to fit the front with disc brakes, as with a...

That is a sharp looking That is a sharp looking setup!

That looks great! To confirm That looks great! To confirm on the brakes, a 160mm disc rotor will fit in the rear if you want them to match.

Interesting - particularly Interesting - particularly that the Q ring clears without grinding. Triple cranksets are rapidly going the way of the dinosaur it seems, so stock up I suppose! ;-) I do wonder - are you close to stall speed with that low of a granny? When I rode my older...

Having the nut sets for a Having the nut sets for a bottle cage is a very nice feature - it would be a shame to lose those. They fall into the category of cup holders in a car - if there aren't any in a new model the reaction from a buyer would likely be "huh???" I have tried all of...

GREAT pictures and a GREAT pictures and a beautiful Silvio!

Good list That is a good list that will get you rolling quite nicely. I agree with ratz on a lot of his suggestions on chain etc. Disc brakes are going on my Silvio build. Note - I believe the rear requires 140mm for the install. 160mm up front. If I am incorrect here please correct me...

I too would be very I too would be very interested to see detail of how the POC seat fits this bike, as that is my all time favorite seat. I had one on my old Rans Force 5, two other high racers, and an ICE trike. Robert
