    Flat Front Shock

    I think that there is no need to make the boom pivot above the stem. The fork is the element in the front triangle that changes it's length when the suspension compresses. The boom remains rigid and the carbon fiber chainstay flexes to compensate for the retractation of the fork.

    QX100 Steering Mod

    Although I'm not implicated in this issue, I think there is nothing wrong with it. As I wrote earlier: Great to see people working on product improvement / modification. The sliders/front ends are not available separately for the V or the S. If they where, it could be interresting for Silvio 2...

    Update on Abbott

    Abbott, I'm pleased to see you well informed/equipped. I recently got an underskin heart rate monitor to analyse my atrial fibrilation. Science makes us bionic men :) If you can get a hand on Martin Ford's book ''Rise of the robots'', I can only recommend it for the insight of the upcoming...

    Silvio 2.2 frameset build questions

    I don't know if a lower bottom bracket helps for balance. A more upright seat position would help for sure. I mesure 5'9'' only and ride with a 100mm chainstay extension, and 150mm cranks. I couldn't try my new short cranks on the road, but when riding on rollers they feel ok.
