    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    STOCK BULLHORN Leg clearance shouldn't be a problem, but they are very wide, 57cm compared to deda's 46 cm.

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    STOCK BULLHORN While taking my DEDA off to weld extension tubes on each side, I played with the stock Silvio handle bar. When it stops raining (Thursday or Friday) I'll try this on the road.

    Spring is HERE!! lets see your RIDE!!

    Crud Road Racers Ivan, I'm going to change the front break to a black one. That's the only reason why the front fender isn't installed yet. I have to drill two additional holes in the fender to accommodate for the higher mounting position of the attachment bars. The chain on the 10 speed...

    Spring is HERE!! lets see your RIDE!!

    Bent Up Cycles Aero Bag Rick, looking at your bike, I was seeking to put a ?Bent Up Cycles Aero Bag on a standard Silvio 2.0 seat. Here my solution: With two plastic tube clamps, I added a bracket to the headrest tubes. This bracket prevents the bag from sliding down and touching the rear...

    DEDA HANDLE BAR Ivan, I thinks it's more the angle of view that makes you see it differently. I followed Bob's instructions when cutting the handle bar. Once the ''horn'' of the bull is gone, there is not much straight tube remaining. I'm still going to play with the angle of this set-up...

    My first experiences

    Four days ago I got for the first time on my Silvio. It was a sunny afternoon, but awfully cold and windy. I did some rolling downhill and put my feet on the pedals. But most of the time it was the bike who decided in which direction we went. Today finally spring showed up in our country...

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    I AM WAITING EAGERLY TOO Ivan, for the moment I'm still waiting to get my bullhorn handlebar from the UK. Fortunately our roads start drying up, what allows me to do my initial approach to the Silvio with its stock set-up. As soon as I get the new parts installed I'll keep you posted. As...

    What if the end of the boom look like this

    CLAMP WITH LOCKING That is what it would look like. To get a reasonable cost, this part would have to be molded, machining it would be far too expensive. The washer could be made from an extruded bar, or maybe stamped. In any case, both parts require some investment in costly tooling.

    What if the end of the boom look like this

    Light Mount not sure that a light up there would be very useful. It would light your legs and project a nice shadow play in front of you.

    Bullhorn and Dropbar Options

    Brifters on bullhorn Bob, based on all your exhaustive research I ordered a Deda Crononero Low Rider 460mm wide from the UK. Mrs Ratz's set-up (pics #69) look very convincing. I will give that a try. Marc

    What if the end of the boom look like this

    STEM BRACKET 2nd I refined the initial idea, taking care of possible slippage and clearing the cables. I'm still questioning myself about the loads this particular part sees. Maybe by beefing it up I could get a sufficiently sturdy part printed in ABS. PS.: John, yes I'm designing with...

    What if the end of the boom look like this

    BOOM CLAMP What would you think of a clamp that allows for a height adjustment?

    Let's talk front wheel removal

    YOU CAN TRY CARRYING A The cable tie solution seems to be a perfect work around. But I prefer the idea of a re-usable cable tie. On my Silvio, with a 10 speed cassette, there is not sufficient space left for a permanently installed cable tie.
