A Recumbent in the Savanah:

Came across this very clever adjustable seat angle design! It affects the headtube angle but wow!

Wow! That first photo! Talk about minimal frontal area !

My friction barend shifters in action:

Very creative setup!

Discalimer: Iam not a Vendetta owner :). However , if Vendetta 1.5 frame a has a 68mm English threaded bottom bracket shell , then I suppose a BB-RS500 Hollowtech-II BB should fit well. @Robert Holler can confirm.

Is this what you are looking for http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOMI/on-one-midge-handlebar. ?

Wow! I guess there's no wheel spin on that one! Very long!

Bar end shifters on my homebuild. They work well. These are friction (Dia Compe Silver Ratchet shifters mounted on "ON ONE" Midge flared bars) and take a little practice to get them to shift precisely. The shift levers are a tad too long for my taste but I can live with them.

Yes, you are right, according to Wikipedia, "Because of the higher mechanical advantage of V-brakes, they require brake levers with longer cable travel than levers intended for older types of brakes. Mechanical (i.e. cable-actuated) disc brakes use the same amount of cable travel as V-brakes...

Your modification makes you bike look like the Silvio Version 1.0 Have you considered a flared drop handlebar? That way you can use road bike brake levers and have multiple hand positions to reduce fatigue. http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOMI/on-one-midge-handlebar.

Goodness gracious! Your bike is beautiful! Cruzbike should add that theme option to the V20 lineup maybe a YV20! At what point would you use the 42t sprocket?!

@trplay has this setup and I wanted to know whether it has ever poked him: It really looks nice.

I have seen pictures of @trplay and LIEF ZIMMERMAN with bar end shifters on their Silvio. I am thinking of trying out bar-end shifters on a flared drop bar (On One Midge bar) for my home-build. How have you found them on your Silvio in terms of functionality and safety. Have they ever poked your...

Thanks Rob! Yes, got to enjoy what one has as much as possible.. it's heavy but fun to ride all the same.

Aah the Silvio! :rolleyes: The sound of that always make me dream: I wish I could afford one S30 with a curved boom ... well maybe one day ...

Yes, I also think for a quick day to day use in traffic an upright (bicycle) is little more robust because of the ease to manoeuvre over speed bumps, starting and stoping e.t.c. The recumbent is for the more relaxed longer rides I guess..

Thanks Charles! You haven't posted your rides for a while. Hope you still enjoy your Cruzbike!

Sure is! It's right in the middle (literally) of Africa,:) just below the equator. It's almost always warm!

.. To good health and may you all enjoy your rides
