    Silvio 1.5 for sale in UK

    Hello I have a Silvio 1.5 for sale in Berkshire in the UK - CBSV117. I bought her back in Feb 2012 then used her to commute through summer 2012 so she's done approx 2000 miles. She's been standing idle (indoors) since but is in perfect condition. The detail: SRAM Rival Groupset: SRAM...

    Befitting of a Silvio: Shimano Di2

    Keep us posted If anyone does fit the DI2 to a Silvio do keep us posted. I'd be interested to hear how it goes.... My mind says it's not going to make much difference but my heart tells me to give it a try. Cheers TH

    First impressions on riding CBSV117

    No dealer in UK (yet) & other bits ... Responding to your first post Mick: I too have back problems that can (but generally don't) manifest on a DF. My DF is a 25" Claude Butler Sovereign from 1981. It is admittedly slightly oversized for me but I've ridden it for years, had every ball...

    Spot on Thanks Mick - exactly what I needed. Couldn't make the leap to sqeezing the front fittings round the elastometer but it makes sense now. That'll be no problem and I'm glad I asked rather than bodged something else together. I'll respond to your first post this evening - have to fly...

    Pics of Axion rack fittings please?

    Looks sensible - thanks Thanks Tim - I see clearly on your pics how that works. It's not an identical rack but some similar arrangement could be "tinkered up". I too am a tinkerer so may yet get to that but I was wondering if I'm missing something obvious. My expectation was that the rack...

    Pics of Axion rack fittings please?

    I've just built CBSV117 but can't see how the rack fits without interfering with the rear brake. If anyone has any close up pictures of how an Axion journey adjustable 2429 rack fits onto the Silvio I'd be grateful please to see them. Thanks in anticipation.

    First impressions on riding CBSV117

    The last parts of CBSV117 arrived a couple of weeks back and I completed the build last weekend by which time it was dark and wet so I decided to wait until this weekend before attempting my first ride. I'm at work during the daylight hours in the week and preferred the thought of dry and...

    Silvio front gear cable arrangement?

    Thanks - All sorted now Thanks guys for the posts. As is ususally the way I stumbled on the pic you point me to Doug a few mins after posting my query last night - having previously searched in vain. I used some gear cable but accept (and agree with) your last post Doug so I'll get this...

    Silvio front gear cable arrangement?

    I'm new to Cruzbikes and am in the process of building a Silvio 1.5. I can't see how the front gear cable is supposed to feed around the bottom bracket and attach to the derailleur as there is no guide or other supplied parts that facilitate this. I can think of a couple of arrangements that...

    Looking for a Silvio

    Still interested in the UK Thanks for the response - apologies for not having responded sooner. I've been busy and not monitoring the forum for a week or two & was expecting an email alert which I never saw. One of my colleagues has a fiancé in Houston and pops over occasionally so it...

    Looking for a Silvio

    Ben's Silvio Hello Ben - Is your Silvio still for sale? If its still for sale please let me know. I'd be interested in all the tech spec and pics if you have them. I'm a recumbent fan in the UK but currently ride a DF and am looking to convert to a Cruzbike Silvio. I can be reached on...
