Got a frameset and am just about finished with the build. One issue though that I wanted to ask the group about. I just installed the chain and the chainline is off. When the chain is in the lowest sprocket on the cassette (11T) and the lowest chainring (34T), the chain rubs the inside of...

Just ordered a V20 frameset (standard size--still out of stock). Starting to think about components. Mostly rolling hills in my area, but would like to have low gearing option for the occasional big hill---but don't want a triple. Has anyone tried the OneUp 40T or 42T sprocket? According to...

I previously owned a Silvio 2.0, and plan to purchase a V20 when they are back in stock. As I start to think about components, I recall that one issue I had on the Silvio was that my right leg rubbed the side of the front brake when pedaling (was using a typical Shimano ultegra side pull rim...

Anybody using the "swing trainer" concept for winter training? See video below. In sum, the idea is to hang the rear wheel from the ceiling and place the front wheel on a trainer. This allows the bike to move and encourages pedaling with the right cadence and consistency. Haven't tried it...

On the new page for the V20, there is a reference to "custom fitting" when the bike is ordered, and the buyer is referred to the "bike fit" page where various leg, torso, etc. measurements are requested. Does anyone know what changes to a bike frame that these variables effect? Is it just the...

If interested, please see my ad on BROL. If anyone is looking to swap a Vendetta V20, I might be interested in working out a trade (looking to get more reclined). Thanks http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=120179

I thought I saw that the new V20 is set up for disc brakes. I presume the spacing is 130mm, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to set up disc brakes. Anyone tried this?

Here is a picture of how I have mounted a rear light to the Silvio 2. This is a Light and Motion Vis 180 and is attached to the rear seat stay. The seat stay is pretty narrow, and I am bit worried that if I hit a bump the light may rotate into the spokes of the wheel. How have others mounted...

Have seen others inquire about modifying the seat on a Silvio 2.0, so I thought I would share the modification I am trying out. As a starting point, I've liked everything about the new Silvio, except that I have struggled to get comfortable on the seat. It is not a matter of too much recline...

BIKE IS SOLD Please see link below for my ad on BROL for a Silvio 1.0 Frameset...... http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=102856

Got my new Silvio 2.0 up and running....beatiful bike and rides great and fast. Am struggling a bit though with getting comfortable on the seat and headrest and wondered if anybody else has had the same issue. Previously, I have owned and ridden "highracer" bikes where the one-piece seat had...

Not sure I'd recommend this, but attached is a picture of my Silvio 2 on a trunk rack. Ended up securing the slider/boom on the rack, and it worked pretty well for a short distance drive. Note the piece of "swimming noodle" on the rear chainstay to keep it from swaying and bumping the car.

I just ordered this for my Silvio 2.0. Inner chainring is 30T but is 92 bcd unlike the traditional 74 bcd for triples. I think I've seen a few other references on the forum to folks using this on either the new Silvio or Vendetta. Does anyone have a picture of the modifications they made to...

Anyone have any issues routing cables so they don't interfere with leg-room for pedaling? See pic below, I have 9 speed brifters and the initial cabling of the bike resulted in not having enough leg room to pedal (knees hit cables on the upswing). The cables in question are for the shifters...

I'm struggling a bit with which bolts to use in certain spots on the new Silvio 2.0. In particular, I'm not sure which nut/bolt combination to use in the boom clamp that connections to the fork steer clamp (see attached pictures). If there is someone that can give me some guidance on the...

looks great Jeremy.  Do you looks great Jeremy. Do you know your approximate x-seam? I ask because there is a striking difference between the height of your bottom bracket and some of the others that have used the chainstay extender (such as Ivan). Of course, x-seam will affect the height in...

Saw that the new 2.0 frameset was now in the "for sale" section, so went ahead and placed an order. Will transfer parts from my Silvio 1.0. Not sure what production timing is, but hopefully won't be too long. Although I know others have differing opinions and preferences, I'm personally...

Just wondering if the new Vendetta will have the same sizing as the older model (or more practically, I'm wondering if the sizing chart and guidance in the linked article stil applies). thanks! http://cruzbike.com/how-choose-your-vendetta-setup

Was wondering if I could buy a new "curved nose" as used in the new Silvios and use it on my older model Silvio. Would really only affect aesthetics, but I've been thinking of ordering the chainstay extension, so thought about doing this as well. Anyway, I may call Cruzbike to inquire, but...

Please forgive me if this is already described somewhere, but I didn't see it. With respect to the new Vendetta sizings, is the only difference between the sizes the length of the chain stay? If so, would it be possible to order one size and easily (or fairly easily) convert it to another size...
