For Sale: Silvio 2.0 Cruzbike


Silvio 2.1 (NOTE: the frame says 2.0, but we call this version of the 2.0 the 2.1 due to the paint scheme and a couple of small improvements over the original 2.0)
This Silvio has been MODIFIED with a Hostel Shoppe seat conversion, Ventisit seat pad, ADEM adjustable neckrest. The ADEM neckrest has also been modified with CURVED ABS pad holder and a Ventisit neckrest pad.. Also included is the original ADEM neckrest pad.


This bike is in Good condition and well maintained. Tires & tubes + chain + brake pads and Bottom Bracket replaced every 3000 miles; last done spring 2024. The bike has never been wrecked, however there are a couple of minor scratches on shifters and small scratch on frame. This bike has averaged 2000 miles over the last 9 years and remains as comfortable today as when I first bought it. Sadly, have to part with it as wife will not allow N+2 in garage.

What is the seat angle after the conversion?

How is the sizing on this model - would it accommodate a 46 x-seam and 215 lbs weight?

The original 2.0 angle was ~ 28 degrees. I think this is closer to 32-34 degrees with conversion. A chainstay extender can be added to accommodate your longer x-seam; the MBB should not be an issue. I run 700X28 tires with 80 psi; would see no problem with weight if you drop to around 70 psi.

Hey, will you take 1000.00 and I can pick it up tomorrow. I am about 2 hours south in Ky. I have never been on a recumbent. Trying something new.

Starting on a cruzbike without ever being on a recumbent will be challenging. Can you ride something local first? Don't want you make a trip and decide it's not for you. I will be home tomorrow; knock off $100 for local pickup. Let me know and we can PM as to time and place.

I need to ask my wife if she wants to go on a road trip. I'm not sure what time. What's a good time for you?

anytime after 10A is fine. There is a good flat trail at 75th street and N College avenue where you can park and ride next to Broad Ripple village, which is a good place for food. I'll have bike there when ETA is close.
