Is there a weight limit for silvio

[Cruzn Trav 1]

Does anyone know

I weigh around 95kg and am on the way down from 102kg
Lost weight from taking up cycling
15 kg to go
Am I to heavy at present

I am riding a DF but really like the silvio

I weigh about 25 pounds more than you do and have had no problems. Wheels could be a limiting factor, but even then, as long as you stay away from the super low spoke-count wheels, you should be fine. The Silvio frame and fork are quite robust and well made.

Thanks Mark

I am very keen on the silvio and am glad to hear that I am not too heavy.
If I can get a good deal I am pretty sure I will get one soon.
I have narrowed down my possibilities to the silvio or optima cougar pro.
Having JT in the same city should help to sell a few more for him.
Might try to tee up a test ride and meet the man himself.
My best friend rides with JT and others regularly.
He has a Bacchetta corsa.

Looking forward to my 1st ride on silvio
Could take a couple of weeks

Oh God of production management, why didst thou foresake me.

The Silvios created after the first 12 continued to have that same sticker placed on them. The beauty of our production team is that they never make an assumption, so since I forgot to ask them not to place the sticker, it continued to say 'first twelve'.

The first twelve purchasers have from me a confirmation number from one to twelve.

Sorry bout this wee glitch.

A nice luxury problem how about adding more numbers? Production number 20000 to 25000. :idea:
