The seat is made of bent
The seat is made of bent plywood. The foam is the same stuff Bacchetta uses on their seats
Took it out to a big empty parking lot today. 2 gears to run in, no brakes, the seat kinda cobbled onto the frame and it is, in fact, a rideable bike. I spent about a half an hour doing starts and figure 8s, much to the amusement of a few skateboarders who thought it was the coolest bike they had ever seen.
Now it needs a permanent, fixed seat mount. One thing I got from riding the silvio is that the bike and seat need to be one unit and everything needs to be tight. Ok thats 2 things but the front triangle really needs to be solid.
I'll try the parking lot ride again before it gets taken apart and try to get some video.
