Picked up my new Silvo from my LBS Saturday afternoon after they completed installing the components. They didn't have any cables long enough for rear brakes so riding without them for now. Also, waiting to wrap handlebars after getting stem, handlebars etc set.
Since I'm 6'3", I purchased and installed the 150mm Chainstay extension.
After reading Doug Burton's blog, I spent some time making adjustments to set X-Seam and knee clearance.
Was able to ride around the neighborhood a few miles Saturday evening and was able to get a 15 mile ride in Sunday.
However, I have an issue with the handlebars being closer to my body than I would like. But, don't see where I could make any further adjustments.
I have my X-seam to the pedals just about where I want. My knees just slightly touch the handlebars when pedaling.
But, as I mentioned, the handlebars are very close to me and so my arms/shoulders feel a bit cramped when placed on the handlebar ends.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Below is picture of my current setup.
