Silvio 2.0 Looking as good as new

[ratz]

After five years of pretty much idle and moving to the other side of the country, the Silvio 2.0 got some long overdue TLC: New Cont GP 5000 tubeless shoes for her rims, a freshly waxed chain, Electrical tape replaced with lizard skins, new brifter hoods to replace the ones that melted down to soft tar and refreshed lights from the parts bin. And yes, this is the same bike that's in the Silvio 2.1 build diary over on bentrider that started it all for me.

There is nothing like a “free” bike refresh from the ‘parts bin’. It looks great & the red brake hoods are the bomb!

Thanks. I do need to Rub some dirt on them to make the reds match.

Just squint. Lol

The Rock clearly nodding at the hidden hose clamp disabling the front shock I should probably remove that to make it fair for the DF rider in the house.

Beautiful bike!

Nice job Ratz!
My introduction to Cruzbikes was a new Silvio 2.0.
I had never been on a CB before and sheer determination got me over the learning curve.
A decent enough bike but I much prefer the Vendetta that replaced it in my stable.
