Silvio Bentrider Review

[John Tolhurst]

I got a brief email from Bryan Ball on Friday saying he will post the Silvio review soon, after just a couple more tweaks to it. He said he really liked it more than he expected and that the review will be worth the wait. So consequently I've been nervously hitting the bentrider site.

So that explains the slowdown ;-)

That's going to sell some frames. I get the impression there are a number of people just waiting for a thumbs up review to pull the trigger. Better advise Jenny to batton down the hatches!!

+1.... Although some people recognize it right away. I've had a number of people say that this is the first recumbent design they've seen that makes sense. Haven't seen any of them rush out to buy a Silvio, but I know one guy that (I think) is thinking about it.

I don't think the review will be posted up this week. Bryan's a little busy at Interbike and being a stage ham... :lol:

Bryan did come with a review of another recumbent today he also writes he is out of shape. So the Silvio report is coming closer.

Quote from Bryan “I'm a bit out of shape (okay REALLY out of shape) after another injury-plagued summer but I still jumped on the Sea Dragon and headed for the steep stuff as soon as I got it out of the box.”
