After seeing the Silvetta, I've been wondering what it would be like to swap my Silvio and Vendetta front ends, for a suspension-ed Vendetta rather than just a lighter Silvio. I live in an area with pretty shoddy roads, and so having the combination of a full suspension Silvio and a suspension headrest has helped a ton over just a base Vendetta. However, it feels like the Silvio is... decidedly not as fast, which is slightly annoying. I've gotten used to an easy 30 MPH on the Vendetta, which just doesn't happen anymore on the Silvio (with full fenders, at least).
With all that said, has anyone ever tried swapping a Silvio front end onto a Vendetta? It would obviously be heavier and at least slightly less aerodynamic, but with the benefit of not having to worry so much about cracks in the road, I would think those could still balance out favorably. The added height of the suspension fork would also decrease the Vendetta's seat angle even more, which could be... interesting, at least! And it might give enough space on the front wheel to add a fender, which would be heaven in the rainy season. I think it'd be worth a try, at least, but I'd be curious if anyone else has done it before and what their thoughts on it are. My Vendetta and Silvio are both from the same generation (both from around 2015), so compatibility shouldn't be an issue if the Silvetta is any example.
