Silvio and brevets

[Michael McGuire]

Good morning. I am a randonneur, which, I think, is French for "long, pointless bike ride". I would like to hear from anyone who has ridden a Silvio or other Cruzbike in brevets (another French word) of 200K, 300K, 400K, 600K, or, most importantly 1200K. My goal for 2011 is to enter and complete Paris-Brest-Paris. Currently I ride a hand-made steel bicycle. Thanks. Mike, Santa Rosa, CA

Find out for yourself Mike. My shop space is in Petaluma, and I rent out the Silvio for $150/wk

There is a guy in Taiwan who is training on an Silvio for the PBP. I will notify him of this thread.

Nanda, Thank you for the quick response and offer. I will definitely take you up on the rental offer. I am doing a 400K on my road bike this weekend, but, hopefully, I can come down Thursday or Friday for a test "sit" and schedule a rental. Mike
