I saw a Cruzbike Silvio in the flesh today. And this is one of the few occasions where pictures haven't done the bike justice. I'll admit I thought it was really ugly before. I still don't think it's a stunning bike, but in the flesh it looks very well engineered, fast and "purposeful". It's also impressively light. The major problem for me would be leg length - on all Cruzbikes the bottom bracket ends up very low for long leg extensions. Ok for cruising (cruzing? Sorry!) I suppose, but bad for aerodynamics.
Anyway, the owner was very happy with it. I think he got it recently - he seemed to be slightly in awe of its speed potential still
