Put this 2016 Gallium together to replace a well-loved 11-year-old Merckx CHM, whose seat tube had disintegrated right at the top. I'm liking it and riding nearly every day, as much as my body allows...

Merckx CHM with Red

Just finished putting this dream together - it's every bit as nice as I hoped, and 15.4 lbs complete.

She loves how it benefits me, but doesn't love how much of a day it can consume; the getting ready, the riding, the stretching and showering. Tolerates the expenses.

I've given this a fair bit of thought. I believe you should maximize the quantity of useful top-of-handlebar/hood territory by making it continuous and relatively level. The tops should blend...

Looking for Frame Repair in Fort Collins Area

I'm starting to restore my '82 Rossin SL, which has a cracked rear dropout (ground-down Campy.)

Next I'll want to find original decals and then paint it myself. Re-chrome or paint the forks.

First, I've found that each bike I've owned and used needs somewhat different cornering techniques, but in general here's what works for me:

In Bernard Hinault's book "Road Racing", he describes...

I just turned 55 and I'm not about to give up the aggressive riding position I've long enjoyed. If anything, I'm working to get even lower and more stretched-out. Got to keep the gut from getting in...

I've worn a hardshell helmet since I started riding "seriously" in 1982, except for one misguided year, Before Giro, when I decided helmets weren't light enough, cool enough, or comfortable enough. I...

I've had an F55 for about 3 weeks now, and I've got no regrets. It's a marvelously cost-effective machine, and the corners Felt cut to bring it in around $1800 make sense to me. The upgraded Tektro...
