Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

She's not as sexy as most of your rides, but I just ordered this bike last night:

https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ntnoir_xii.htm

It's quite a step up from the GMC Denali I rode into the ground last year and should be in my hands Friday afternoon. If I'm not too busy riding the bejesus out of it next weekend, I'll get a pic up.

Need to get a better pic but here's what I've got for now... excuse the spacers above the stem, still haven't cut the steerer yet (wanted to wait a few months to make sure I'm happy with the fit):

Practicality and utilitarian are the name of the game here.

Except I sure as hell wouldn't want to use chopsticks that have been spinning close to the dirt for several thousand miles.
