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

If you have a high- shine finish. My frame is unpolished matte, which looks terrible with a scratch on it, but not quite as bad as a buffed area on an
otherwise unbuffed frame.

ZXiMan, so how did you go from buying a pedalforce frameset to setting up a company based to that frameset?

Wow, totally hot... not usually a big fan of logos, but the Felt color scheme and those deep wheels totally rock... What brake calipers? White REVL calipers?

That Ridley is crazy! I love the paint scheme, and the tubes look very aero. Nice.

Thanks... I'm loving it after three months now. After I went through the Retul fit procedure on the trainer, they showed me this frame... but in the Team Katusha sliver / blue paint scheme. Not for me. WHen he pulled out the catalog and showed me this option... I was done!!

LOL!! That was a sick ride this week. I hit 34 mph on 27 towards the top. There's a few of us big and/or tall riders on Carlos' ride on Saturday mornings. Let's touch base next weekend...
