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

The best part about this is you being butt-hurt about another person criticizing your criticism and being utterly unaware of the blinding irony of it all. It's quite comical.

HOT, regardless of the crazy cockpit. As much as I love a moots built up with the full enve treatment, it's nice to see a unique build.


UGGGHH, that's bat **** crazy hot.



uhh, going to wait until summer to post the rest of it?

I either did something very, very right with my Moots or very, very wrong.

It's going in a Rapha display for a while, then when I get it back I'll build it up. Not summer. More early spring.

Now it has become the ultimate commuter. 1100 lumen light, rear blinking light, garmin 520, Quarq Riken Powermeter (measure my efficiency on my commute), Mavic Aksium wheels with 28c tires for better grip and rolling resistance and new arrange of stuff for improved visibility and cool factor. Total package weighs in at 20 pounds.



Monstrous. It's such a random assemblage, with parts all indifferent toward the others. Individually the parts are reasonable in their own ways, and OK, so the cages and bar tape have a sort of theme going, but they have nothing to do with the frame or anything else. That said, it's clearly working for you, so that's good....
