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 audacity! OH THE AUDACITY!

"OH HELLL NOOO" LOL.

To think, I could not get this man to buy a bicycle 3 years ago. Now he is a roadie in the truest form, routinely smokes me on rides, and then...copies my build/theme WHILE ONE UPPING ME ON ALLLL THE PARTS...

Like son like father? Now my bike is just whatever...thanks, Dad!



Just kiddin', pops. Your build is awesome.

I'd rather have you building bikes than buying golf clubs, cigars, and Tommy Bahama shirts!

Love you, Dad! Just givin' you sh*t! (I learned that from you!) Great attention to detail, sir! Best of you all, you built it!

Let's ride soon!

They're both hot, but I prefer "dad's" bike. Maybe because of the frame size, since there's no way I could ride the other one.

+1 to both bikes but I think they'd look better if you swapped wheels. The red in the 2011 frame would match with the Williams wheels and the white decals on the Boyd would look great with the black/white earlier model PF.
