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

Flame suit on: Check. The red accents and grayed-out Zipp decals make this one of my favorite purely cosmetic changes for 2010.

You are disappointed that they toned down their branding?

What bars are those on the Passoni?

Nice Giant.

Where'd they hide the battery? I see all the major manufacturers just tacking it on the downtube

I like the hyper-mechanical-looking Team Machine, even though it's not new for 2010:

But Moots is one of the most recognized, especially where Ti is concerned. BTW, DEAN builds Ti forks for both mountain and road bikes...
