I am around the DVP and Eglington area. I have been reading about all the rides in the area and cant wait to get out to some. I used to live up in Newmarket and could ride all the time, I feel like I am in prision here. That is why I am switching over to road biking - its way more flexible in the city environment.

Yep....post pix please. Use the "Manage attachments" tab to upload bmps, jpegs, gifs etc etc
It sounds fully sick. Like a Vini Caldirola team issue from a couple of years back. De Rosa blue, I hope?

You'll want to use a "scale image" function to make it smaller in size (600x400 or so gets pretty close to 100k for many jpeg images). Then, if it is a jpeg, when you save it, it will probably give you the option to reduce the quality (by compressing it more) to make it even smaller.

Just purchased, Trek Madone 5.9 Lance Armstrong/TdF Limited Edition (only 500 produced with numbered frames, maybe 1/2 of which were sold in the USA so it's a rare bike for sure) comes with Dura Ace-10 speed. The paint needs to be seen upclose to be appreciated, it is a project one effort that is 100% flawless and has glitter flake in the yellow under the clearcoat. This bike is smooth, stiff, fast and just a joy to ride.
UPGRADES: Stella Azzurra Tirreno bars, Bontrager XXX lite (4 bolt) carbon stem, Bontrager XXX lite carbon seat post, Mavic Kysrium SSC SL TdF (limited edition) wheels with dark blue Michelin pro race tires, record carbon water bottle cages, Dura Ace pedels.
Keeping the stock stuff (Bontrager X-lite wheels, stem, and bars) to beable to return the bike to factory "limited edition" setup or just use on one of my trainers.
https://www.lancearmstrong.com/lance/...sf/html/LABike
I also have 2 very nice, and very fast Triathlon/Time Trial Bikes both with Dura Ace-10 speed
2004 Trek-TT The Lance TT bike is silk smooth and the fastest bike I have ever ridden. (set-up for Ironman triathlon distance, with HED carbon bar, Zipp 404's, Dura Ace pedels, Selle San Marco Aspede triathlon gel seat).
2004 Cannondale Ironman-5000 This bike is very stiff, responsive and fast. (set-up for Olympic and 1/2 Ironman triathlon distance, Slice Aero frame, Profile Carbon Stryke bars, Zipp 404's, Dura Ace pedels, Cannondale Hollowgram SI cranks, Reynolds Ouzo Pro Aero fork, Selle San Marco Aspede triathlon gel seat)
** All 3 bikes below are set-up with Polar speed and cadance sensors to work with my Polar 720i
+ 2-older crap road bikes for bad weather or just training miles
Winter Indoor Trainer: Lifefitness 9500 commerical lifecycle
Dream bike (and next bike): Serotta Ottrott ST

The thiinnest easily bent rims I've ever seen, shoddy welding, and mouse trap compnents. Most of these were red with yellow lettering. I do remember some yellow and blue as well with flourescent cables. Now there maybe some other bike out there with the Firenze name and as a matter of fact I think I saw a MTB in this month's Bicycling (or at least one of the mags I got this month) with that name the other day and was repulsed lol.
What was the groupo on the bike you had? If it was anything halfway decent it's not one of the bikes I'm thinking of. Was it indexed? Even now I shudder at the thought of seeing one of those again. To work on one was a shear pain. HAHAHA

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that after reading this thread, I looked closer to a sticker on the bike and it reads:
FIRENZE BICYCLES
Made in Taiwan for
DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
MADISON WISCONSIN
Made in Taiwan for

MADISON WISCONSIN
Now I know the history of the bike. From Taiwan to Wisconsin to Long Island to Florida. Nice job DarkArrow. Good memory.
