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

But Campy are really the thing when all you want is a good hard "clank!" change. I am doing the lake of Neuchatel (110kms-68m) often but have a goal to do the round trip of the three large lakes in my area (Neuchatel, Bienne and Morat) which makes up a century (160kms-100m). This is my aim anyway this year. Next year will be the peaks in the alps (4000m climbs). But again I need to do some serious training for that!!! Switzerland is like that. Take care.

Good stuff, great goals man. My Uncle runs the Swiss Alps Marathon every year for the past 28 years. It's a whole different ballgame up there. Enjoy the ride, seems like your packing in the miles quickly (kilometers, whatever)

Hi there.

Here is a last picture of mine, taken during today's ride. A short stop to eat a bar




By the way, what color to choose for my new bar tape ? blue, black, white ? other ? the current one is dirty with many scratches i need to change it anyway.

I think white is awesome, but there is not really enough white on your bike to justify it ( seat, cages etc...) I would do black. or just clean what you have with simple green.

Weighs in at a little over 18 pounds with pedals/cages/computer. I wasn't expecting it to be this heavy, but I'm happy with it and it rides great. A few changes since last picture.

I think you should go with some white/blue Fi'zik Dual tape like mine, the blue color looks closer to your frame color than your current tape:

Nothing fancy here! Just my 18 pound, compact frame road bike. Handles my long distance rides like I was going around the corner.



Don't know how to get it to full size, but click on it and it will go full size.

Free bikes are never free. This one has cost me $30. Bar tape, tube, seatpost, and my old saddle.


Anyone know what year it is? I'm thinking 95.

'06 Fuji Roubaix SL with a mix of 5600, 6600, and 6700. I bought it as a frame and transferred most of the parts from my old Fuji, and built a new wheel set.

Mine has already been posted, but this photo was simply to good to pass up.
A Pinarello on a Ferrari? You don't see that every day.
