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

They are fast, they climb well, spin easily and tires can be R&R easily. I did have some issues with a 20+mph crosswind but that's tp be expected.

BTW... I had Easton EC90SL 38mm on my previous bike, so i'm used to semi-deep wheels.

Great thanks, yeah the way mine is set up right now if I have Zipp's on is it's 45mm rear and 32mm front.
I went with this primarily because of cross wind issues. Had some 50mm deep front/rear Bontragers and never felt entirely comfortable.... or safe once it got windy.

Here's what it looks like swapping out the 303 in front for a 202.

Oooh, a double-cutaway Les Paul with P-90s. Looks like that might have an oversized headstock from the 70s. But I might be mistaken. What kind of rig do you run that through? I bet that thing sings like a bird.

I'm with him ^^. I like the guitar better than the bike!

Put some color on those walls to make that thing stand out a little better! My guitar room is purple. Not because I love the color purple, but because it looks great behind my guitars!

I hope you carry the minimum even on group rides....you know....so your not "that guy".

I'm "that guy" that has a spare tube, patch kit, CO2 and multi-tool... and know how to use them. Was on a group ride last week and one gut got a flat. He had everything but didn't know how to do it. Since it was a small group we gave a lesson to those that never did it before.

The only one I can count on in a pinch is... ME.
