What road bike do you have?

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

I'm have two bikes now. I've sold the Cannondale, Veloce, Univega, and the bikes from Florida so don't think I'm some bike beast who consumes all in sight

The new rig.





After a few hundred miles, I'm extremely satisfied.

Slowly. I couldn't skid with those tires if I wanted too. They STICK.

A front brake is going on sooner or later. It's difficult to handle on those downhills with a 64" gearing.

Hi,

Updated my 2005 Look KG481SL a bit. Replace the Look Ergopost 2 Ti with a Thomson Elite since the seat clamp on the Ergopost kept slipping. Also changed the bars from Ritchey WCS Classic to 3T Rotondo Pro and chaged the stem to a Ritchey 4-Axis since the bar diameter is now 31.8 mm.

Here it is all clean and ready to ride tomorrow:
