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

What road bike do you have?

I was just getting ready to take a bf approved picture of my bicycle when my loft fell over. The cockpit is the most right thing about that bike, you can't see it but the pedals are different colors. The whole shebang is getting rattle canned once i dial in the fit.

"cookie cutter" carbon looks better than cookie cutter steel. Specially when it's disproportionately large.

rocky mountain solo 50st and the cinelli spirit are the same exact bikes. just different logos.
cookie cutter carbon wishes it was vintage handmade steel. you cant argue with it.

Not sure of the vintage, but the 105 components suggest late 80s/early 90s. Its Columbus Aelle tubed with a steel fork. It's not super light, but it is a great riding bike.

Changed the tires, and bar tape to add a little color. Was very monochromatic stock.

Thanks go to Mark and his crew at Westwood Bikes in Westwood, NJ for setting this up for me.


This is a great ride, try white brake hoods, will look awesome !

Thanks. It is definitely a paint job from the another time period. I have grown to like it cleaning up the years of road grime off of it.

It's a uni-crown fork

That's the first 566 I've seen that I like the look of. I think it may be down to the size, the larger frames look very wrong. Nice.

Thanks, it's a 53cm. It's my 2nd bike and I've had the bike and wheels for about 4 months now (about 1000mi). I'm really loving this compared to my first bike (Fuji Newest 1.0). Though I admit there was nothing wrong w/it. I got a killer deal on the Look!
