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

New Gios build!!

I finally finished my new bike!
weighing in at a respectable 17 pounds, rides like a dream compared to my '04 Giant OCR3!!
As I love to look at ppl's builds, I decided to post some pics of mine!

Enjoy, and tell me what you think!

Congrats (if you still have it --old thread)

I've always loved the plain jane paint scheme of Gios. However, for me it has always been the steel frames.
