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

Looks good, I have a C-RS myself...and honestly, I can't seem to figure out what exactly the difference between the two is.

That bike is beautiful(love the blue/black paint), but I'd rather see it with a 7800 crankset.

Giant TCR 0 Disc sram ...the orange bike

good ride, love the etap.... I will never go back to anything else. Bike 4 stars
Wheel experience, 2 stars
in 18 months and about 11,000 miles I had to have the rear wheel trued 3 times. Went through 4 tires probably because the wheel was out of true.
Carbon wheels delaminated though and getting giant to replay to an e-mail has proven impossible Customer Service 0 stars

Full confidence in the bike store guys. They have done great for me for many years

Of all the bikes I've had this is the best of them all!

I buy and sell bike on CL and eBay over a decade, particularly in my size. I've owned; classic steel, titanium, carbon fiber and aluminum road bikes. The Moots Vamoots is the best of them all!

Many to look at, but one to ride!

1975/76 Colnago Super, bought 1986, retired 2016; reincarnated, summer 2019 (for another 30 years, maybe it will, but I probably won't).

2006 Fuji Roubaix SL ...back in action!

2006 Fuji Roubaix SL, An aluminum frame with Dura-Ace 7800 components and Ultegra WH-6600-G wheels. 17.6lbs.


I had not ridden this since 2014 but have cycled once or twice a week this summer. One thing that annoyed me was my 10speed 7800 shifters wouldn't always down-shift - the inner paddle wouldn't always engage. I was afraid the Fuji was a loss and I needed something new. So I had nothing to loose in trying to revive the shifters and so with a can of WD-40 and a can of Tri-Flow lubricant, I cleaned the shifters and now they're working well.

I hang them from the rafters! By the way, which USS Princeton? Tico class, Essex class, or (God Bless You!) earlier WWII carrier? Ex-Navy guy here; thanks for your service!
Just got this one back to running order last week! Will change post, saddle, and pedals (installed for test ride) with the "proper" parts: Campy post, Fizik saddle, Campy SGR pedals or newer LOOK's.

Ride fast, Be safe!

UPdate..........going on 6 weeks without my bike as Giant has not yet replaced the delaminated rim. They have however taken down 2 of my threads telling my story of poor customer service... SIX WEEKS IS HALF THE SUMMER....HALF. their first attempt was to send a rim that did not match the other rim. One had internal nipples and the other had external nipples. I am not sure about the graphics. The bike shop was told there were no rims to be had, then Giant sent me an email that said they had all the parts to build a wheel then they told the shop it would be taken care or "next week" (that was 10 days ago or more) now they are saying maybe they an get something to the shop by friday so I don't have to miss a 3rd fondo. Damn!

Well, the perfect storm happened (temporary industry discount, car totals road bike and I was compensated) and I bought a nicer road bike than I deserve lol.

BMC Teammachine SLR02 Disc Two

Got it properly fit recently and it is a blast. I only fully appreciate it when I'm killing myself up steep hills. The bike is fast and makes me want to go as fast
