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

Just a little bike love.

I think I've finally gotten this thing how I like it. Changed the bars, saddle, and peddles. Gotten used to the way it handles, got my saddle in place, my bars and reach feel good. Just wanting to show my bike a little love. I dont expect anyone to love it but me, but for what I've spent on it and the time sweat and frustration of fiddling with this and that to get it feeling good, I couldn't be happier. No shoulder, low back or knee pain on rides. Now if I could just get my legs to keep up..... LOL!

I'll love it for you. I had an alu bike with carbon stays a few years ago and it was a smooth riding bike.

Looks very clean, and still very practical. Not may bikes look as good kitted out as they do naked.
