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

Most Exotic Frameset?


I think the Time RXR is probably the most exotic looking framset, any others?

If by 'exotic looking' you mean 'fugly' or 'retina burning', then yes, you are correct.

Maybe you meant something other than "exotic"? Do you mean prohibitively expensive (and therefore 'rare'?) and attractive to (your/the) eye? Pretty much any Joe can get a Time if he's got the ca$h.

Probably a boutique store bike is more in line with "exotic". If I had the cash, I'd get a Naked bike.

Google "Calfee spider"

To wash: water hose, brush, air compressor I'm sure nobody rides it though.

This one is probably a bit conservative to the roadie crowd but it's about as exotic as I would go:

it's one of those things that when you look at it at first it doesn't seem that appealing, but the longer you look at it the more beautiful it becomes.

i am also from the midwest.
