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

No fixies here at all, then? Isn't that like a fap forum that limits itself to only blondes?
I'm 191cm, so about 6'3".

Lol. With how you make your statements, you'll fit into the fixed gear forum far better!

But geared or fixed, it's not hot.

People are probably saying that because your seatpost is slammed, which usually means the bike is too big.

Come on.. you know a 68cm (27 inch) frame is on your short list.

BTW.. Your Cannondale is hot.

CX Gravel Commuter:
The Ritchie is fire hot in the first pic, the commuter is strangly spicy, approaching hotness. People that don't like gum-wall Challenge rubber would also complain about FMB or Dugast walls.

I think the point is that on that bike posted, they say "gumwalls are coming back, bruh."
My take? The blue on the front is interesting, but is unbalanced, and far goofier in its rebellious way than the gumwalls.

If I got a new Cannondale I'd have to paint it. Those new CAAD stock paints are absolutely hideous.
