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

Any chance you could tell me what saddle that is? I feel like I've seen it before but can't put a name to it! Beautiful bike, I just love the stealth look of the matte black.

I have Raleigh Grand Sport bike, This bicycle is a great value for beginners or casual cyclists, According to me performance is solid, and testers are particularly impressed with the bike's shifting performance.

Figure I'd just show em' all.

1. Matrix F22 - Tank Cycles. 2009. Great riding machine. Love the frame, wheels - ok, SRAM Red...well I hope the new Yokozunas fix some of the problems. Comfy & agile at the same time.
2. Douglas Vector - Colorado Cyclist. 2003. Has seen a few updates over the years, very agressive riding bike. Used mostly for crits now.
3. Scott Speedster S1. 2010 Newest addition, though the frame is a 2005, but new. Wanted a new commuter/tourer to replace one I didn't really like. Love it. Pizza pan gearing, rode it 95 miles right off the stand nice & comfy. Building new wheels soon as these are stolen from my wifes bike.
4. Sette Flite - Price Point. 2008. Not road, but I love it & this picture from the "White Rim."
5. Tomassini comp. Year? Not the original owner on this one, got it from a good friend. Keep telling myself it will be more than decoration one day, but....so many projects, so it waits.

i thought the same thing... then i saw the garmin transitions team edition bike @ an LBS around here and i must say, the argyle is quite classy. the matte finish is very nice to the eye and to the touch.

Finished a year's worth of updates to my Seven yesterday, which had some trickle down effect on my new CAAD 9. First, the Seven's latest build: Fizik Arione CX saddle on Thomson post, FSA K Wing compact bars with red Hudz and white tape, red GP4000s on yesterdays acquisition Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL wheels, Bontrager Race X Lite Carbon bottle cages, new cassette and chain for the Dura Ace 7800 Gruppo.





New wheels for the Seven freed up the Ksyrium SSC SLs for the 2010 CAAD 9-5, great step up from the RS10s. Other improvements to the CAAD - Arione CX saddle, Thomson post, GP4000s, Ultegra 6600 brakes, Deda blue bar tape. And contrary to the mantra of the CAAD cult, I got this blue one on purpose, not because they were out of black.

Just built up this 2010 CAAD9. Replaced my 09 Fuji Roubaix.

I'll eventually cut the steer tube, but I'll wait until I'm sure I have the fit right.

Very nice.....I'm nearly your height (judging by your username). What size frame is that? I didn't know they made them so big. I might have to ditch my 61cm for that which should fit me better.

I'm 6'8", and this frame is a 63cm. The Fuji that it replaced was only a 61cm, and I thought it was fine until I rode this. This frame fits me perfectly. I couldn't possibly be happier after riding it for the past 2 days.

Nice looking Trek. Excuse the question if it is a stupid one, I'm rather new to this sport. What is the red thing clamped onto your seat mast?

+1 on that. By just giving it one solid color of bar tape it would already look a lot less noisy. Though even the colors are a 'bit' loud, I somehow like it... Not sure what it is.
