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

Jamis Satellite. Upgraded w/ carbon seatpost, new stem, neuvation M28s w/Kenda Calientes, weyless handlebars (have to check on the recall). Stelle Italia saddle, stock wheels/saddle/bars/stem/post, look 247's, 45.5 shoes (I'm a 47 in socks), extra avocet oxygen saddle, carbon stem spacers, 6 or 8 regular inner tubes, a pair or two of fancy tan latex innertubes, new unused tires (nice ones, forget which), funky look-compatible strap style clip pedals, etc.

Single CL purchase this weekend. Drove to Jersey for it. I think the 62cm bike weighs about 19lbs. Guy at my LBS, where they carry the satellite, was real surprised when he picked it up.

Obscenely cheap.

Very nice. Are those the 101s, or the training wheelset?

I bit the bullet and bought a pair of Conti Grand Prix 4 Season tires (700x23). Just under $72 each with tax at REI.

A pair of Conti GP4000s to replace the Open Corsa's I was using. I love the ride of the Vittoria's, but they just don't last.

I got my first set of clipless pedals (Shimano PD-M520) and shoes (Shimano MO086). I know they are mountain biking shoes, and I put them on my roadbike, but I need the comfortability for walk during my commute. I love them so far.
