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

I love this bike. For a TT bike, this is as hot as it gets. I'd go black saddle and tape, but I understand the need for contrast.

Thank you. It now has a black Adamo road saddle on it. The bar tape will be replaced with black tape once the new Zipp bars and shifters arrive.

r1000 (an allusion to a motorbike, per chance?) Fantastic Kestrel! The blue on black really works. The handlebar wrap is very pretty.

Don't you work for the company now? Trim the steerer. They'll give you another fork.
