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

Those Enve 1.45 tubulars are my retirement wheels. They've had a handful of rides and are mint. Best riding wheels I own, but I'm not ready to regularly run tubulars. Like the R3SL, it's hard as hell to find stiff, light, and comfortable. You usually only get two.

Sbxx,
When I clicked on this thread, your Cinelli was on page 1. It made me smile. Not as much as my Cinelli, of course, but still a smile.

I do miss the bike porn.

It is also interesting to see all the same threads on page 1 of the road forum. Long time listener, first time caller.

Quite a bit of my riding occurred on single speed this year.

I would imagine the cup to be uncomfortable

Sweet bike. It is both happy and aggressive looking.

Track geometry. Very fun to ride (sans cup).

Yes. It's a 2016 Specialized Langster Rio Edition.

It actually came with a custom bottle cage that held a hip flask. That's what sealed the deal for me.

I upgraded the brakes. The stock calipers were not great.

Campy Potenza calipers and TRP RRL SR levers.

I have the same levers on the Felt SS, non-perforated though. Uber comfy.

Your family is from or in Pheonix, right? I seem to remember a visit and ride reports.

Hello, Addiction! Long time no type.
My one BF friend. Good to hear from you.
