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

THanks!

I saw one on another forum once and then saw the frame on ebay and had to have it.
It's an old frame, 1999 I think but very similar to the Allez Comp they have now. I mainly
liked it because the colour looked like an American muscle car from the 70s or something...

Cheers!

I was reading some of the older posts and I just couldn't resist this one. I was surprised that no one commented on the irony of the statement.

My fiance got her first road bike this year.

It's black with pink flames, the flames have metallic in them,
Cannondale does a sweet job with paint.

Here's mine just bought it yesterday. Weighs in at about 18lbs. 105 components. Serfas rx saddle. AlX300 rims. Aluminum frame, carbon fork. SuperGo computer. It's a 2002 with less than 200 miles on it. I bought it for $530 USD on ebay, but the seller was local so I did the deal face to face.

Frame: the Custom Starship Elite from Cyfac (www.veloeuropa.com and www.cyfac.fr).
Fork: Columbus Muscle Carbon
Rear Triangle: Columbus Muscle Carbon
Group: Campagnolo Record.
Wheelset: Rolf Aero Elans (or FSA RD-400s for training and flat race courses)
Saddle: Performance Forte Carbon SLR
Seatpost: Easton CT2
Handlebars: FSA K-Wing carbon 44cm
Crank: FSA Carbon Pro Team Issue
Stem: FSA OS-115
Bottom Bracket: FSA Titanium
Pedals: Speedplay X-1
Tires: Kenda Kaliente

The whole damn thing builds to 15.8 lbs! And it's the stiffest, most comfortable ride I've ever had. Custom built, custom paint. I don't deserve such a nice bike...

Checked the web site and may visit the shop it will be 150 miles from me (along way for an Englishman), I have asked for a catalogue, and may indeed become a proud owner (some discussion there, which hasn't started yet), but would like one.

If you're negotiating with the spouse, just throw around some numbers for custom frames from the likes of Sachs, Rivendell, Bohemian and Waterford. Then start talking about Mercians at about half the cost. Worked for me!

Nice pictures. Should have had the bike shop attach some pedals before you took them. Must be awfully hard to ride with no pedals.

Got ya. Booyah!

it's my bike shop. i had it upstairs because i went to hatteras, so i took my pedals off. the hangers are next to a brick wall and my pedals rub.

anyways, i didn't post my bike be questioned. i posted it because everyone else is. plus there are plently of bikes one here that is just as good or even better than mine. why not hate on them?
