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 have a 2002 Masi Nuova Strada with Tiagra components. I bought it before I really knew much about road bikes (and still don't know much more now, although I'm riding more this season than I ever have) and I'd be interested to know what everyone's opinion is of the "new" Masi bikes.

I did manage to hit 42.3 mph in Southern Illinois a couple of days ago on it. That was pretty fun.

I have had it about a year and a half, but this is my first pic. It may not be exotic, but it gets the job done.

Put some new tires on tonight (Panaracer Stradius Pros), thought might as well take a pic finally--

My 2003 Trek 2300, 60cm, just a couple weeks ago changed the stem from the stock 120mm 7* Bonty to a 110mm 8* Forte to shorten the reach just a touch, and I think I'm liking it.

Voila - my 2004 Trek 1500. Swapped stem and handlebars for 31.8 Race Lite OS components, changed to an Ultegra FD, changed cassette to a 12-23 assembly and added Speedplay X5 pedals. Love the bike!
