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

Yeah I can get that. The blue bottles matched my kit so it worked fine with me ok the bike. I guess I should have used the black and white bottles this day lol

I like it! There's something about it that's messing with my mind, the geometry maybe? I can't put my finger on it.

Torn on whether to replace the cages with Arundel Mandibles or not.

That is hawt. And the quality photography is half the battle. Great looking bike.

+1 replace the cages with Mandibles, and if you're feeling cheeky, match white Mandibles to saddle, tape, and branding.

Agreed about the photography and white cages, but you may do just as well or better with a more angular design than the Mandibles.
What bothers me about this bike is how the seat post and big ring look so delicate, and the stem and bars look sort of chunky.
It definitely has a nice character.

White cages, black tires. Then it is hot. Warm right now.

This is beautiful. Only thing I don't like is the hammer holding it up. That bike needs a proper stand for photographing.
