Hello everybody.... and here is my bike.

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

Pristine white bar tape is nice on the showroom floor, but give me slightly dirtied white that shows the bike has been ridden as an overall better picture.

It's like a well-worn baseball glove. It's comfortable just looking at it.

Staging your bike properly with the drive side out is just good etiquette for taking photos of a bike. Always show the goods.... it's the rules.

"White bar tape works best when matched with a white saddle. Mismatching white bar tape with a black saddle is okay, but not as stylish as the white/white combination."
