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

No, it's probably just the angle of the picture plus the loose screws in my head, but the fork looked really straight and the rear triangle looked really stretched out to me. Like the center of gravity on the bike was going to be well forward.

Like I said, I'm sure it's just me. An allez is an allez after all. Enjoy the bike. I've always been a black and yellow(gold) fan.

That De Rosa is just flat beautiful, and I'll bet riding is is just a total blast! The S-Works too (even if it is a Specialized )!
