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

They are about the only sub 1400 gram wheels I can use that don't need TLC and/or constant repairs. I had them on my Synapse and put about 2000 miles on them without any issues.


BTW, here is my favorite picture of my white bike. It's a picture of of it hanging from a scale

Right after building it out. Was waiting for the silver bottle cages, but think I like the red metal cages I have on it now. Need to get a new picture of that.

?? to your comment^^

I'm hoping to save up a few bucks and get new wheels. Been lusting over the November 58mm carbon clinchers for awhile. After buying three new bikes in the past 15 months and racing a season and half of CX though the fun fund is pretty tapped and the co-CFO isn't feeling like approving any new large purchases.

Just bought this a few days ago. 11' Roubaix Elite. The only thing thats stock on this bike is the frame. Stripped my 10' Tarmac and transferred the parts.

My new 2012 Colnago Ace Ultegra. Photo is taken with my cheap jersey camera, which leaves a lot to be desired but good for trip photos. I'm going to replace the white bar tape with red Zipp (washable) tape as soon as it comes in. Most of the lines and the brake faces are red and I think the red tape would look nicer on it than the white.
