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

While I was out riding today. I saw a guy with an Addict with training wheels and I asked " Where did you get the
training wheels"? and he said "Off my Cervelo".

BMC's are worse.

On the other hand it is by far the best climbing bike I've ridden. I like climbing kid. Jury is out. In the end if I don't like it that much I'll buy a one year old frame on eBay for $1400 and sell this one for $1200. It's not that hard.

But I think this bike is growing on me. You are not.

You need to gain either 40 pounds in your butt or buy one of these: https://s1.hubimg.com/u/2407868_f520.jpg No wait, not that kind of seat but this one: https://media.bontrager.com/images/pr...07bo276068.jpg

Ok, tell me which seat you prefer.

Yes there was and she was quite lovely, in fact she's pictured in the post above displaying a sign you can't read from the back but it's pointed towards the bobby that reads simply "meow"; that's how the kgb would get the cia to give them information.

I can tolerate a little butt vibration for a 16 lb bike (with clinchers and cheap components even) that climbs, accelerates and handles like this one. The bike has some very strong points. If I wanted a Fredilicious bicycle I would have bought a Cervelo RS or a Scott CR-1 (which has been Fredded Down since the intro of the Addict line).

The Cervelo is a better all around bike, but it doesn't quite climb like this one.

English please? The moderators have said not to use text messaging shorthand. You could try using more literal term for bunghole like, ******* anus ass butthole butt ******** bung rectum **** chocolate starfish beavis anal sphincter cornholio balloon knot brown eye poop. Something along those lines.

Superb outing on the Addict today, fast Road Nazi ride. The bike really felt good on the rivet, felt even better climbing, position really felt perfect. I'm dialed in on that bike. It's a keeper. Very pleased with today's ride.

Where's that pinhead Fred slothy now?

Fify. "County" implies a small area that represents only a tiny part of the whole.

Those Dura-Ace wheels are pretty sweet btw.

They didn't make the best first impression but now that they are starting to break in, they offer such a sweet ride.

I'm allowed to be a grammar moron when writing in English. I'm Dutch.
Though my English is a lot better than some Americans on these boards.

Ditto my ride on my R3. Beautiful blue skies, 50 mi., 2500' ascent, 19 mph avg. Feels good to sit down with my feet up.
