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

Yup, even though STIs have more bling, the bar ends shift amazingly smooth.

Yep, I've got the same set on my LeTour and they are great. They have the old school style, but up to date function..I've got mine set up with a 7 speed freewheel. Here it is. It does'nt have the pazzazz as most of the bikes here,but it is a great ride and I put alot of miles on this bike..

Yeah it is the new R3, and yes it does come with ISP in most countries, not in Australia. You can however special order any of the Addicts with or without ISP and Scott will make it to order. I could have ordered ISP for mine but it was going to take an extra 12 weeks to ship. I'm happy with non ISP, there was less pressure to get it dialed in perfectly first go.

Well the CR1 is a 56 and the Addict is a 54. The TT of the CR1 is 56 and the Addict TT is 55, ideally from my measurements I should be riding a 55.5 TT so I went with the Addict. The reason I went with a 56 in the CR1 is because the 54 CR1 has a 54 TT as apposed to the 55 in the Addict. Does that make sense??

But appart from that, I also have the CR1 setup so that I'm 20mm forward of KOPS whereas the Addict at the moment is setup right on KOPS, but likely to move slightly forward of KOPS in the near future.

I can't remember what lens I was using but I shoot Nikon so it deff. wasn't an L lens. As for the pic, it's pretty much straight out of the lens appart form slight crop and an unsharp mask to boost contrast.

My "new" (used) ride, a 2006 Specialized Roubaix Comp, purchased from a co-worker. It was in mint condition. Upgrades (by previous owner) are the Easton EC70 handlebar and Dura-Ace chain. Setup is 105 brifters, FD, Ultegra RD and cassette, Dura-Ace chain, FSA SL-K crankset and BB.

This is my 1983 Masi Nuova Strada hobby bike that's currently undergoing restoration. Still needs a lot of work but very pleased with it so far. I would like to maintain the original parts as much as possible but slightly improve in other areas. The wheelset is a current Shimano Ultegra clincher type. The original Fiamme Hard Silver tubulars are in storage for now. Let me know what you think.

Here is my latest ride build after my SLC build on page 379. I converted my single speed road build to a 1x6 for winter and climbing.

AKA - solution for a problem that did not exist. Just needed something to build and have fun with.
So with my stable declining, I really did not want to have a dedicated single speed build any longer. I was going to build up a 1x10 but started to think this was not a great idea since it would put a lot of stress on the chain being in the top 2 and bottom 2 cogs. So I decided to get rid of them all together and was left with 6 on the back. I will be running a 42t chain ring for riding in the winter and for a dedicated climbing bike will run a 32t chain ring. Gearing on the back right now is a 23,21,19,17,15,13 so a two tooth jump which so far has worked great. I also have a spare 12/27 so I can fool around with that on the back as well.
The 6 gears on the back leave me with 16mm of total spacing that needs to be filled so I have 2 X 8mm carbon spacers being made at this time.
The bike rides great so far on the first hour ride I took it on and shifting is not a problem at all. Total weight is 5.940 kg and for the metric impaired, that is 13.1 lbs.

Yes the wheels are AC Sprint 350's with Conti 4000S tires and Lunar Lite tubes. I have a lighter pair of tires that are about 160g each that I can put on there as well. I had a spare set of these wheels so they fit the build nicely.

Picture from when it was brand new and nothing on it.
Picture after with new upgrades and freshly installed Rubino Pro's in Celeste Green.
all I need are Celeste green cages and I'm thinking of a White Selle SMP Evo saddle.
