What road bike do you have?

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

1980's Miyata 100, ~57-58cm, triple butted Cro-Moly
new Shimano 6-speed rear cassette
new longer seatpost
new Ultegra pedals
new bar cork
original Miyata tires, double chainring w/ huge guard, stem + bars, Araya rims
unknown Shimano front der, Shimano SIS rear der., Shimano brakes and levers

Unfortunately this bike can't achieve very high top speeds, but a new wheelset and front chainrings may be changing that soon. The cool thing is, I've never seen the same bike in person or online and probably never will.

Here's my newly rebuilt and repainted Olmo. Only the frame and seatpost bolt are original (at 20 years old!). That's progress for you!

It's a Ritchey WCS (of the single bar clamp style) 110mm, with a 26mm bar clamp size. I'm using a shim to fit the stem to a 1" steerer.

Hello,

I have recently moved from mountain biking to road biking. I have to say I am having alot of fun. I ride about 25 miles a day, 5-6 days a week. I live in Miami...

My bike, a carbon Orbea Onix...with full Ultegra shifters, crank and derailers. My brakes are 105's....I have Bontrager Aero rims, Bontrager handle bars, stems, and seat post. My saddle is a Selle...

Anyway I ride with a heart rate monitor and miles/speed computer.

Later...

My new bike arrived today.

I was only able to get a quick 10 mile ride in
so I can't give it a proper review yet...
but it felt fairly good.
