"it's not the bike, its the rider"
i know this isn't up the usual alley of the C&V crowd, but the bike IS vintage and the riding is amazing.
an interesting reminder that a sweet bike of the newest technology is nice, but a skilled rider is almost limitless.

This video really stirred up the hornets' nest on CR. The guy who gleefully posted it is gonna find a busted CF fork in his bed...

The clip of saronni destroying the field in a massive sprint on his now flexy and obsolete colnago always reminds me that it isn't about the bike.
