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

Fuji SL all built up

Here she is in all her lightweight goodness. 14.6lbs as it sits in that picture and that is with my Power Tap hub included. Can't believe how light it came out to be. And it just plain rips! So much fun to ride.

I do believe that's the classiest looking Fuji I have ever seen. Campagnolo so dope. Kudos!

Funny how much it looks like a Cervelo R3/5 and a Workswell 066. Very nice.

They are KCNC CB10's. So far they are pretty nice. Work well and are really light too.

Thank you. I'm a Campag fanboy for sure. It's been on all my bikes so far.

I thought something like that. Those aren't hurting the weight of the bike any.

Good question. I suspect not. I'm on the IPhone now. I will check my computer tomorrow to see if I have a photo.

Beautiful bike, but what's under the car cover? Looks to be Ford Galaxie-esque.

Front wheel not built correctly, or am I seeing things?

Not sure what you're seeing but I assure you it's built just right.

I think you are right. I am not a wheel builder, but have laced a few sets up and this looks off.

That's a gorgeous one man. I've been eyeballing the '17 SL frame as well. Contemplating it and switching all my gear over from my current ride.

It's fine, radial laced 20 spokes. The perspective is throwing you off.

I wonder what the ride difference would be considering the SL replaced your altamira.

A picture is worth a thousand words ... and Mr. Penmanparker has certainly written a few pictures' worth about his 066.

To a grateful audience, I might add.
