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

I spent $2000 for mine this spring, so $1500 is a great price. I love the bike and I think the yellow and black rocks, but thats just me.

$1,500 is a great price. I picked mine up tonight for $1,550, full retail is about $2,200. I was interested in the Sarthe, but there wasn't one around to test. I tested the BA on Saturday and was hooked! By the time I got it home tonight there was only enough daylight left to get in about 4 miles - I can't wait to get back on the bike tomorrow!

The color scheme is OK, though not as nice as the orange. When I saw a Campy hat from an ex-gf it struck me - aren't yellow and black Campy's colors? Coincidence?
