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

She's not dialed in yet, but shifts fairly well and stops.

I'm pretty excited that I did all of it my self. Granted it was just basically redoing the cables and mounting the new components. I did do the chain though. (park tool has a great web site)

I think I'll take her down to the LBS and have them tune it up.

Well here are some pics. Enjoy.

Yeah, the stem is a Ritchey WCS, nice and slender, sleek. 100mm, -6 or 84 degrees which ever way you want to look at it.

"Smooth like buttah" I like that, Thanks.
