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 bought a carbon colored (Black) bike that came stock with white bar wrap and white seat. I personally didn’t care for the white on black so I change the seat and wrap to red, but I got to admit that white on white looks sweet.

Good Job! Have fun and be safe.

The white bartape is standard on this color combo. We'll see how it holds up. That stuff is "grippy!"

nice bike, but there are sooooo many OCP violations with your pic that I don't even know where to start.

Now quit posting on here and get out and enjoy it!
