What road bike do you have?

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

Nice bikes in here, folks. Hipster scum from SS/FG checking in. Just picked up this Ridley and took it out for the first ride today. Loving it so far.

Very nice bike. My wife has a Madone 5.2 in the women specific design (WSD) geometry. It is a great bike.

The Lemond is indeed fantastic. Very nice @jtbadge.

I'm in the process of building this up myself, it's about two weeks or so from being done:



EDIT: sry the image is so big.

bummer!!! a bunch of years ago, i bought my first (and last) brand new car, and before i even had license plates on it, someone rear-ended me on the freeway for $12K of damage. So, there's that.

Nice bike.

It's cool. Battle scars make you look at least 5% more legit.

Speedvagen charges an extra $10 for them to give their custom $5000 Urban Racer it's first scratch.
