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 change the handle bar because i already got a real road/track bike and sometime this handle is just more comfortable. That cannondale is very rare it was only a test model got it from a friend that use to work at cannondale. Its rides a lot like a silk Road cannondale but the design is just a lot more interesting and different to me. And those pedals are for my dad when he needs to borrow my bike. I got my own clip. (The seat is a rare Bernard Hinault Turbo Racing seat)
Here is my track ride:

I know, like, really, like, that it is totally your choice about the setup, like that you use on your bike and everything...I don't like, really, want to sound harsh or like God forbid, like blatent lol, but like, LOWER THE FREAKIN' STEM!

My 3 Bikes

Here are my 3 road bikes

The first is a custom steel that I got 10 days ago after a 4 month wait. Build by Carl Strong in Montana. I have about 200 miles on it and it's a fantastic fit and a great quality fit and finish. Can't say enough good things about Carl ... the process went great.

Second bike is my CF Roubaix ... and the 3rd (2 pictures) is my Brooks "leathered out" Sequioa

Sweet Stable! Those Fulcrums ride as awesome as they look, don't they - I have a set of 3's on my Roubaix and love 'em!

Just bought it for $350 delivered to my apt about a month ago.

came with what you see, speedplays included, with shoes/cleats, jersey, original clipped platforms, and a big ol' sprung seat.
