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

Thank you!

I haven't been this excited about a bike since I was 12 years old and my parents got me my first 5 speed "racer". I rode that thing for miles and miles.

That was 30 years ago

Beautiful! Centaur will look great on that. The Fizik saddle is a nice touch.

Nice. You don't see too many of those traditional bend handlebars anymore.

Thanks...that was one of the main reasons I bought it. I liked the "traditional" look. It has been a great bike. My longest ride was a 400 km brevet last June. The bike was very comfortable. I am considering getting a Brooks Team Professional saddle. I have had one before, but I need a new one. I was a little numb after the long ride.

The last photo, before I strip her down put her on eBay. I love how it rides, too bad it's too small.

Sad as it's a beautiful bike. Hopefully the next will be equally special.

Seat tube is fine, but the top tube is too short for me. That is a 130mm stem and I am cramped, my back is hunched up. I have short legs and (relatively) long torso.

Got a new frame for myself, I got fed up getting covered in cack so got a winter frame and actually made sure it fitted, unlike my old one...

I intend to get a good bike when I sell my hi-fi speakers next year. Possibly Litespeed Siena/Ikon or Trek Madone or a Look/Chorus build. Got to try them out. Actually, got to sell my speakers...

Sorry to hear you have to get rid of it. It's a nice looking rig. The Cinelli's are nice though - almost settled on one myself.

My fleet, all but one at least

1. Here is my newest Mongoose Bosberg carbon with Sram Rival. Great great bike for the money.

2. Litespeed Solano with Dura Ace 10 speed. Traded in my VOrtex for this one and very happy I did.

3. Trek 5500 with Dura Ace 9 speed. Love this paint scheme, favorite of all the Tours won my LA. Don't care if I look like a groupie, I am a grown boy and can do what I want and not care what the pompous ***** roadies think.

4. My Scott Speedster flat bar for tooling around town. Ultegra 9. Nice bike.

5. Litespeed Classic, my oldest ride and most reliable and bullet proof. Dura Ace 9 speed. Kinda my beater bike now.
