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

Like the touches of red. Makes it unique. +1 on the dearth of decals.

I love it. Just got it today. So happy . And I haven't gotten around to taking the reflectors off. They are coming off tomorrow before I go on a 10 or 20 mile bike ride.

Plans for this bike down the road are 2 new cages, 1 more water bottle(I'll use the bike shops water bottles only because it's a great shop and I don't mind advertising for them), clipless pedals and a cyclocomputer.

Edit - Helmet isn't pictured. It's a Bell Furio in black.

Not a whole lot of carbon here, but it gets me around.

the photo is crappy...

It's a 2003 Klein frame with Dura-Ace drivetrain and pedals. Thomson post and Fizik Aliante saddle. I have a bunch of wheels but pictured are HED Alps with tufo tubulars.

My Trek 420 that i bought used this summer. was going to convert it into a fixed gear city bike but i liked it too much the way it is. not too sure on the year of the bike. I added a bit on there to make it my own.... mostly anything white on the bike ha. i bought a white track wheelset and couldn't use the pair so i just stuck with the front white wheel. I'd like it more if i had the pair of white wheels but this will do for now

Not a good pic...straight from the Cell lol. I lost the charger to my D40 otherwise I'd have some nice pics. Anyways, just picked up my new rid about an hour ago. I picked up a Giant TCR2 from my LBS. It's been sitting forever, never even been ridden. 105 shifters and rear derailer (10sp) ultegra front derailer, brand spanking new 105 compact crank just arrived in the mail yesterday because I had him replace the Truvativ 50-36 on there. I wanted something a little more mountain oriented and rather than going with the triple, I went with the compact. Carbon stem and fork, easton stem and bars, Xero Lite wheels, etc etc etc. Here's my pic....
