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 could tell you that I hate bikes with too much decals/logos etc but this one is TASTEFULLY placed. Just brilliant.

something that Pinarellos can't do, and it's unfortunate they charge an arm and a leg for their bikes.

Thanks. I took several shots in that area. That was one of the best. If you click on the picture you can read about the whole ride on my blog (lots of pics).

Lol. I think people weigh bikes without pedals, because that is the one thing that will definitely change with every rider most likely. Plus bikes are sold without pedals. The big companies do it, why shouldn't we? lol

Then why they do not weight without seat - this is the other thing most riders will change.

Lorini L75 CT (full carbon), Campagnolo Veloce, Campagnolo Bora One 60mm carbon wheels

The whole bike weighs exactly 7.0 kg C:

I don't see why Lorini is so unknown in building bikes, they have awesome lightweight carbon frames! They look really good, too c:
