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

Thanks. Those bars are the stiffest I've ever used too. I haven't weighed it yet, but it should be back down to 13.20lbs or so, according to my calculations. I've got some other little things I am doing to it, to possibly get it even lighter. I'm not going to weigh it until I tie up the little things first. I think all of the Sram cassette are missing teeth on certain rings. It is supposed to help shifting I think.

My bike. Nothing fancy. Just simple and fun.




(yes, I know there's a lot of steerer tube left, I'm still waiting to get a proper fitting)

Been flipping through pages through this thread again and realized I really need to take a new picture of my bike.

Here's the most recent one:

Changes since this pic was taken: KMC 10sl gold chain, SRAM Force 11-28 cassette, and made some changes to fit. Oh, and that saddle bag is no longer in use.

Hot or Not sounds like a TMZ segment...why don't you guys get Ryan Seacrest and the cast of The View while you guys are at it.

Just received my S-Works SL3 Project Yellow, 56cm. Includes SRAM 'Limited Tour Edition' RED group, TPR magnesium brakes, ZIPP 101 clinchers, and a lot of Specialized S-Works stuff. I do feel safer on the road now!

+1 I love that color. Don't worry, the bar tape will turn black after a few rides. I'd also use black paint on the red seat part. Sweet looking bike.

The bike is awesome.. The saddle needs to be matched to really complete it. I love the all yellow. Enjoy the hell out of that thing... And get some real pedals.

It actually used to be a rating website (probably still is) But before myspace came out. hotornot was definitely one of the most visited sites on the internet.

Alright I finally have the attachment of pictures figured out now.

Here is my new Cannondale CAAD 10 4 Rival


Excuse the pedals, those were assembly pedals from the LBS. SPD SL and bottle cages as well as a computer are now attached.
