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

just got a gary fisher ion super. first aluminum bike in 5 years or so. last one was a bmx bike. so stiff compared to my steel torelli. gets up and goes. there's some final adjustments to be made to my road bike stable, but once that happens i'll get a pic up.


only complaint so far is the TALL headtube. the stem is all the way down and in the negative position and it's still not as drastic as what i run my torelli at.

why does it matter what you ride? i don't think most of us post to seek validation from trek owners.

Damn... Those spacers just finish it off so nicely

Why not regular bar tape instead of this foam stuff?

no sweat smell, no unwrapping, grippier when wet, superb comfort, easy stain removal, tough crash protection for bars, still going strong after a coupla years.

a lot to like.

crst4, what sizes are they, anyway?
Transition is a 52, Schwinn is classified as Medium. I am 5' 8" and both bikes fit well. Arione is 12" nose to tail. I do find it comfortable and it gives quite a few options for body position.
