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 think your chain might be too short. The paint job isn't the best but overall it's way better than most bikes I see on the road!

Yeah, but the derailer looks pretty stretched out as is - I don't think he'd get more than 1 or 2 more downshifts

That's really cool bike UCIMBZ. You should be very good at flipping burgers since you are able to afford that bike By the way I think educational system already corrupted, many people with MBA even doesn't know how to talk to people...
