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

Bridgestone doesn't really advertise here at all. It might be a Japan only product that is imported at high markups for us US guys.

That`s a pity as they produce many nice frames and at reasonable prices here.

17lbs using the weigh myself, then weigh myself holding my bike method. The bag weighs about a pound but I ride with it so it gets included. Might be able to shave 200-300 grams by replacing the fork with an Easton EC90 SL (which I am currently pondering as they are on sale for 200 dollars), but really there is not anything else worth replacing.

Wow, that was a good deal. Just the wheels, fork and seat were worth the price of admission.

I'd have to agree (minus tires). The Bottle cages really work with that paint scheme

latest itineration... new saddle (selle an atomica) I was always curious about leather saddles so I decided to try this one out, new stem and handlebars (Ritchey Classic line which are all silver polished but in modern dimensions).

Making progress... (Disregard the chain and 105 crank)

Swapped my Sora/Tiagra for Sram Rival. I need to pick up a new Front Derailleur and swap the 105 crank for a Sram or FSA SLK.

Before:


After: (Almost done, sorry for the grain)

that bike is so close to perfection - but the saddle kinda goofs it up.

Just put on a shorter FSA stem, bars with a shallower drop and some Fizik bar tape. But the biggest up grade is the new garage door!!

How much weight did you save? I'm thinking of upgrading to Sram Rival from Tiagra on my CAAD.
