What road bike do you have?

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

Here's a picture of my 40+ year old Wards bike and my new Windsor Wellington 3.0


Wards ten speed.


My Wellington 3.0

I've been riding for two weeks. I started riding earlier in June but laid off for a couple of months until recently. I'm 63 years old and have a long ways to get into shape. I am riding 10 to 15 miles a day. I'm going to have to take it slowy, you can't undo 40 years of nothing over night. I also have a bad knee that I have to be careful about.
Oh yea, I live in Burney CA. It is beautiful riding country with plenty of hill climbing available.

Not 15 lbs, not 16, not even 17, but at about $1400 with the "new" stuff, I'll take it. The upgrade will drop it back into the mid-upper 17's.



Then again, I do have a 15 lb bike...The pedals, spare tubular, and Garmin push it closer to 16. New Blackburn cages have replaced those you see. 18g cages, not even sure if they'll hold a bottle....

Excellent builds Robbie!

Looking good per usual.

I've always wanted to try nimble wheels. Every time I see that bike, it makes me think of the era where they were legal in mass start. My parents tried spinergys and specialized wheels.

The Jamis Xenith I put together from parts and will be used when the weather turns. The Classic is my bike and was built in the early 80's. We rode 3 centuries together and is still a great ride. Looking forward to getting serious and training for the Seagull Century. Been too long and too many pounds since I did my last century. Currently riding on the trainer but looking forward to warmer months ahead.

Specialized Tarmac Expert SL4 (10r) w full Ultegra (electric), Dura Ace wheels, Zipp stem. This bike replaces a 3 year old Tarmac Expert SL (10r) w Fulcrum Racing One wheels. The new bike is way better in every way - lighter, stiffer, smoother, more stable at speed, more stable in a hard turn. jhglaw

My two current rides. 2013 Trek 1.2 I received as a present earlier this year, and my 1981 Trek 715.

Looking at these pictures makes me look forward to summer.
