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

Yeah, the way it's built with the fork and the seat stays is incredibly comfortable. In fact, it's more comfortable than my giant ocr-touring road bike.

The wheels are reynolds dv stratus clinchers.

I was thinking about upgrading my cosmos that came on it.

Can you give me some feedback on how the ride changed with those wheels?

nah. there's a bathtub next to the door to the bathroom--a door that the bathtub'll never fit thru. the tub was a gift from an eccentric client. one of these days i'll renovate. for now i just lean bikes up against it and keep posters, brushes and wheatpaste in it.
