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

My new old bike

Heh,
Purple and yellow, yes! A Centurion is now mine. New brake levers, new chain and new brake pads. The person I bought it from put a lame Profile Design short, short stem on the thing. I spent a few minutes on the band saw chopping down an old Aluminum stem to get some reach. Now I just need some yellow Speediums and I will be set in bright color glory. Full 105 btw. The cost $80. I think I did well, no? My C'dale is starting to collect dust.

Sorry, not a great pic...
