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 Lemond build is getting closer to complete. All I have to do is run brake cables and start dialing it in on the trainer. Here is a little preview.

So were you trying to pop wheelies from the drops with a fat chick on the bars?

It looks like mustache bars to me, but I think thats how they make them.

LOL That is an ON One Midge bar. It is a flaired drop bar. I figured as long as I am experimenting, I would give it a shot. Besides, I am not a racer and I like to be comfortable.

Cool, bar end shifters. A good weight/money saving technique!
