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

Pictures of my new bike

Hi all, I just wanted to show off my new bike here. It's my first CF bike, and I must say I am impressed. I got the frame for a mere €499 as it is a last year's model (a 2008 paint scheme is €700 extra...)

As usual the pictures do not do the bike justice.

Nice bike. Haven't seen any new Univegas in a while. That head tube looks familiar. Who makes the frame?

I've read somewhere that Topkey makes the CF frames for Univega.

Nice, I have the prior year WH-7801s and love them too. They just roll.
