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

*sigh* and all I want is a lowly RX Instinct with Chorus... very nice, sir - one of my favorites seen on BF.

Thank you! I did however in my quest and research in building up this bike score myself a couple of great deals due to the weak POUND and DOLLAR just a couple of months back and I would say that really helped a lot!

The LW Rear D was also procured at COST price since I knew the owner of my LBS and he decided to be really nice during Christmas/New Year period.

What is there website? I can't even find it since if you look up lightweight, carbon, parts, wheels, anything it just has a million other things.

One of my favorites as well. A top three.

I saw the new RX Instinct in this month's Colorado Cyclist. Pretty sweet and $2500 less.

Did you get the derailleur to finally work well with the 11 speed? I think I saw some post by you on WW talking about having difficulties getting it to work well.

I was going to add my 'finished' S-works, but after the Guru and the Time above it'd be like Pee Wee Herman boxing Mike Tyson...

@Kabex, Its Singapore. But we're near Malaysia though...

@DGASMD, I had my unit sent back to my dealer for a replacement and I'll be getting a new one next week. It works fine just not so when I'm on the 23rd and using my front 50T..

the time is nice but not the hottest. That photographer guy that has the red italian steel ride wins. I think his name has something with a 15 in it.

If you mean my Colnago Master XL then thanks. And I'd take it over any Time anytime.

Here's my latest acquisition. An '08 Orbea Orca.




A few more tweaks and she'll be just fine...

it's his uphill bike...then he lets gravity take over when going down. I just think no one has told him to HTFU yet and stay with a 39/53
