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

I REALLY want some Zipp Vuka Sprint bars on this bike. Probably the best looking handlebar I've seen and it has a shallower drop.



Btw - on a side note if you google Zipp Vuka Sprint and then click on images Soloist Assasin's avatar pic is on the first page for some reason, lol.

Btw - I was having a local bike shop check something on my bike on my way home the other day. A guy I didn't know came in to pick up his bike. He saw the S-Works in the stand and started staring. Then he goes 'hey, I know that bike!'

You know you might be posting too many pics of your bike online when....
