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

OK, I've been drooling over everyone's bikes so here's mine. I just got the Zipps. Sorry about the picture. It's just my iPhone so not the best quality.

I know- flip it. I will. And I'll remove some of the spacers and cut the steer tube.

Also I'll be getting a new saddlebag this weekend. This specialized one is sagging like an old man's skin.

Please be kind. It's my first Ti.

while not over done, the decals look quite amateur, but overall its very sharp.

with that said, the decals on my merlin are simply bold italic times new roman compressed a bit.
