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 like the paint. I don't like discs or di2 aesthetically.

I really like the color scheme of the bike overall. As a clyde I appreciate the disk brakes and love how they cleanly tuck the caliper in the rear.

it should have internal routing in the fork and the battery should be incorporated into something also.

The discs are awesome. THe color is great, I am not a huge fan of Lugged Carbon even if it's just for looks. I'd much rather have a Volagi at a portion of the price I'm sure.

Hi,

If you're talking about my SuperSix, it's actually the latest Specialized S-Works CLP Multi Stem with an older (not old) 3T Rotundo Pro bar. The Specialized stem is very sturdy and a bit heavy, but I think the stem stiffness improves how the bike steers.

Can a commuter bike be hot?

disclaimer: this was my first bike build...I had a fun day installing and building this one up. I swaped out the 2012 Tiagra (now 10 speed ) triple to a SRAM Apex group. I've opted to go with the infamous compact crank + 11-32t cassette... you never know...(dirt, touring, travel, cyclocross.. ect..ect..).









tire clearances look to be huge.... its got the stock 28c installed right now... maybe in winter i can get some 35c tires or larger in there.



I really want to cut the steerer, but this bike will also be the one my brother or friends borrows when they visit and we go for a ride - so I'm most likely keeping some steerer length in there to keep options open.
