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

Hot!
I was trying to keep up with a guy who was riding the same bike, as a was recovering from a hill climb, I saw a yellow bike coming out @ the bridge exit. I managed to catch him @ a light & admire his bike.

Thanks, I own that Caad10; but after tomorrow, it will be just a bare frameset as it looks for its new owner. I'd take that Bosberg over any C'dale anyday.

Even Ritte admits that their frames are open mold frames, but that paint job just takes my breath away.

The Ritte is the same frameset as a Pedal Force CG1.....but you buy it mainly for that HOT paintjob.
