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

WTF bike.



Hydraulic v brakes. Aerobars. MTB frame. I didn't know someone actually made such a big ring for XTR (a crank with special BCD no less).

If this was "bike porn" it would be the velo equivalent of dwarves and amputees.

It's the huge and heavy rear light that gets me.

Hey, if you can afford it, you can get almost any chain ring you want.
