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

Other than my dinged up, self customized, dirt cheap, pop bottle fendered commuter? I guess any race bike I can't quite justify purchasing.

Zinn Dolomite Ti

Where's all the big bikes??

Here's my Project Big Zinn Dolomite Ti - custom built with 210mm cranks and 36spoke wheels.

Perfect for me at 2m tall and 125kg.

If you ask me - there's no finer looking or performing (for someone of my size) bike around...

The original Lynskey Helix prototype! Coil spring ultra light, air cooled saddle! Even the seatpost and stem have the famous Helix twist to it! I dont think he needs the padlock tho, looking at the bike is deterrent enough!

Somebody posted an S-Works bike (I think) that was flat black (stealth) with minimal white lettering. I should have saved it. Beautiful.
