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

Looks like the Fizik Microfiber tape. Too bad I replaced mine after a day to match my brown saddle

I think I hate small photos that are over compressed when I click them.
Your bike deserves better.

Amen. And that link to an external site one at a time. Next time just upload larger photos directly to the thread.
