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

New Rig - Black Mountain Cycles

Finished building up my new Black Mountain Cycles rig on Saturday, only to be greeted by freezing temps and sleet.



The blue bar tape is going to be replaced with black tape, BTW (bars were removed from my previous bike).

Build specs here.

It's like the United Nations of bike builds.
- Campy levers
- Shimano cranks
- Campy and Sram derailleurs

What size tires are those?

Panaracer Pasela, 700x28. When I first mounted them, they measured exactly 28mm (@80psi on the A23 rims).

That looks like steel? With those tires, I bet it feels dreamy.

Im gonna try to mount larger tires on my older roadie. Ive got some old tires on it now that measure out to nearly 25mm width when inflated to 100psi (marked as 23mm) but Id really like to be on 28mm since this is my who-knows-what-the-road-holds bike.
