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

Or a Pinarello. Either one will instantly increase your bike handling skills up to this level

I just don't want the broken neck that apparently comes with such skills.

Colnago's are great but in my book a road bike with disc brakes is a huge no.

I also wouldn't really do that kind of stuff on 50mm carbon rims.

If a cycling video has 6 million hits, it's fair to assume that everyone here has already seen it.
