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

Just posted a thread on it, but I guess this is the official "blue bike" thread, so here it is...

Thanks. The pics are a few months old. It's in pretty good shape considering its age. It does have one unfortunate ding on the top tube though. It will get some classy fenders and new tires one of these days.

Just flip it already. And get that saddle pointing down so you can get a more aero position.


Seriously though, what a great thread. I wish I had a beautiful bike to contribute like all the others.
