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

Originally I thought it was kind of a dumb idea, but it's ended up being one of the better bike porn threads I've seen.

Just got this on Sunday. I might be getting tires with red in them and I am looking at either white or red handlebar tape (suggestions?).

^ Silver or white tape

Man I really like the look of Cervelo. If I had some funny money to throw around I'd talk to my LBS to knocking the price down on one of their aluminum models they've had sitting around forever just to have a second bike.

I love my Orbea though!

White bar tape and kleep the black tires. I'd do black/carbon cages as well. I like the red on the frame only.

The White Orbea is HOT! I may be biased though.

Fresh from the shop. Probably not hot. But, reflectors and dork disc are now gone, reflective tape in strategic spots. Yellow
and black stickers gone as well. Steer tube cut down as well.
