I ride an old stiff as nails cannondale 3.0 that I love. It's really responsive and just looks great with the huge downtube. My other ride is a centurion with 105 stuff that is smooth and quiet. It's the indian not the arrow. On my ride to work I saw a guy ride by as I was coming to an intersection. I had to cross the street and then make a left. By the time I got rolling in the the direction of the guy he was about 200 yrds in front of me. Took me a 2 miles before I caught and passed him. The best was him saying, "I wish you had a new bike so I wouldn't feel so bad."
