"it's not the bike, its the rider"
 
i know this isn't up the usual alley of the C&V crowd, but the bike IS vintage and the riding is amazing.

an interesting reminder that a sweet bike of the newest technology is nice, but a skilled rider is almost limitless.

I love the bucket of bolts noise every time he lands the bike.

This video really stirred up the hornets' nest on CR. The guy who gleefully posted it is gonna find a busted CF fork in his bed...

The clip of saronni destroying the field in a massive sprint on his now flexy and obsolete colnago always reminds me that it isn't about the bike.

Do that with a small puppy in hand, now that'll impress them. It's alway's about the chicks it seems. ;)
