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

I'm thinking Patriot needs to somehow make a graphic for the waterbottle to have it matched when sitting in the cage. I'm not sure what that would be yet but I know it should be silver and black in colour.

Last but not least, a double chain ring would make the bike look much faster ...
