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

The tape with the orange looks really good with that color frame. And some really nice backdrops you got there, I’m jealous.

Here's my 54. This color is insane and I had to have it. Enve 3.4s and an Aerofly are the only additions. I'll upgrade out of 105 when this season ends, I'm having too much fun to deal with it right now.

Couldn't resist. Love the colorway, really pops out with the black touch points. Added Zipp302s and some GP4Ks, this thing flies. From the reviews I was a little concerned about comfort level, but after a couple longish ride those concerns have been squashed. Certainly not an endurance geo, but felt no abnormal discomfort from riding position. This will be the A bike in the rotation for a while.

My longest ride on mine has been 124 miles so far, no problems. I'm doing LOTOJA (206 miles) on it in September.
