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

two tcr 3 composites

I bought me and my wife one. 1400 a piece what do you guys think? I also got the polar cs200cad for myself... fitting on monday. I tried the specialized and several ocr and tcr giants, yes i know the frame is the same throught the range other than the composite/aluminum diff. almost got both of us the ocr 1 but thought the carbon would be nice, not sure if it is warranted but it make make me want to get out on it more often...

yeah i was happy with that. 250 off per bike i was looking into the limited but could not justify the difference in the two, althought the 10spd ultegra would have been nice. plus it gives me something to mess with later...
