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

Biting the bullet - selling my steel and startin' to look

Very painful. I just don't have the time to find parts etc. Main motivation was to be able to have a bike that I can swap out clinchers on (instead of popping sew ups in NYC every week) so I can ride the hard roads with my kids.

Too sad. Here are the pix. The Nobilette is really sweet.

And here's the Legnano.

Funny thing is how large the frame size is back then. Looking at the literature in various mfr sites I see that a person my height (5'10") should have a 56 cm frame. But I know you will tell me to measure my inseam. Which I will do shortly.
