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

Is there no end the (insert insignificant part of the bike) porn treads? I think the blank porn thread was more than enough.

Then find yourself another pair. My new roadie has a NOS Cineilli Model 66. I messed up the wrap job pretty bad but regardless I like them.

well, I didn't think it through. I thought that bar tape was the cheapest, 'boringest', 'plainest', most unintersting and most 'unporn-like' thing on a bike, but I was wrong: it should've been a cable or a straight-guage spoke
