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

Basically just a beater I put together as a rain/back up century rig when I got a really good deal on this 04 Roubaix Elite frame and fork. Had most of the parts on hand. Turned out pretty decent and rides better than I thought it would.

NICE! That bike looks tall.....would look all race oriented with a bit less spacers, but definitely love this bike! (Im a sucker for the colour blue)

Yea it does look a bit tall in the pics. I noticed that too. In person it doesn't look that tall, even with the spacers. I think it was the camera angle I shot it from. Nonetheless, I may eventually lose a couple of spacers. I started out with the stem flipped up. Then I flipped it down. As I lose the potbelly and become more flexible, I plan to take a couple spacers out, especially as I start to do more triathlons.

I sold this 99 Allez Sport frame a while back because I had to admit that it was a bit too big. It had a nice stiff ride and I loved the burnt orange color however.

Beautiful Allez. My Gunnar Sport has a similar color. I'd love to have that bike as part of my collection.
