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

It's the Lechampion Apex with FSA omega compact bars and the saddle is a Performance bike Forte SL.

I've had it for ~18 months and have been really happy with it.

Thanks...I dig the bike very much. I'm loving the wheels as well...

Not hydraulic...Avid BB-7 Road cable actuated... Nevertheless, I love them, stop me on a dime and I'm 205# @ 5'10"...

The groupset is Ultegra 6700... CX70 46t/36t chainset, 12-30 cassette in the rear... I am pondering a wee bit lower gearing due to some short but steep climbs in my area... I have one hill .3 miles long that averages 13% and pitches to 24-29% at certain points, I caught some leaves on it my last climb, rear tire slipped and after my momentum was gone I was cooked...A few other short but nasty ones as well on trails that just happen to be on very convenient routes...

or I should just HTFU...lmao

Here is my bike. Thinking of putting a little color into it with bar tape but not sure. Kind of like the subdued look.

17.5 or 18.5 depending on wheelset I put on. I am a clyde though, could get it down to 16 easily but need that extra heavy stuff to keep me happy.
