What road bike do you have?

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

Whoops! I pulled the wrong picture from Google image search. I was just looking for a regular metamucil picture, not the one with the smartass caption.

What I meant was that the bike has enough fiber to make you regular.

With that much celeste, I thought it would be overload for sure, but you pulled it off. It looks great.

Thanks. 60cm frame (virtual). Actual measurement is 53cm. My first experience with a reduced-geometry frameset, and I love it.

I expect it to explode any day now, since BF tells me that carbon is subject to spontaneous conflagurations...




BTW, it's 13.8 pounds as pictured.

Tubulars are your friend when you are a weenie poseur (PCad would be so proud!) These weigh 1.6 pounds less that the Mavic Carbones they replaced. Wheel set is Reynolds DV46T 12/20 spokes. Weight was 1260 grams for the set.

I sense a great disturbance in my pants...

Like millions of kittens cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.


Nice.Fing.BMC.


/nitpicking: you might consider de-badging the wheelset...but blue and silver
just doesn't go with the red and black awesomeness.
