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

Wow, the R3's on this page are awesome! Both topped with a comfy Arione, and great performing keo's, but then there's the Dura-ace build with the cool low spoke count Rolf wheels and the campy build with some spiffy fulcrums. Therefore they have enough distinction and it would be impossible to decide between the two, maybe I should get both?!

Just picked it up today. '06 Cannondale R800. My first road bike. Graduated from an '07 Trek 7.3fx that I bought just this past May. Didn't take very long before I was craving something better.

Raised stem by 5mm

My first road bike

This bike is amazing, despite my photo. I rode my first century (103.5 mi) yesterday in very good comfort -- except for my aging, aching muscles today. I'm no maniac, but 35 mph descents are stable and exhilarating. Plus, the fender and rack mounts give me the versitility for some touring.

Here is a Bridgestone that I found in the garbage. This bike is killer but I do not know what the name of it is or year or price range for that matter.

Here's my Seven Elium SG with Campy Chorus components and Mavic Ksyrium ES wheels:










Waiting on a Ti bottle cage to better match the frame, and still trying out different saddles (currently on a San Marco Aspide and have a Aliante Gamma to try next).

Nice Elium

Smorg,

Nice bike and nice pics! I really wish my Seven came with the Seven seatpost collar.

I tried to post a photo of my new Alaris, but all I could attach was a thumbnail. How do you post photos larger that 100kb?
