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

What road bike do you have?

Some would say it looks strange - but I don't care as long as I am comfortable and efficient on the bike.

Thanks! They are quite a pain to install, but so far I suppose it was worth it. I've got chrome front and rear racks with undrilled tangs that I'm going to attempt to install today.

Frame swap
The cannondale was beat up, I work at a trek dealership, and I got an awesome deal on the frame from one of the guys on the team. So the CAAD 8 frameset is going on ebay.

Oh wait, that's what Bruyneel is for. He knows how to implement a "medical program" without turning up positives.

This is my road bike as it currently stands. It's an early 90's Faggin. Ridiculous paintjob with extremely minor blemishes. It's never been built up (I had to chop around 6cm off the steerer tube) I'm purchasing 2008 Campy Centaur for the build. Probably going with just a typical wheel build, MA3's or something of the likes. I practically wet myself upon seeing that I could get an Arione in that color. Hope you like, and I'll post non-cellphone pics when It's done. (more on Flickr)
