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

With the race wheels on, it's not quite a whoosh, or the characteristic angry sound of a full disc wheel, but it's more disc-like than others... definitely makes enough of a "you're getting passed" sound.

The cool thing is that you don't hear it until it's too late..I call it the "Oh Crap I better pick it up" sound..

Pinarello Record Equipe with Record/ Chorus mix and Fulcrum wheels (rebuilt this summer). It needs new decals badly- the old ones have mostly flaked off.

Thanks, that's saying quite alot. There are some beautiful rides on this thread.. As I'm going back through the posts I've only seen 3 or 4 other Kestrels. I know there has to be more of the them out there. It is cool having something different though...

Giordana Capella. Dura-Ace and Shimano 600. Want to replace the stem with something a bit more classy. I love this bike.

Here's my KHS Flite 900, new this year. This picture was taken using a medium format digital camera in my brother's studio with the bike suspended by SpiderWire.

I tried resizing it but photobucket's algorithm is pretty crappy so I decided to leave well enough alone until I can resize it with Photoshop.
