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

How is she with the gears?

I have a seven year old on a fixie becuase I keep thinking the gears might be too much to handle / figure out / etc.

She's not ready for the gears yet. We have it at an easy ratio, and she's just glorying in the change from 34lb Walmart, typical kid's clunker, to riding on a nice lightweight bike. I was going to build her up a single speed as well, but then we found this...

I figure in a few weeks, when she's more used to the riding position, we'll show her the gears.

One really nice touch on this bike is the addition of cross-top brake levers - makes it easier to do the transition from up-right clunker to road bike.

Here is a picture of my 'baby'. I've just added a set of Fulcrum Racing 1's and my bidon cages are different now - RavX Alpha X's.

The Giant looks well I think because of the similarity of the font on all the names????

Comes stock with the 2010 model CAAD 9-4. I didn't change anything on this bike except for the wheels.

Weird. So it appears they are shipping then, in limited quantities. Maybe mine will be available earlier rather than later.

Beautiful bike XTRM965! How do you like the Easton crankset?

Well, you've seen our seven year old's new ride! Here's mine: Focus Izalco Team Milram... That biz trip to Europe cost more than I planned! But the bike is amazing: very stable at speed (hit 70km on a downhill this am), carves turns like a knife through butter. I was originally going to do a "shakedown" ride this AM - a short 30 or 40 km to play with fit, etc, but ended up doing 140...

Wheels are clinchers or tubulars? How do you like them?
