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

My Lynskey Helix
Hi Everyone

This is my new Lynskey Helix bike that I had just built yesterday and took on a sub 100 km ride last night. It handled beautifully and was so responsive that I was sorry that the ride ended too soon due to the rain and very wet conditions. Here in Singapore when it rains it pours! Motorist here don't really want you on city streets especially in the rain.

Regards to all,
Anthony.

New thread --> SRAM vs Ultegra lever -- which is better for ringing a bell.

Follow up thread --> SRAM vs Dura Ace lever -- which is better for ringing a bell.
