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

How do you like the bike? I was considering the Supersix Rival as a budget race build.

first impressions are amazing, consider of course that my previous bike was a $600 piece of crap.

frame seems very stiff, the stock wheelset is *bad* so replacing them is a must

I know, I should have taken it off for the picture!

Its about 17 lbs I think. I have a Giant TCR Advanced with Altegra. This is so much more comfortable. Not alot quicker but I blame that on the cold and me...

Worth every penny!

That is like saying "I am perfectly healthy, except for the fact that I have Cancer."
