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?

My Colnago Ace Ultegra that I picked up today. Photo was taken with my cheap jersey camera so it's not the best.

new 2011 cannondale synapse 5 alloy. still dialing in the fit, here it is in commuter mode:



i was really surprised at how much smoother and quicker it rides compared to my old bike (kona jts). probably going to upgrade the controls and seatpost to ritchey wcs stuff, get custom built light weight alloy wheels, and call it good.

It doubles as a zipper. Actually it's a cheap camera that I carry in my jersey. $39.00 at Wally World.

Nice and clean for a Colnago. So many of them look like they were painted by a Redneck Riviera airbrush artist on a bad trip.

How do you find that saddle angle comfortable? I feel like you'd be slipping off the nose all the time.

Then I wouldn't call it a retired bike. At the best it is a retired frameset.

Yes. To me a retired frameset even would be hanging on the wall. Retired means done working. To me the Felt is just on it's second owner/build
