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

Two of my bikes are from Wilier. See my signature line and my avatar. Excellent bikes, from a fine Italian company, though I strongly suspect my bikes were not actually made on Italian soil.

what, no flat bar or MTB's?

X-Linked what handlebars are those? Not sure if I could get used to that particular shade of green and the red tires, but I bet it rides awesome.

The tires won't stay red. Those are the wheels off my black bike. I am sure I will be upgrading wheels soon. Here is the link to handlebars. I like them very much. Even more comfortable than my EA70 ErgoWing's on my touring bike.

Yes, the bike rides awesome.

ah I see, the angle of your pics above made it look like the bars actually curved up a bit towards the hoods before dropping down, but I see that's not the case. I guess that would be kinda weird.

What makes you like those bars so much? The carbon absorbing road buzz? The shape? Both?

For my preference, theywork out nicely. ice drop without being too shallow or too deep, the flat bar portion on top and the carbon make it all very comfortable.
