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

Wish I could... with the pinched chainstays there is not enough clearance.

Made some changes to the daily commuter



Before



After

think the switch from white to black was a good choice? I know it will be a lot easier to keep clean, that's for sure.

Quattro Assi

2011 Quattro Assi DBS, 61cm



Mix of record and chorus, mavic ksyrium wheels, ritchey race slick tires, thomson seatpost/stem, ritchey crank, concor lite, fsa orbit carbon hs. Steerer now cut, stem slammed. It looks so clean because I've had two knee surgeries this year.

54 cm 2012 Trek Madone 5.2 purchased New Year's Eve 2012. While most people dislike the brand, I am loving my bike. It does the job for me and that's all that matters. After the crash, the only contact point damaged was the bar tape. Replaced the stock saddle as well and now loving the Romin Evo. Just need a bike computer, maybe a more comfortable handlebar, and definitely lighter wheels. Considering 11-32 cassette with the upcoming Ultegra RD Mid-cage in case a bailout gear is needed, but uncertain at this point.
