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

haha...we get salt here...no sand...but this baby wont see that stuff...fair weather bike only.

I'll ride my mtn bike through the winter if there are days when the roads are clear enough, and my Trek Madone late fall/early spring if there is a chance of rain/snow etc.

Most of my 2010 kilometers will be on the Marinoni for sure (weather permitting)

Looking to get a steel 'cross bike soon; probably be a "production handbuilt" frame like a Gunnar.
And so it is: Gunnar Crosshairs. I'll post pics of the stable someday.

Membership ACCEPTED! Sucks that even with a stable of 9 bikes, I don't have my old red Raleigh anymore.

I found the frame at a co-op, I guess the previous owner wasn't happy when he took off the cable stops.

It's amazing how high you need to prop up the front wheel in order to make the seat look level.
