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

Nice. What does it weigh?

Was it Ultegra or DA before?

Nice!

The only thing I would have done differently was put on centaur brakes instead of veloce. They're about 40 bucks for a set new on ebay, and I like their pads and setup a lot more.

Amazing build

You mean veloce instead of centaur? I think I got the set of centaur brakes for 43.00 shipped. They do work great! thanks
