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

A wise decision.

I vote Moots, Merlin, Serotta, Seven & IF . . . all tried & true.

That is a retty bad website...

I've never had a chance to ride a Lynskey but held one in my hand once and fell into complete lust.

I can't tell you much more.

That has to be the absolute worst friggin logo I've ever seen on a bicycle. What the F are they thinking over there? My Motobecane stickers look 100x better and I'm getting grief from you pinheads about those.

I don't own one and I don't ever anticipate owning one, but I've always been intrigued by Serotta since the Lemond glory days. If you need custom, go full custom because the difference in fit is incredible. I have short arms and legs and a long torso and no production bike fits me without a weird-looking seatpost and a boat tiller for a stem. Mine's a Tom Kellogg.

Tasteless and graphically ignorant is no way to go through life young man, even if it does help you fit in with your friends and family.

Hey Hammer I thought that Legend was a Ti model from Serotta. I could be wrong?

I got a Ti bike 2 years ago and like it very much. It flexes like steel (which I like very much, don't like stiff bikes!) and it's very light.

It is. I bought mine in 1995 and just turned over 87000 miles on it.
When it hits 100000 I get a new one.
