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

That that were painted to match. anyway I have fiddled with the saddle for two months and it looks weird the pictures but is not as bad in person.

That Tarmac looks sweet and so does the Look. Both hot. Nice job with the colors on the Look and what bars are those?

ariones definitely have to slope that way, but that seems a bit much. you might not be an arione fit.

Could be because I have a 33" inseam. I have been riding an arione saddle on 3 bikes for the last 3 years after trying a smp, toupe and a pave.

My wife wants a modern roadbike (carbon/clip ons/sub 16lbs), but she actually flies on this thing. She's decided look at modern cyclocross bikes that break away (cc couplers/or the ritchey system) instead (maybe with disc brakes). We plan to travel with bikes in the future and its looking like x-cross bikes are the way to go.

Well let me help. First, the saddle material. Second, the big-to-(relatively)-big photo shoot pose [rd looks like it is being tortured]. Third, the triple. Fourth, the dork disk and rear reflector... That is a good start, go from there.

not hott, sorry.

I'd ride the hell out of that in the winter. Looks like a somewhat ideal bike for that purpose. Nice drop bar conversion!

My first road bike. Trek 2.1 Apex.

The picture makes it look black and gold, but it is black and silver. Anyone know how I can fix this. I am dumb in the ways of photography.
