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

What? No flaming for having the chain on the small ring and wheel position. You are losing your edge man.

And that right there is why you want to post an image code link to something like Photobucket.

Yup - I could nit pick, but the paint job and bar tape make that bike hot enough that I'll give it a pass on some things. You're right though - it deserves a better picture.

I appreciate going for a nicer setting. The background is distracting and you are getting dappled lighting on the bike which isn't flattering either. Sorry, to nit pick - it is a really nice looking bike.

If you say NOT, you must explain why....preferrably in a bullet form.

Give him a break, when he gives his reasons we normally all yell at him for his brutality.

The water bottles are sooo big and distracting. Otherwise a total hot, but i can't get passed the bottles. Also was never a big fan of that spoke lacing on the rear wheel.

I'm gonna break the rules (I can because its my thread. ) and post a bike thats not mine. I found this when I was checking out Firefly bicycles. This, for me anyway, is one of the hottest bikes I've seen. It's more amazing because its a cross bike:



Check out the cable routing. It's Di2 btw:



The brake housing actually runs through a titanium tube welded inside the top tube.



The Di2 battery is housed in the seat post.



Probably my favorite thing about the frame is that the labels are all anodized on. Gorgeous:



More anodizing:



More pics and details here.

Totally awesome... that color scheme rules. I almost bought a 2011 BMC Race Machine in those same colors even though I don't need another bike... I also don't need another CAAD, but that is tempting too!!!

What skewers are those? They look pretty cool...
