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

As well as UCI and Whoosh... Are now on trial for the murder of this thread, which is a damn shame, cause it's all the same people that helped make this thread any good to begin with. (BIKE FORUMS, not Biggest Gas Guzzler, smallest penis, look how many other forums I belong too, and oh yeah-I'm tougher than you forums) This is how credibility is lost in this thread. Not a bike next to a garbage can. But bikes owned by garbage individuals. Stay on topic boys, none of you are acting like men right now. (wkg at least shares this sentiment it sounds like.) Before I am accused of being unpatriotic or something, I am sitting next to two troop coins you couldn't get even if you reached the top of your enlisted service. What we have done in the past doesn't make a difference right now, it's what we do with our present and future that matters. Bicycle talk, retreat to the tough guy, HOG, HD, Gas Guzzler forums to continue this...

In the meantime, that Medici has so much beauty on it kind of covered up with other stuff. Parts of that bike like the drive train/stays look amazing but the wheels, tire and toolbag really ruin the picture for me. 'Should Be' Hot!

Including yourself in your own equation would be fitting at this point.

Nothing^, but the bag detracts from the rest of the bike.

Nothing wrong with them at all. It's all aesthetics and vanity to me.
