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

Reds for sure, I do admit Dura Ace build quality and shifts slightly better, but Reds double tap and quickness can't be beat!

I just don't like the white accents (aside from the spokes), sorry. Probably rides like a dream though so cheers for rad bikes!

Everything but the wheel logo font. Shazam. And I don't usually like carbon bikes.

These lugged carbon frames are starting to grow on me, but there is an uncanny valley where an expensive bike starts to turn me off because it's expense doesn't seem justified by it's form or function. This is one of those cases. So NOT.

The RXRS is one of the hottest frames out there (and they look much better in person), but this is supposed to be a thread for submitting your own bike, so I'll just say that I look forward to the thread getting back on track.

^ This applies to me too. The same applies to cars as well.

Once a bike is too expensive to use because you'll be paranoid of getting it scratched, it's too expensive.
