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

If it's anything like my G5, you'll love it. Be careful trying to run 25s in the back though - I tried on my winter wheels and my guads flexed the wheels enough to rub some paint off the inside of the seatstays. Clearances are... small.

Very HOT.

Something about an all white frame with only white/black accents. Zipps and PT don't hurt either...

the ridley is way hotter than that argon, which is expensive but nothing exciting. the argon has sporting components but a position with drop and reach that appear to be well within the confines of pedestrian. short and high stem is short and high.

The 'Dale could be hot with a different wheelset, but I really dislike those spokes.

To me, Matt, as beautiful as that Bmw and Cervelo are, that picture represents EXACTLY what Other people told you to buy, whether that was the case or not. The most "me too" bike on BF sitting on the most "me too" car in luxury sport right now. That doesn't make it a not for me. All of the car, bike and picture are Hot in my book. I'm just not that trendy.

Well maybe XLinked didn't put it so well, but I think even you have to realize that pic screams 'dooshbag'. ^
