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

Nice bike! Could you ride while balancing an egg on that flat top?

Those Soul 2.0's are nice but I think the 3.0's would finish it off nicer. They are probably the best all around wheels you can get in that price range too. But they could be more aesthetically pleasing on this particular setup.

really, Pearl-I made nice jersys like that in the 70s? Those are some pretty modern looking gloves. Only the bikes and the riders are from the 70s

Close. My bike is a 87-88(?) Guerciotti with 2nd gen Record 8-speed brifters.



Yeah, saddle and tape are dirty - it gets used.

I actually think of my dad. He had the same hair cut - in 1965.

Those new brakes look pretty cool. Ok, but tell me, I have Campy Record on one bike and Chorus on the other. Both late model 11 speed stuff. If you get on the brakes hard, I feel that they are so powerful that I can through myself over the bars. Aluminum rims, not CF. SO, coolness and blig aside, what are the benefits of these very nice looking brakes on the Crumpton over production Campy, for example?
