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

Close... zipp vuka and giant carbon slr stem.

The problem with giant overdrive 2 is that you're limited on stem choices.

sheldon fender nuts for the win! sheldon fender nuts are brake nuts that extend outward and have a 5mm thread inside that you can put the fender bolt into - so you can quickly/easily put on fenders.



fenders may seem dorky, but damn they keep the drivetrain/frame clean. I was soaked through and through regardless, but at least the bike was spic and span after the ride.

BRIDGESTONE...really? You make me wanna go dumpster diving for a Huffy and post it on here for the world's ****test bike!

The bridgestone RB1 is one of the finest steel bikes of all time. It is a bona fide classic.

Thanks for showing us how knowledgeable you are. We now know that your opinion is so uninformed as to be worthless.
