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

The wheels before.

I would leave the decals uncovered, not because the decals are cool, but because they can not be removed.

And I am afraid that this otherwise hot bike is suffering a major case of non road pedals. With a pair of dura ace pedals or speedplays this would be hot.

thanks! Did you mean because of the weight of the cover-up decals? they were just too busy for my taste.

Also, I tried the road pedal route for awhile, and just could not do it. I often walk around (a lot) mid-ride everywhere so the SPDs make life so much easier.

Here is a revised pic of my Argon 18 Gallium Pro. Saddle bag now removed, new water bottle cages and chain on big ring. Sorry but I still have an erection with the cadence sensor...

I just got the bike built up so no reviews yet on the rims

Weight, and I am assuming in person you can tell that their are decals. The wheels also match your frame so it would probably look good.

If you love creamy, get the 135 f2. It's got the best of any Canon lens I've ever shot (including the 50L and 85L), but that's just my opinion. The 85L isn't bokeh, the background just simply disappears. Yes, it's great, but the 135L makes me look genius (and that's no easy feat!)

And I own the 100L but the 135L blows it out of the water when it comes to portraits.

What?! This isn't the Canon Forum? Oh... sorry. <steps aside>

Nice bike with a very nice component selection. Looks like a good training bike setup. As a Thompson seat poster user on one of my road bikes and mountain bike, I don't object to the hell bent look, but they can seen disturbing...
