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

I kinda like it. It's minimalist.

World's hottest chainkeeper ever made with drill, hacksaw and yards of sandpaper for a Cervelo p2 volksbike converted into a 1x10 roadbike complete with XX derailleur to muscle up the usual underbuilt and poorly thought out and yet inexplicably popular "Red" gadgetry.

Worlds hottest method of storing your inflator/co2.
Need to take the slack out of your head tube?
Simply use front skewer to access the custom star nut at the dead bottom.

It looks like one of the most embarrassing bike accidents ever, in the making. "On a fast descent I was reaching for my aero bottle straw and my hands got tangled in the cables. After that I really don't remember anything. Could you guys go get a coke or something? I need to use the bedpan."

Actually it's the linoleum flooring that I have more trouble with.
Kind of takes away from austere elegant manliness of cervelo p2 number 456,672,761 if you obviously photographed it in your laundry room.

I'm pretty sure I saw those exact same bottle cages on a BSO I was working on at a bike-coop.

Looks like you got rolled the tires on the wall after it was freshly painted.

Actually I painted my walls to match the tire tread.
The cops in this forum are very persnickety about color composition.
But check out that stokin chainkeeper!

That's dedication.

Hopefully you never have to switch tire models or you might have t repaint your walls.
