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 fuji's a tuogh color combination to pull off, but you did. Hot.

the Neilpryde is Hot. I much prefer the stealthy mattte finish when it's offset with a touch of gray. nicely done.

Yeah, I say hot, along with the others you posted.

I like the orange/bronze color - you don't see that too often on a bike.

Also, that stem is LoooooooonG.

Since it's now CX season, here's the old Cronus Ultimate. I'll probably do another race or 2 on it before my new Crockett frame shows up. It's Red-black, Shorty Ultimates, Bontrager bar. Wheels are old Zipp 404 rims on White Ind. hubs I built a few years ago. It weighs about 16.3lb.



Best to make sure you're...uhhmmmm...legal.

For something...



And as usual...



The new Crockett showed up today...

That Trek Cronus frameset looks much better than most of their road offerings. HOT.

Argons are another personal favorite of mine. HOT.

my country is quite small so i normally carry one bottle in my jersey pocket instead.

i do have bottle cages though. i took them out after realising most of the time, i just finish 1 bottle unless i go for century rides. which basically is more than the circumference of my country.
