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

My idea of mid life crisis bike is a folder, or comfort/endurance bike.

....it did get a "hot" in the commuter hot or not thread. I have no illusions, however.

It was converted using parts I had on hand. Built to run in to work on the train and ride the 16 miles home in the evening.

Kinda hard to follow Herbie's Guru, but it is hot for a folder!
You'll most definitely be getting a PM from me when I crest the mountain of my life cycle.

Hey guys,
This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while. My name is Thomas, and I recently graduated from UBC and UGR, now I work for Microsoft in Boulder, CO.
Without further ado, my Bianchi Eros road bike. It's a replacement for a Cannondale Synapse with 10s 105 components that got stolen while I was in school.



  • Full 10 speed Campagnolo Chorus components
  • Cinelli stem
  • San Marco Ponza saddle
  • Knock-off Chinese carbon tubulars
  • Knock-off Chinese 'aero' Campy seat post
  • Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX tires


She's a dream to ride, and I love her. You guys may not, haha.
I did have the frame powder coated and got new decals for it.

Great looking bike! Very classy. I envy you. Been looking for a clean ten speed bianchi for a while. That's a keeper
