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

Thanks! Got it at Performance back in '07. I don't think they sold very many as it appears to be discontinued. She handles VERY well though..

That is OK Lazer. I love my Allez as well, but I fully understand it is no Eye candy compared to most of the beasts on here. Also, you can probably find some satisfaction in knowing that most a good portion of these beautiful bikes Never get used as much as they get showed off. I like the allez myself, but I would agree with the NOT for now at least.

I think that allez is.. I like the blue ones a lot. Not the red so much. Then again, all 3 of my bikes are blue so I'm kinda biased.

Short version: HOT!

Long version: Awesome Troy Lee design on the Selle Italia saddle. I've seen these bars a few times on other bikes and they always make the bike look hotter than ever, pure pr0n. That computer actually makes the bike look even hotter.

Thanks! I absolutely fell in love with the saddle and waited months for it. Look aside, it feels awesome. The computer is due to hit the market early summer. The buttons are actually on the back of the unit, and activated by rocking the head left/right. Super easy to use while riding. I'm 3 rides in and loving it so far.

Wow, I had to do a double take on that Polar. What model is that? Looks like it says CS-500. It's hawt. Makes my CS-600 look plain.

Nice bike. Now, there is one that could use a white stem and seat post. Even the white handlebars.

Found this. That Mongoose is a pretty light too with stock parts. Retail price isn't cheap, but I read somewhere that Performance was blowing them out with coupons for as low as $1000. I would have bought 3 if they were still available.
