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

Hot... but the front brake cable housing run looks weird, probably due to the calipers being used and the cable entry. Also, one of the few times that if Shimano made a carbon crankset it would be preferable aesthetically...

Is this better? It's the day i got it.
That's what pockets are for.
Mountain bike, jacked stem is not hot.

I need to slam that stem though...


Frame is heinous, poverty wheels, stem is flipped, saddle is pointed at the front hub, bars are higher than the saddle. You need a fit.

I'm guessing this frame is 1-2 sizes too big for you?

It's pretty cool that you can now get a saddle-bag big enough for a bike stand and took kit.

I'm a fat old man, it's the lowest i can feel comfortable.

As far as pockets, I use them to hold my 2l bottle of coke, Philly cheese steak hero and 2 packs of cigarettes. SO i need the saddle bag.
