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

You bought primov8's bike? He asked me if I wanted to buy it. Too much pink for me, but it's a great bike for the right person. I think he was coveting a ti bike.

Heres my current build... first project I've undergone that hasnt been pieced together in under a couple weeks. Done my best diligence to slowly find parts locally from a lot of bike freaks and its kind of turned out to be a bit on crack. give me some suggestions.

It's fine - wouldn't change a thing, except maybe get double straps - maybe. I really envy the polished stays. As growlerdinky says: take a better picture!

Ordered this last month and all the parts came in last week... It's brand new, and my first road bike in 10 years. My last bike was a Moots Cinco MTB..

Nice! I hadn't even heard of these until I saw it in the shop. I'm out of the loop. They look like great bikes.

Good looking bike - don't like the total black, and the logo on the wheels is lolz.

I've seen this wall/rack before - it's at a bike shop, IIRC, and probably put there for customer pics such as these.

I'll forgive the wheel decals because they are extremely high quality wheel(but possibly a little dated). The saddle being pointed down is a bigger problem. My unit is getting numb just looking at that.
