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

As I mentioned earlier, I usually don't go for all black bikes but this one is hot.

I've found that I like riding "steep," i.e. 78-degree seat tube angle--makes it very easy for my inflexible self to get pretty aero, and apparently the steeper angle does improve run splits in Tris, so it's a win-win.

nice parts.. Pulsions..

(do you see any cracks anywhere?.. as I have seen a few with some interesting 'developments')




your tyre logos do not match with the valve stems...


minus style points.

Haha....no cracks....yet! They say they have resolved that issue with these newer models, I guess I'll see. Actually I might put a compact on it instead of the pulsions.

I would never have bought them but I got them from some uber-rich local guy who was practically giving them away. Brand new Pulsions with activ-ling BB, Sinergy Rev X wheels and a Powertap Pro (old model) built on a mavic rim with all assesspries for $550

Te Rev-X alone are making $400+ on fleaBay (probably where mine will go in a few weeks)

It is the Force that keeps it levitated. This is so that the dark force does not occur when the bike gets in my wife's way doing the laundry.

Gigantex with Joytech hubs.

very hot. Specialized has nearly always done a really good job with their paint schemes.

One of the better RS2 builds I've seen. Very hot. I'd recommend ditching the Kenda's though if you haven't already. They're light but a horrible tire. Schwalbe Ultremo's are just as light and are IMO the best overall clincher out there.

Some really nice bikes here, and no disrespect to any of them, but the hottest bike I've ever seen is still Rad's Montello.

Just sayin' ......
