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

Yup. I'm not a fan of the "solid" chainrings. They look heavy.

I presume we're all supposed to know something about 'Neo' bicycles?

Oh yeah. I see those every friggin day. A brief synopsis about why anyone would ever buy one of these sleds might garner a couple more orders.

P.S. Googling 'Neo bicycles' and 'Neo Exile' doesn't get you much info. I'd say a Neo Exile with Dura Ace 7900 wins the Pcad Vaporware of the Century Medallion.

Are you retro-grouching or being a fashionista, living on the edge of hip?

Its good to see you're taking your endeavor to the next level. I like the simplicity of the monochromatic paint and low-key decals.
