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

my new Fetish

Nearly completely finished building up my Fetish Penna, all thats left are new wheels (Velomax Circuits) and another Tacx Tao cage. However I can still ride her like this and its like a dream. Now admittedly I'm in love with the bike anyways but the ride is much less jarring than my old Specialized but is quicker to respond when I put the hammer down and still no flex. I'll put pics up tomorrow (hopefully) and will have a better ride analysis after I race her next weekend at Rutgers.

Final build list:
Dura Ace cranks and STIs
Ultegra BB, deraillers, cassette
105 brakes
Ritchey WCS bar and stem
Performance Forte carbon seat post
Selle Italia SLK saddle
Velomax Circuit Wheels
Micheline Pro Race tires
Reynolds Ouzo Pro Integrated fork
Time Impact S pedals

Freeware p.c only I think, when you get the prog running go-effects, size\aspect to resize smooth and make it the size you like.
Good for avatars too! just type in 64 by 64 pix.

Until looking at the photo I'd realize how high the stem raised, but it feels comfortable and I like having no spacers under the stem
