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

Exactly what kind of drugs do they include with the purchase of a Specialized bike or frame?

But seriously, I have no room to talk since my last carbon ride was over 10 years ago. Now I have a scandium aluminum frame which is vertically stiff and laterally stiffer.
