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

Look 555

The 566 looks awesome!
Same weight as the 555 but apparently it's stiffer.

The 566 is an awesome looking bike. Better looking than the 555 IMO. FYI the shop i work in has a 08 555 in XL, sans wheelset hanging in the basement....

I wonder if there are any other advantages of going with a smaller frame other than weight. Someone once told me, unless I planned on doing a lot of hardcore racing, a smaller frame wasn't what I needed. I guess its just a weight thing....
