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

boze...

so your friend just got himself fitted, ordered, and viola...new ridiculously hooked-up bike?

i'm VERY tempted

VERY

is that a resepectable name frame maker? it probably is, but i'm such a noob.

also, can you have a friend fit you, or should it be done @ a shop?
