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

Nope.

But I did recently complete building up a Opera Pelladio - a gorgeous Ti/carbon combination that was the inspiration for purchasing the Tete in the first place. Courtesy of fellow forum member Sushi Joe.

The Pelladio was new in '04 and I wanted one bad. But they were awfully expensive new and non-existent in the used market. So I ended up with a used Tete and sent it to the paint shop. 5 years later, the Tete is still in the shop and I'm riding what I wanted in the first place.

Someday, I'll get it out and then I'll either put it on the wall or sell it. Either way, I'm still in no hurry.

Thanks for asking...

I presume the Opera is in the process of getting its book made?
