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

Am I a poser?
I want to use my Durace' 7800 crank arm on the other half of my R700 Compact crank............

The drive side only reads "Shimano"

Everyone will know what you've done when they see the drive side anyway so you'll be part-poser, part-loser. Just sayin'.

Anybody not riding the TDF is a poser or wannabe, don't you think? There is always somebody better out there unless you are one of the very best. So- wear it with pride!
