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

Bikes: Gilmour road, Curtlo road; both steel (of course)

It is being built up and I should have the finished bike in a couple weeks.

Hope this helps.

Ride safe
Hey, another Curtlo owner!

I love mine, even though it isn't flat black...
