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

OK, so maybe that disqualifies a bunch of new stuff...
Why?

Some of that stuff is the best CF technology...

Oh and it doesn't matter if you still own the bike, or if it even is your bike, just that it belongs or did belong to someone registered on this forum.

You must have ridden these because that's the exact phrase that would go through your mind when you pulled the levers and very little happened.

Sry. I'm obviously not spending enough time keeping up with BF. I'll try to do better.

Need to take a proper pic with the white garage door. And the few change I've made since I got it. Bars are a little lower, few other minor tweaks.

Man, I love riding that bike. It's everything I could imagine wanting in a bike. Really.

Although, one of these days I'm going to upgrade the crank. Either to Red or a power meter of some kind. Maybe both if that pm-in-a-pedal works out...

But I just moved to Denver and need to get an AT setup, so I'm holding off on any bike purchases until after ski season, I think.
