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

By the stack of spacers....A pure racing geometry is not for everyone.

Dear I recommend a Cervelo RS?

looks nice. what are the improvements in the 6700 grooup over 6600 in your opinion? Obviously there must be a weight savings, and the hiden cables. How is the function, better, worse?
Also , I will have to wait for the full ride report before there will be any possible chance of any ruing. After veiwing the specimen I must admit there is potential for some rue, not on the same par as the Cervelo', but rue none the less. congrats.

Looks way cooler. Lighter. Hidden cables.

That is all.

See now the beauty part of this is that it spools out in multiple parts, like a bad TV series that never seems to end ('Lost' comes to mind). Because by late this week or early the following week, those D.A. wheels and cluster arrive from Wiggle in the UK. I will throw tires on those and put them on the bike, take new pictures, post them here, and then get all the sycophants and Pcad Minions going all over again.

Didnt they do something different with the hoods to make them more comfortable? ( Comeon pcad work with me here.) I have heard mixed reviews on this , some say yes, some say not so much.

I could see that being a problem.... we live on a road that has a hill that's a tad bit steeper than that (I don't know the exact grade) and if I'm not completely dead before I hit it, I've definitely bonked when I reach the top.

I strongly feel short people have an unfair advantage in this sport.

Smaller aero profile, larger ego.
