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

There's a new Rolex that's just come out and I was surfing for pictures since I'm thinking about picking one up. I was a member of that forum a while back.

Edit, that and I'm bored out of my skull.

i think he took the ibis. if a bike is going to be thrown around, you take the metal one without fancy paint design. that would be the intelligent thing to do. intelligent...maybe I am putting the cart before the horse.

I think he took the Addict. I seem to recall an exchange where I told him the baggage handlers would trash his carbon frame. He yelled at me and cited his 20 years of bike traveling experience.

Sure looks that way. Cut the steerer and stacked some spacers up top.

I'm guessing they cut it for a full stack, and go from there. All the bikes in the shops seem to be that way.
