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

It's the PC spelling of the synonym for lame.

i used white bartape because it was lying around from my caad9 which i had replaced with black. in any case, if anyone's interested in a full 105 group or wheels *whistles*

actually, i just returned from a ride on it. it was our first good day for an outside ride. i wanted to take the road bike but i am still waiting for a cassette and chain so i was forced to use the scattante. the fit seemed good, but i am sadly out of shape. two 6-7% grades, a 17+mph headwind, and a 42x16 gear ratio did this guy in.

What's the finished weight on the bike? I'm guessing around 20?
