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: Cervelo RS, Specialized Stumpy, Schwinn 974

Felt Z-series looks great to me. So does Giant Defy Advanced. I ride Cervelo RS. I'm an old fart, I need some bike-correcting-my-tired-ass-mistakes stability. But I still like one-finger-lift weight.

Red is wowza, except the FD needs a little babying on simultaneous front and rear shifts, so I have to do sequential. Shimzo is the strongest, if you are an abuser of your equipe. It's a beauty. Campy is really nice, but bear in mind the genius Tulio died. His successors, smart but not geniuses.


SRAM guys still in genius generation. Even though they are from Chicago, not California.

SRAM stuff is pretty well known for the noise it can make.
