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

I know EXACTLY what you mean. That is how I felt my first ride on my Super Six after 2.5 years on my Allez. It really is amazing to feel the difference. Have fun on that thing,and ride the crap out of it.

Gorgeous. I just picked up a 2009 Tarmac Pro in white with full campy record. Can't wait to ride it this week!

Good idea WhyFi. I switched the crankset to Fulcrum Torque R, in 175mm, more my size. Updated picture...
