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

Wow. Too bad my ass doesn't like the Arione. I'm even close enough to pick one up from them. (Just picked up my new bike from them recently)

I agree.

I looked into wheelworld.com and read some pretty awful stories about the accuracy of their stock levels, their order fulfillment (not notifying customers when a part is out of stock, and not shipping it when it does come in), and listing products as new when they're take-offs or missing parts that typically come in retail packaging.

Then again some people also said they've had no problems so I don't know what to think.

^ Interesting. I've never had problems with them, but then again, I only buy in their store. I did notice some things took a few days to fall off the website inventory after I or someone else bought what we knew to be the last one.
