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

My 2011 Specialized FG Pros I just got to replace a pair of 2005/6 FG Comps also have that same patent leather shell thing going. Takes some getting used to...

Why start a new thread for the same topic?
The purpose of this thread was to just post pics of those thing we lust after.
(not to complain about the thread itself or to care about how old it is)

I have those but got them with the photochromatic lenes - good for all light conditions.

I was recently given a lezyne floor pump. It is nice and looks good but I don't enjoy screwing it onto the valve each time. Here is the best pump I have ever used... the only pump I will ever recommend. Torelli Amalfi:


Back to the original post... I am a sucker for world champion stripes and gold. Also, if you've ever used a Lazer helmet you know their tightening system is second to none.

I'd have to get them in photochromatic too. I'm spoiled by my Tifosis.
They (the Oakleys) look super comfortable. Lucky you!
My bike is almost done. Next is gear for the Spring!
After a pair of Sidi Ergo 2s, I'm probably going to get a pair of Flak Jackets.

That helmet needs either of these Sidis (I once found a pair of these for someone
who was looking for an odd color...brand new 2010 Sidi Ergo 2 Gold for $99.).









And maybe these...
