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

The orange ultegra one looks a LOT better though.

The S Ram one also comes in black

Damn this sounds like THE bike...I'll be waiting on this too if it's going to happen. And knowing BD, they manage to make stuff like this happen.

I really like it. There are things that I would change upon receipt, of course but, that is a nice bike for the money.
