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

Why do you have a laser beam attached to your stem?

Garmin 705 but I'll switch to black zip-ties as soon as I get my new handlebar. I will also mount two sets of push-button switches for my Di2 when it comes in.

The wheels are sweet. The frame, while legit, is fugly compared to the wheels. Get a CAAD9 for those wheels!




Just kidding. They look great. I posted a pic of my CAAD9 with new wheels and someone said the above but with -get a Cervelo. I couldn't resist.

the number of times i see it has no effect on any of the following:
1. how hot/how sweet a bike it is (especially with the rotor cranks/Q-rings and quarq)
2. how fast it is
3. how much i would enjoy seeing one in my house

That's my reference point so I know how fast I'm going. I modified the timer in the Garmin to account for the time slowing down as I start to approach c.

That is definitely a beautiful combination.
