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

Easton wheels were standard on my Masi Gran Criterium S. I think they are really nice wheels.

Nice bike.

The grammar police notes your Rush sig and adds that "meerly" should actually be "merely."

Thanks everyone. I really like them and have only tried them on a very short ride (started raining).

The red Michelin Pro 3's do ride nice...

Didn't even notice the spelling error... Thanks

Took them out for my daily ride and put 26 miles on them. They ride very nice and really carry my 6'1", #223 carcass well...

Conte's bike shop here in Newport News, va. Traded a old set of American Classic CR-420's for them.
