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

As is, yes. Match the wheels, level the bars get a modern seat and I think it will have promise.

Sensitive to what? UV?

Getting better. Did a 64 mile ride on Sunday and it was pretty tolerable. That first week was just brutal.

Good to know! If and when I do get my road bike, for as pretty (and as cheap) those Rossetti Bikes look, I won't be able to tolerate the aggro geometry. You sir are a lucky one!
