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

Article on Bike Design in Designews

Saw this in a post on Classic Rendezvous and
thought it warranted posting here.
The article is primarily about Trek Frames
but does discuss Kestrel, and has sidebar
on Ti frames.
Interesting comparison of L.A.s TdF bikes
for each of his TdF wins.

DesignNews bike article

A magazine for 'Design Engineers'. Now there's an oxymoron.

you're not joking. i thought the same thing.

it wasn't very informative, either. i was expecting something a little more in-depth.
