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

There is a big difference between the first day of spring and the first spring day
First road ride this year for me here in NH, it felt awesome to be back out there.

Pretty much all of the bikes posted in the post your race rig thread would get hots, but I do not see many of them in Hot or Not.

Let that be a guide... to somewhere.

...have you made a decision yet on how you're gonna refinish it ? I'm picturing it in Imron,
or one of the other auto epoxy paints that is so shiny you can't even tell the color for sure.
