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

It's pretty hot though.
Agree. I also agree with the assessment of the Pro stuff by the owner. I think Zipp Service Course SL Beyond Black.

This isn't really a criticism of your bike, but just a question in general. Don't people like colored bartape anymore? I'm thinking of changing mine from black to green or some other color just to break up the hood - bar - stem area from being all black. When all those are all black, it just looks weird to me.

Oh, yeah. I guess it is one of those velominati rules where you have to match saddle to bar tape.

One of those rules I regularly break.
