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

Thank you good sir...with the aero bars and my rippling guads I've gained at least 118.7 watts on average.

Fits right in with its descendants.

I'd send you my 5D and TS-E 90, but you wouldn't know what to do with it.

Move away from the bike, bend your knees, and try again

Doesn't matter. I don't think they're going to get many Hots for a bike photograph at the LBS.

I'm giving you an Incomplete. You're obviously not finished putting it together.
