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

is this the thread where we cannot be critical? I think it is a bit bland and boring.

If you are lucky enough to be located in Southern California and are considering riding in the Tour de Big Bear or partaking in the week long Big Bear Cycling Festival and you know how to stage a bicycle and you follow and/or post bike pics and critique in the hotrnot threads AND you want to have some fun - well this event may be just for you...

Announcing - ROAD BICYCLE CONCOURS!

Friday, August 1st, 2014 - 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Tour De Big Bear Rider Registration
Robinhood Resort/Nottingham’s Tavern

If you consider your road bicycle a jewel not a tool – this event is for you. If you spent more time picking out colors and accessories than you did your engagement ring you really need to enter. If you keep your bicycle in your living room and not in your garage – consider entering this free fun event with prizes for the judged winners. A Concours is a competitive judged event that will score your bicycle in many categories that include; staging, cleanliness, uniqueness, and even color matching, plus more. This may be the first ever, possibly one and only Road Bicycle Concours held in United States and we are proud to add this fun event to the Big Bear Cycling Festival and for Tour de Big Bear riders. Winning bikes will be on display Saturday afternoon during the raffle and prize ceremony. Come up to Big Bear Lake, shine, show, and ride!

I don't like the bars, they look too "track-ish".

Disagree. Those look like classic cinelli 64 or 65's. Hot.

Is it better? It still looks uncomfortable. OCLV bought one from Berk a while back and claimed it was comfy. It was hard to believe.
