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 a "time" bike, not supposed to pass quietly.

So I'm a little weird in that I say to myself, "hot... oh - not. Hot! Not. Hot. Not, hot, not, hotnothotnot" as I see a bike roll away from a stop IRL?

Not as weird as those of us who go back and forth during chain ring shifts! Can't decide whether my friend's bikes are hot or not. I keep changing my mind when we're climbing and descending.

Love it! That thing is sexy. What size if you don't mind?

Although, I'd rather spend $12,000 on a bike just a little bit more custom. Not that Cannondale did a bad job picking components.

While I don't think it's appropriate to discuss what I spent on a bike but it was significantly less than 12k due to team pricing.

It's a 54

I've always hated the black on black on black look on frames as well, and promised myself I would never buy one.

Now I have one.

Oh, hah, didn't recognize the headlight mounted upside down, thought it was some gigantic battery pack. You get a pass until summer

With pedals, cages, light mount, and garmin mount 13.9lb. With tubulars I could get sub 13.

That light is 3/4 pound.
