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 the frame re-painted? I know Specialized has an orange Venge this year and Giant has an orange Propel. I just assumed the stem and seat post had been painted to match but now that i look closer, it does look like a re-paint.

Adrian, we need details.

Still very hot.

Not.

I am a fan of SRAM, but not Zipp.
What gets me is how nice that bike seems - somehow friendly and "colorful" in a metaphoric way, despite the pervasive blackness.

It's the polar opposite from my olde Madone, which was a rolling billboard.

That saddle is definitely for an old man from Missouri.

Staging is all wrong, and doesn't suit that bike on bit. As [MENTION=338487]bmcphx[/MENTION], the saddle does look like a sofa, but hard to really tell.
