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

Still wondering if I made a mistake in not buying that cross bike. How sad is that ?
Couldn't you find a frame pump that fit?








Nice bike.

Century fail. Couldn't find pump this morn so hit the road without. 73.8 miles in and my front tyre found a radial tire wire. Hike 3 epic miles to Sbux, waiting on the little lady.

...I got that Tom Kellogg bike from a guy who used it for long distance endurance riding. Fortunately, none of that seems to have rubbed off on the bike.
