Mt. Doom Bench Bulletin: Pigs Fly

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

We'll see how I like the stuff after a month, it feels good in the driveway. I won't be riding again for at least another 7-10 days anyway. Oh well.

I respectfully disagree. I find the half moon wall table a little too ornate and a bit froo-froo whereas the bench strikes a better balance between function and form. Just prop up a bike against that table and see what happens.

Further proof that Pope Pcad is a velo genius who serves as an inspiration to Freds the world over.

By the way, the SRAM levers look really vulgar. It's definitely a chav choice.

Pcad sets a high bench mark. You can see it clearly behind the bike.
