What road bike do you have?

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

I really like the color scheme on the Allez, the black/white looks great with the Rival components. And awesome backdrop too!

Thanks! Yep new pedals unfortunately also mean new shoes. Altho I'm quite happy with my Giro Code MTB shoes with full carbon Easton EC90 soles, the added tread lets me walk around. and they are stiff as...

Thanks, really happy with it first few months of owning it although (as u can tell by the pic) just moved to Dubai so haven't had a chance to use it recently until I can buy a car to then transport it somewhere safe to cycle. Most taxis don't like bikes on their back seat...

p.s. anyone know how to post a bigger pic inline with my text instead of the little jpeg link that came up when I uploaded my pic?

Thanks, i just upgraded the components this week. Im loving Rival so far.

The sad thing about that lake is its so low bc of the drought that the sailboats are literally sitting on the dry lake bed.

Yeah but it really is not any fun trying to get a bottle out of there when you have big bottles (Podium Big Chills) and a small frame (52).

Here are a few photos of the Cannondale R900 I picked up a few months ago from Craigslist. I spent quite a bit of time cleaning and polishing it up, and it is now ready to ride. Unfortunately, I have not had much time to ride it, though I'm hoping to put plenty of miles on it come springtime.

Centurion Dave Scott Expert, and Master. The Big one is mine, and I got the 53cm for my Sister to cross-train on.
Scored them both off of a movie set prop guy! the 53cm has 600 and record hubs, and the Expert has the revised 105 from 1988. They are great bikes for their vintage. It's funny that they also both have bio-pace
