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

My first road bike. I just start riding a month ago, and I'm currently just working on putting on the miles for now.

Here's my new rig. The fit is pretty dialed. Will more than likely drop the stem in a couple weeks. The wheels are temporary.

I love the new Antares saddle...it's the best on the market IMHO. The fream and fork have never been ridden...just happen to be a year old or so. SRAM Red is great as always. The RotoR Q-Rings are like cheating...I love them and swear by them. I recommend them for all types of riders.

The fork is Parlee (Easton rebranded?) - the Edge was an optional upgrade but I couldn't see the value in it. I ordered Campy Record 11 - can't wait to build it up.

Campy Record 11 will make you want to do indecent things with your bike. It's CycleSex.

My new entry level road bike (Giant Defy 3):



She's not much (Sora components), but I just took her on a 8 mile ride and she felt damn good. Although, I'm pretty sure at this point people are going to tell me to flip the stem. . .

It looks like you got lucky on that bike. Giant accidentally shipped out the first few batches of the Defy 3 with a carbon seatpost instead of an alloy.
Kind of a cool mistake, but better than a bad one. I've sold a lot of those, everyobdy loves them.
