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

Here is a picture of my new ride. I picked it up on Thurday. It is an Alchemy Diablo, with all 105 and FSA cranks. Ritchey Aero Road wheels and Ritchey stem.

I haven't had a chance to take it for a good ride yet only a quick ride in my street to double check seat position and that the computer is reading ok.

Maybe tomorrow if the weather is good.

I hate that this forum won't except pic's over 100 kb. I took them off the rack to take individual pic's and then it refused them. So, now we have as individual as possible from the rack.

These are my rides. Oh, and the wifes.

Somebody doesn't like decals, eh? Beautiful bike. How do you like your Spinergy wheels? I like mine until I catch a strong crosswind on a fast descent!

Just got my new bike delivered today.... nearly destroyed my body getting pedals offa my old hybrid...

Here she is. New to me, but an old model I reckon, was hard to source at the price. Bianchi Gold Race 600, campag xenon equipped for the most part, so we're talking bottom of the range here!!










I'm as happy as a pig in sh1t.

Just picked her up last night. Specialized ROubaix Comp. Full Ultegra with FSA Carbon Cranks and Shimano R540 wheels. I swapped the seat out for a Sella Italia Turbomatic 4. Also has Speedplay X/3 pedals which are hard to see in the pics.

Yeah, easy to say 'who really cares' when you've got one of those bikes under your ass at any given time.

Sweet! I got to look one of those over when I was in Columbus, Ohio last month. Very sweet ride!

Bikes: are better than yours.

This is my current project bike. I'll post again when it is done in the next couple of weeks. It's a 1978 Trek TX-500. Back when Trek was five guys brazing frames in a Wisconsin farm, this is what they made. I had it painted and the decals reproduced by a motorcycle custom shop. I did the lug lining and the lettering in the engraved seat stay. The original color had a metallic flake paint job. I had the shop do a powdercoat. I just asked for the seat tube decals to be reproduced, but they threw in some little ones I used on the fork. The tubing is Ishiwata 022.

Yeah, I haven't decided what color cork I'm going to use. Maybe yellow. Could also be blue or white. Bar wrap is a BIG decision. I might put some moustache bars on it if I can get momovelo to actually SEND the ones I ordered. I've also got to make a trip to the junk yard to find another Dia Compe brake lever.

Lovely, apart from the pedals, which look sick.

But, yes, lovely indeed....

The pedals match the bottle cage. Must remain coordinated, you know.

She's a real looker. Nice to see another Pinarello.
