any cyclists/roadies? - Page 14

^^ Looks like short stem for relation to the rest of the bike ^^

How's the fit? I like when Trek had the traditional geometry when Armstrong was racing. As soon as he retired (the first time) they went to semi-sloping which I am not as much a fan of (nor was he).

I have nothing to compare it to but it felt good riding it over the weekend. Was worried a road bike would feel awful/bizarre/foreign after a mountain bike.

Haven't been able to ride for several years. Still have my 1980 Nishiki 10 speed. Love this bike. Still looks new. Used to ride 30-50 miles every other weekend.

It was awesome! Fund raiser for cancer research. Had only worked up to 41 miles beforehand so I was a little worried. But during the ride I never thought I wouldn't make it. Tremendous feeling of accomplishment.

I used to be. I just sold my 2002 Roadstar. I loved that bike and have ridden it all over the place. I have owned a bike since 2000 and hated to sell it. I guess it's time to sell when you go to buy vehicle tags and realize that you haven't even put the decal on the tag that you bought last year, and that means I didn't ride it at all for a whole year.

Been riding a lot this summer. Just bought Pro Race 4 25mm tires and love them. Gave up on the tubeless tires.

I can't stand indoor riding. Couldn't pay me to do it... Well depends how much one is paying me

hammondc · 08-09-2016, 06:09 AM

Zwift is a blast. I actually ride more inside now than I ever did outside.

mmblz · 01-15-2017, 07:20 PM

Did my first Zwift ride today... mountain 8. Pretty fun but it messed up the end and gave me a partial ride which was frustrating. Also can't decide if I'm incredibly slow or there's something wrong with calibration...

hammondc · 09-04-2020, 08:47 AM

BUMP!!!! anyone riding?

Fall is around the corner. By faaaaaar my favorite time to ride. Looking for a new bike now

Any thoughts on Di2 vs eTap??

Willem2 · 09-08-2020, 12:56 PM

I’m riding. Started as a Wanna be triatlete, later on some years just some organised routes. Than a few years not, than again some cycling and my best effort is 6 times the Alpe d’Huez and la Marmotte, just in time for my gold certificate.
Since 4 years a triathlete again and hopefully next year my first full distance.

Have you searched on YouTube? There are reviews available.
If your used to Shimano, think u need a little bit time to get used to Sram.

I find Campagnolo very nice also, looks are great for some time. But over here, there were many years problems with spareparts. So you had to look for a store very hard and had to wait long.

I had Campagnolo on my titanium bike but it wasn’t that good quality. I changed back to Shimano.

Do you remember which groupo that was? Been a Campagnolo fan for 40 years and had Dura Ace on an Eddy Merckx like 20 years ago.

Shimano make nice stuff too. I see the difference between Shimano and Campagnolo like cars. Which do you want to take for a drive through the Alps; a Nissan GTR (Shimano) or an Aston Martin / Ferrari (Campagnolo). All will do it brilliant, may the GTR the fastest... I know which one I'd rather drive.

Even when it comes to wine; it Campagnolo all the way!
