That's a pretty road bike.
I'd take up ridin a road bike but it just might well kill me.
That and the arthritis....
This gettin old crap, ain't for wimps.

Did I tell you guys I got my fourth grand son the other day?
And one more on the way.....
Them kids been busy.

hiya stan, nice new bike. i have been an active road racer here in the states for the past few years (off and on depending on injuries and career!). i still ride and race lugged steel, but i am currently looking for a new bike to race this season. just can't seem to get on board with sloped top tube geometry, and damn near everything these days is.

keep me posted on the ride, a racer friend got on board a SCOTT carbon last season and loves it.

Hey Silver,

The OCR is fitted with all 105 gear, this bike is as far as my $$$ could stretch

I actually have a mongrel. Combination of 600/Ultrage and Dura Ace. The Ace is worth every penny of it though I haven't tried the latest versions. Mines about 10 years old already and it was leftover when I got it anyway.
