    Okay, you asked for it. I don't have many and this is on the older bike. I also have a carbon fiber bike almost like the one pictured. The seat on that one has a much better aero position and of course, much lighter.

    Give you a black hat and suspenders:eek: and you'd look like the Mennonite guys I see when I go to produce auction in the summer. They all ride that type of bike.

    Not much at all, just some of the smaller limbs.

    Unfortunately I have not been able to ride for a few years now. That last hip surgery did me in. But I'll try again next summer if at all possible. Here are the two bikes I have. Sorry that one looks so small but basically they are the same size but certainly not the same weight. The blue bike is the carbon aero II. Yellow is Giro.
