I love my bikes. Here's one of them (I have a few), a Chapter 2 "Tere" from my ride out to Tokyo Bay the other day. Show me yours if you're also into cycling... ...
Good to see a fellow rim brake rider still out there! Haha. Chapter 2 is a fairly new brand based in NZ (where I'm originally from). This Tere model is a good all rounder, climbs well, responds well to sprinting and can be used with wider tyres for gravel...
I was at the shop about a month ago and they had just received a new, long-awaited shipment of Wiliers. I was so tempted — some great frame colors were part of the temptation.
I have an Italian steel road bike from the early 70's which I still love to ride. It's a very different experience but one to enjoy and appreciate. Just like a classic vintage watch.
I did my first century when I was 18. I have Trek Emonda on order but everything seems harder to get these days. It was 35F when I left for my ride this morning. ...
