And unlike my parent's Prius, you can actually have fun on this one instead of grabbing the oh s**t! handles on a nice corner. I hope me and her have a meaningful relationship...

just before i was murdered i picked up my new state of the art race bike.....ciocc with columbus slx tubing, full shimano dura-ace , mavic wheels, cinelli bars. beautiful, fast, responsive......
i still have it..it's been 24 years since i've been able to ride. i should give it away, but i just cannot do it.
please be careful...don't end up like i did, destroyed by a drunk driver.
I'm nixing the toe clips for Shimano platform pedals with SPD provisions. I want to swap out the Tiagra brifters and front derailleur for 105s - the rear derailleur is a 105.
And thanks man, I'll be careful.
I still have a little tweaking to do. I had to change the rear tire - the bike spent most of its life in a garage after being ridden in a AIDS charity ride but the brakes weren't adjusted. And so I put on a new Continental Ultra Race - REI was sold out of 700x25C Michelins...

A bike?...
I would hoping it would be a horse. A green horse.

It's green since you're powering it - not an internal combustion engine or a hybrid assisted with a 100-300V DC battery back and 1 or more electric motors.
