Does he ride the Trek Emonda?
I remember riding friend's Colnago's from the late 80's. Works of pure art, but not much different than my Bridgestone 700 in ride quality.
I remember when I turned 16. the bikes went into the garage until college. Little thing called driver's license. When I couldn't leave my car at school, my dad made me ride the bus home. I refused. Rode my bike 350 miles home instead. Never looked back.  |
He rides (tries to) the Trek almost every Sunday. Its our riding day. He isn't big into suffering but like to jump me on the short steep hills on the way home. He's light, at 126 lbs so he goes. I can't jump like that anymore off the saddle but I give him a good fight. I always wear him out on the long 1 mile climb home. I start and have him breathing hard half way up so he has nothing left to get that big jump on me. Other then that, he's doesn't push too hard on the flat or those long drawn out 2-4 % grades for a few miles or rolling hills which I like. I might lose my riding partner next year because he wants to play volleyball at school. I am a little sadden inside just thinking about it. I can slways get beat up by the Sunday group ride. They are always there.
I think all steel have the similar ride to them. Of course there are differences between tube size or shape but for the most part, they ride pretty similar but the off the saddle stiffness is where it shows it true color of the builder.
