This is the best I can do, it combines the things I like the most. It does get me some looks going to and from group rides.

I use oderless mineral spirits to clean drivetrains and Dupont Chain Wax on my fleet of bikes.

A proper road bike with Campy! Well done!

The DeLOME state atlas series is my favorite for scouting cycling and motorcycling roads. They also provide topo lines.

I use paper maps because I'm a cyclist and motorcycle rider. Paper maps give me a clear view of preferable curvy, low traffic roads that make those activities more enjoyable/bang for the buck. Paper maps were all I needed to get from Ohio to the Arctic Circle and back too ;)

My personal favorite was the Opaque Blue. However, my Varsity was Lime Green and probably responsible for why I'm still a good climber at nearly 65 years old, because it was so heavy ;) One of my grandsons rides it now.

I've been threatening to find one those BOB one wheel trailers and doing the Ohio Erie Canal route. When my kids were little I used to pull two of them at a time in a Cannondale Bugger trailer. It was handy for short trips to the store as well.

Only a few were made by Roland. The above posted Lemond is a Trek produced model, they didn't treat Greg very well. I have a LeMond GLX made by Billato in Italy, I haven't got it built up yet. Most steel frame LeMonds that aren't Treks are Billato built, they were imported by a company called...

It's Colubmus SLX and it is indeed a smooth ride, even with 23mm tires. Definitely different than my Lightspeed or Lynskey.

I'm new to the forum and am a rider/collector of steel road bikes. I do have a couple of modern Ti bikes but nothing feels like one of these to me.
