I transitioned from mountain biking (9,000-11,000 elevation) to road racing about 15 years ago. After my Fuji was stolen from my garage I replaced it with this (stock photo) 2014 Ridley Fenix AL1 105 7005 in 2014. Back then a "ride" would be 2-3 miles and now I don't even go out for less than a 20 mile "trial" run. I look at newer bikes when I'm in the LBS but this is so fast and comfortable, for me, that I just replace the tires or cables when needed and it just keeps cranking.
