20 miles like it’s nothing

This is the best bike I’ve ever owned.

edit: after doing some renewed research, it might be a Mario Confente frame. I guess he partnered with major brands and produced limited edition models. If that is the case, it was a partnership with Bianchi and Campagnolo

    20 ouch. I had a 16 mile commute. It was fine in the morning because it was still cool from the evening and the heat had not taken hold and then it was overall downhill start to end and kinda wind at your back. Everything in the evening coming back was reversed though and woa that was aweful. I would go in and take the bike back on the train which rocked.

      My old commute was 14 miles (7ish miles each way) starting on a big hill and ending on a big hill for a huge U in West Seattle to First Hill. It never failed that the wind would always be in my face. The morning wind almost always went south and in the evening it would be going north again. When it rained, it always seemed to be trying to get in my eyes haha

      My current job is 20 miles away and that’s just too far one way.

        yeah I would not trade my 16 mile mornings for your 7 mile rollercoaster. I had one that was like 3 miles that I would walk at one point but when I biked I would go 2 miles to the lake front making it 7 miles total because 3 was like ridiculously small for biking.
