Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Nice bike.

When I was over in Eastern Europe last year, almost every bike shop I visited carried Author bikes.
I beleive the company is based in the Czech Republic. Where is the frame manufactured? Czech? Taiwan?
