The most important thing you need for fun riding is the getting the right attitude. The most important race is the human race and the goal of life is not to make everything end sooner. There will always be riders out there who can go faster than you and others who will benefit when you slow down a say a word of encouragement. I don't disagree with any of the above. It's all very noble but the bottom line is that he wants to keep up with his friends on fast one trick ponies and, I agree, Homer is not the bike for that. I love my Homer but I use him when I want to meander down a country lane at a comfortable pace. When I ride "fast" club 50 milers or centuries I use my Rambouillet or Specialized Roubaix. I agree with the suggestion someone had made yesterday. I would order the new Roadeo and have two sets of tires available for fast or off road rides. The Roadeo looks like it's going to be light and therefore fast, steel and thus comfortable, certainly beautiful, and capable of using tires that can handle the dirt. I've just recently gone over to the new Challenge tires (27 mm) and, my god, they are wonderful. They're very fast and super comfortable. I like them much better than the Grand Bois. How they would handle off road I don't know.
