The Titan is the road warrior and an ongoing work in progress ( I'm not completely happy with the fork and cockpit).

These bikes ride VERY differently but both are vastly superior to the aluminum and composite bikes that they have replaced. 25 years and 25 pounds ago I probably would have expressed a different opinion but here and now, given the way I ride today, they are just perfect!!!
That white pinarello is quite possibly the most beautiful bike I've ever seen. I currently ride both a 05 Cannondale CAAD7 (Full 7800 DA) and an 83 Merckx Track bike. I love both my bikes, but I think I might be starting to love vintage bikes more than new ones...

Guess I'll have to spend more of my bike forums times in the CV forum.
