On the other hand, that S2 is nice, but it's no Ibis Titanium Road. I've been riding the Ibis quite a bit over the past couple of weeks, and that 15 year old bike continues to impress. Ti smoothess, no mushiness, and it disappears under you on the climbs. And I don't think I can ever kill that frame. It really impressed on the Nyack Ride last week. Good race bike. Hadn't ridden it in a race or on a competitive ride in a long time. It felt great.

But not all Ti frames are created equal. This Ibis Ti Road may be about the best Ti road frame ever built, and I am not exaggerating with that praise. The reviewers at the time all seemed to agree with that. It's a great bicycle. It was very pricey at the time ($3K for the frame alone in 1995), I bought it less than a year old used and really stole it from this guy who advertised it in the back of Velonews. I only paid $1500 at the time built up with D.A. 8 speed an Mavic Open Pros. Had it refinished five years ago, refitted it with D.A. 7800, all new components/fork/wheels.

I quit watching the idiot box about a year ago. The only shows I ever watch are "Top Gear", "TDF" and I did watch this last season of "Entourage". Which was a huge disappointment. I can't believe idiots still support such a poor product, but then again Huffy is still in business.

No it was my FB profile pic during the whole "swine flu" hoax, when they were talking of making it mandatory. The caption was something like "you bring your syringe, and I'll bring my rifle, and we will see who makes a bigger hole." Then the hoax died out, and I was left with a pic of me with a gun, and a gas mask, and it seemed appropriate while offering help for my comrades. BTW nothing I do is appropriate, so please don't try to dissect my definition of the word.
