New Bike Day!!! WOOT. Ti Warbird....
Yeah Baby...
Bike is STIFF. Takes off like a ROCKET. Love it...
I slapped a Selle Italia C2 on it already... For pedals I have Speedplay Drillium platforms on it, I ordered some Time clipless as well. Frankly, I love the Drilliums, they stick to your feet, great just horsing around town pedals. They weigh a ton...but, who cares!!!:

going with iclics or atacs for the clipless? i love atacs, have no real need for road pedals anymore. but i will say, those drilliums look a little silly... like a winch on a porsche boxster.

It's a sublime irony....lmao. All kidding aside though, the grip is superb on those platforms.

Sweet! Looks like a great all round rider. I love my Salsa Chili for commuting, cross and general riding. The Warbird looks like a great ride especially with the disc brakes and cushy Ti ride. The compact crank is fine for the trail hills. Congrats.

Thanks... 46x11 is plenty of top end... Sugino makes an interesting crank the OX801D... They call it the Compact+ 46t and 30t chainrings... Very low Q factor. Quite the wide range of gearing there and I know of a few hills where that just may be the ticket...
