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

The green is actually intentional. The rest isn't. We have that green in our team kit and it was green or purple at the shop where I got the chain.... I went green.

So the shop you go to carries green and Purple multispeed chains, but not unpainted ones? That is interesting.

I didn't bother to check. I saw purple and green on the wall.

So really. You wanted green and they had it in stock. Does look cool though. That was one of my favorite Giant Frames ever/a guy from the group rides one.

Some updated pics of my 2010 Lynskey Cooper with Force and 2011 Ksyrium SL. These will be my training wheels, as Sean from Soul is developing some super secret Al/Carbon wheels that I'm waiting for

Beautiful job Steve. One of my favorite Ti's to date on BF. Extremely clean looking and I bet it is as fast as it is shiny.

+1 Agreed. Great looking bike; nice Ti build. Looks new. How do you manage to keep it so pristine. The wheelset is purdy too. Much new than my Mavics. Curious to know how much your bike weighs and how do you like your Force components.

This was right after a full detail on it. It's amazing how well Ti stays looking brand new.

I love for Force stuff. i have Rival on my other bike and honestly you cant tell the difference when riding. Force is just a bit lighter and a bit more bling with the carbon

thanks for the comments everyone
