Thanks! Yes it is True Temper Ox Platinum steel tubing. I've bought (then sold) a number of bikes ('07 Litespeed Siena, Giant TCR, Look 555, 566, Jamis Aurora Elite, Lemond Poprad, Cervelo R3, Lemond Buenos Aires spine bike, Gunnar Crosshairs...) The Sarthe is the benchmark for which I judge other bikes and it wins out every time.. so it was deserving of the upgraded components. This bike (more so than other steel bikes I have owned) has me sold on steel being real!

IMO you might want to swap your speed sensor to the front of the fork for if something hits it inward it could bind between the fork legs and take out a couple spokes or the whole wheel.

Just upgraded my carbon bike to Force, a Selle Italia Carbonio Flow SL Saddle, Duro Hypersonic tires and White Micro/Lizard Tape.

On the contrary, all it takes is a little bit of Orange cleaner on a rag and the hoods look brand new with a few swipes. I've cleaned grimy sweat, dirt and chain grease smudges off with zero effort.
