that's such a nice bike. And your picture reminds me, I should use some reflective tape.

On a recent ride, it was pointed out that ALL the bikes were titanium. That's Da Vinci tandem on the left, a Lynskey GR-250 on the right, I believe 2nd from left is a Seven, think the second from right is a Merlin- but it was 4 different brands.

I haven't seen a Ti bike with an oxidized finish in a long time. I think Teledyne ruined it for everyone.

I hadn't heard of oxidizing Ti before and had to look it up. Who's doing frames with that treatment?

the bike on the right sure looks like it is oxidized, it's about the right color. But I don't know what brand it is.

That probably is their matte sattin finish. I think that is their base finish.
