Is it an illusion, or is your steerer tube actually longer than the fork blades?

The group must love it when you hit the front of the paceline! :)

Nice Zinn. A buddy of mine rides a custom steel Zinn. It's like a size 75.

Holy headtube.

Yep illusion - although it is big. Headtube is 281mm. Although the Alpha Q Z-pro fork comes with a beefed up 450mm carbon steerer! So my one's had plenty cut off it.

And yes I'm a bit of a wind shadow :)

Here's a few more photos.

Sorry - hopefully you can see them now.

Sass not seeing the last set^^

Wow, there are some great looking bikes in this thread.

I am looking into a new bike. Looks like there are a lot of experts here.

What are some of the advantages of Ti over higher end carbon frames?

Nice.... welcome to the big headtube club!
Here is mine after I got it last year - hadnt cut the steerer tube down yet...

Dang..your right....is this better?

Awesome....
The scary part is I am only 5' 11" - so my top tube is compressed a bit...its a 54cm ( I usually ride a 58)
But my back feels great riding...and yes..everyone loves to draft me!

Any idea what yours weighs?

Yes. Yes it is.

Habanero Custom
 

I don't think the picture does it justice, but here is my new custom build. It is 18 pounds even, has a complete ultegra 6700 group. The only compromise is the 30 degree stem, the builder said I need it in order to use a standard 300mm fork steerer (the fork is all carbon Ritchey WCS).

Due to long legs and short torso, this has a 63 cm ST and a 56 cm TT.

I'm not sure if I posted yet, but here is my custom DEAN...

I bet your bicycle would fit me perfectly. But I would have gone with a taller fork steerer and a shallower stem angle. Maybe when my son finishes medical school I can consider such a thing. Enjoy it!

The welds on that Zinn are straight butter baby.

I know they would be pleased to build you a made-to-measure Ti frame for $1295, which is a very reasonable price. Something to consider.

what are the black parts on the frame?

Congrats..... I love my Habanero!
