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

First, I love this bike. I've put all SRAM Red 10 sp mechanical on it. I also put Mavic Ksyrium Elite USTs (tubeless) on it. Also a Selle San Marcos saddle. It's down to 17 lb 10 oz. It's a great bike and is comfortable and quick. Because of it's geometry some say it's a bit "nervous." It's like driving a sports car as compared to a BMW 3 series. I happen to like it's quick steering.

I was feeling the asking price might be high, its hard to find others to compare to. The asking price is $1600

Aside from the fact that I will never sell mine, if I did, it would be significantly more than that. But, that's just me and how I feel about mine. What components does it have?

Is the Indytriumph name connected to Triumph motorcycles? I ask because after 25 years of various Ducatis I bought a Triumph last Saturday.

I have put over 300,000 miles on Triumphs. They are my other two wheel passions

Mine is a 2023 Street Triple RS in black. It goes in for it's break-in service next week. So, far I'm loving it.
