Throw the stick!!!!
Here's an old picture of mine. Since the picture I have gotten rid of the pie sized cassette, added carbon bar and stem, zero sl pedals, record brakes, powertap SL rear wheel or Spinergy Stealth Carbon PBO wheels.

Viper,
Have you had a chance to ride your Lightspeed yet? I'm guessing the weather up in Canada is still bad.

Aw, c'mon Viper. You killed the thread right off the bat! It's possible there's never been a Ti bike as beautiful as that Tuscany of yours. My Firenze with Ultegra, which I love dearly and have had for only 8 months, looks like a cheap Huffy by comparison. I'll post a pic later on, though, anyway.
That Tuscany is truly a piece of art. Will you actually take it out of the studio?

Here's my Moots. These pictures are old and crappy, but you get the idea. Mr Moots now has a Fizik Aliante but other than that he still looks pretty much the same. If I had my way there would be some component swapping but unfortunately I'm currently a full time student. Upgrades will just have to wait until I pass my EIT.

The only titanium I own is a plate holding my clavacle together.
I got that when the carbon fork on my aluminum bike decided to yield explosively.
