Had always wanted a GT Edge Ti after riding a prototype back in 1994 that belonged to GT team manager Doug Martin. Picked this one up late winter and loaded it with Ritchey WCS and 6600 Ultgera. Absolutely loving it. Finished weight with pedals is right at 17 lbs.

Already posted in another thread, but of course I need to post here too!
Macalu Cirrus Compact (read Merlin Extralight Compact), built up with 105, Supergo Korso Wheels. The crank is being replaced with an Ultegra double right now. I love the ride but haven't gotten more than 3 miles on it due to my crank needing to be replaced.

I thought Macalu was made by Litespeed??

I have to say, those all weather Titanium Intercepters are an excellent Idea! What could be better as a rain bike than non rusting/non corroding Ti?
That was the main reason my Tuscany was to be my beater rain bike... I may have to down grade it's components and follow through with the original plan...
Or a Blue Ridge
