It's OK for the Puch and Trek. Not for Mo's bike.
Hey Mo - how long is your commute and do you ride in the winter?

I assume it was custom. Why didn't you make the HT taller?

Just to up the ti bikes in here so far, my new Lynskey. When they have their clearance sales, prices become very affordable.

It's even harder with the skinwall tires since there's a very distinctive visual reference so close.

Two seconds on or off, which includes time to find the right spot to touch it without getting dirty.

My favorite for carbon is the Arundel Mandible. My favorite for good looking cheap is the Tacx Tao. It's discontinued, but I found a two pack for the Cinelli.

I know that this is the Ti thread now and I've already violated the rules by posting some steel, but these all remind me of the bike I never should have sold.
I seriously think about this thing a few times a month.
2008 GT GTR Type CX. The sexiest aluminum frame I've ever seen in the flesh. Thinking how it would look with a more modern groupset just hurts
I've looked through my old emails and found the guy that I sold it to, but we never exchanged numbers, just talked through the Craigslist email system. I've seriously thought about trying to track him down and buy at least the frameset back from him.

What bar shape do you prefer or do you have a preferred bar? Great opportunity for matching stem/post/bars. Deda, Enve (will match fork), 3T.

I'm drooling over Whyfi's and Slowgo's Cervelos, and now you guys are pushing titanium. I just got this email from Ribble who have a new ti model. Looks very interesting and pretty reasonable!
