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

Avid Shorty 6 are cantilevers, so clearly not on that beautiful Everti.

Correct you are (my mistake), they are Shimano Discs as called out by Mr bubbles

But you have to make sure that it is a Ti seatpost! Bold Precision is prefered.

Your Agilis is very nice... My mistake, it is the Merlin Magia that I was thinking of that I dearly lusted after...


This is Mantis' Magia that I have lusted after.. I almost had one like it (deal fell through)

Cool another Ti with Topolino's. I "only" weigh 170 or so and I love them. Too bad everyone can't try them out.

Hi, I've been lurking on the forum here for a while and just found this thread. It seemed to me that this thread could use a little historical perspective, and really can't be complete without at least one pic of the bike that started it all over 30 years ago. So here's a little old school Ti, at least 30K miles and the frame still looks as good as it did the day I bought it.
