On the GT Edge Ti

Has anyone ever seen or owned the most recent Edge Ti?
Frame and fork seem to be pretty decent, workmanship wise.
I mean, i would own an Edge 1998 or a Look kg ti, but they don't come up very often...
And with the prices on Jenson, it really is VERY tempting.

I always thought that bike was cool. I'm too tall for the largest size but that price is very tempting if it fits.

This build is just so droolworthy, especially with just a wheelset away from the stock build.

I calculated the reach and stack for the XL if it helps anyone. 398mm and 581mm respectively. Not sure why they couldn't be bothered to calculate and add to the geo table. 393mm and 563mm for the L.

From what i was calculating, i was getting 410mm reach for the large
Glad you reassure me, as 410mm reach was pretty scary
I sill have much to learn in bike geo calculations...

I used this. I couldn't tell you how accurate those numbers are, but they would seem to be in line with the other given measurements.

That is a beautiful frame. I wonder if GT is building these or getting them from another fabricator.

Check out this older model. I love it!

From Road Bike Action review November 12, 2013: "...As GT product manager Patrick Kaye tells the story, GT specifically chose a small production frame shop in Taiwan to best control the build process necessary to reflect the bike’s ‘heritage’ status. .."
