Two Terrific Tuesday Ti Bikes~

The first lithe vixen is an Ibis Ti Road that I built for my girlfriend. It was assembled primarily out of selfishness (not selflessness) so I can get my jollies watching the fantastic bike and her atop it during rides . It's a DA 7800 build save Ultegra 12-30 and 9000 compact:



I'm not wild about the Ksyriums on the Ibis as the graphics are a bit loud. Def on the lookout for a wheelset that better matches the craft of this bike. Ideas?

Second is a Potts that Steve made for me 2 yrs ago:



It's built like a tank and features a Record 10 compact/ 13-29 drivetrain. Here too I question the spirit of Ksyriums but the Exalith brake surface has me hooked. Braking performance is so good and appreciated w my 190# mass + local hills.

The roads where we live are so bad. I fitted 28 mm Contis to the Potts this winter and there's no going back.

Thanks - glad you like it! Steve built this with 72 mm BB drop (looks like more in the pic, doesn't it) and 73 deg HT & ST angle.

Interesting, uh, composition. Tiny bike or huge garage door?
