This will not be the noodle ti affair that was my 1998 Litespeed Tuscany!

With those beefy stays and the 44mm head tube, this bike should be just as stiff as any of my other bikes, and maybe a tad more comfortable. I have not seen this frame in person yet, it will get shipped out this week, and I also need to get back to the states. He wold not send any teaser pics of the finished frame, killing me with suspense.

Working with Max has been pretty great. I have known him since 2005-6 and always wanted to have him build me a frame. I initially inquired about the Airlandsea model but my heart said Ti all roads.

I am moving into a small apartment so I have to go from 4 bikes to one, and this will be the one. This bike has to do everything for me: Fast road group rides, my scheduled C&O GAP ride, cyclocross racing, and rain bike.

I will post some build picture and finished pictures once I am finished.

What? Where did this come from? I thought you were making room for an incoming #22 Drifter.

This is just to get me through the rest of the fall and early winter until the drifter is done. It will either end up at my place in the Adirondacks or on here in the spring. Just couldn't help myself...

riding in the rain

Dude, that second photo... that's some rain!

I know, that's not really the rain, but it makes me think of Georgia rainstorms when I was a kid... the world really looked just about like that. Couldn't EVEN see houses across the street.

Now riding in *that* rain... that's some fun! I miss rain rides like that.

Dream bike! Is the routing for di2 internal or external ?
