Envy! No, a thousand times no! More in line with debauchery, after which nothing else can compare. CF? Sure if you are a necrophile, since the sensations you receive back from a CF is akin to having sex with a corpse.
Aluminum? Sure if you like the feel and sound of running your fingernails across a chalkboard and admire big lumpy disgusting welds.
Steel? Well steel has it's use's, bridges,skyscrapers,anchors.
Anyway I can no longer indulge in Ti and have made a vow of poverty and seek redemption for my ungodly lust for Ti frames.
This used to be the alter I prayed on....

That IF is a great colour combination, orange [white label] and Ti brush finish. I'm a big orange fan myself.

His wife would suck to NOT let him do that. I love nice furniture but I'm sure the piece will be find as those are nice, soft tires. (The bike is worth more than the furniture anyway).

BOB! I would have sworn that you would have kept the Moots. Say it 'aint so Bob, say it 'aint so.

What are you riding? If you say that you prefer the no-name plastic bike that you recently purchased then I no longer believe in anything.

Do we need to hold an intervention for you? Is this a cry for ?

Hey Daryl. I decided to sell the Moots since I wasn't using it the way it should be used and sold it to someone who would really take advantage of its inherit capabilities,besides I needed to pay off some bills. Now that I'm retired I have to be a little more frugal so buying another every month has to stop,maybe every two months?
But life is grand, I've been riding this one lately. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

OK. You are fine. That bike is more than fine. Intervention cancelled!

I have a polished 7700 cranks like the ones on your merkx if you want them. Obviously no charge. You can have an Italian octalink DA bb and an ultegra british bb with them too.

My steel bike is my sweetest ride and I miss it when I am spending to much time on my Ti bike.

I had a birthday yesterday, so now I'm too old to recall if I've already posted this before...and I'm not looking thru 24 pages to find out.

so, here's the latest iteration of the Paramount...white saddle, bar tape, pedals and DA wheels.
