I'm with Angry, love that Bixxis. I'm such a sucker for panels. Bike is perfect. The above mentioned scandalous Serotta started out as mine. I had it painted this way by Matt Assenmacher years ago. Glad the folks here think highly of it. Kinda wish I had kept it!!

(after Norte-Dave’s Bishop, of course). It’s the definition of elegance and balance.

All of the lines are harmonious and make a seamless narrative. The setback seatpost plays well together with the stem. The TT slope (if there is any) is subtle enough to avoid detection. Etched and understated logos. Although I’ve never been a fan of the tapered head tube, it works to perfection here. And tan wall tires are the perfect choice for raw Ti (which, in my estimation, is how Ti should be presented).

Lastly, you’ve forged a relationship with the frame builder, which is evident in the construction of the bike. It looks sleek and fast, much like its rider.

Now all that remains if for me to ship you some of my stealth black water bottles so you can ditch the green ones.

Thanks for not commenting on my poorly aligned valve stems.

The Praxis cranks are the best looking cranks in the industry. Sorry Campy. All my bikes have them, except for my gravel bike, which was specced for the butt-ugly GRX cranks.

Thanks! I’m a big Honda fan, so I went with Championship White from their R cars!
