I presented those list of traits to Kent Eriksen and got, what is for me, THE PERFECT BIKE.
PICS - or it didn't happen

I recently listened to The Pull podcast with Patrick Brady interviewing Carl Strong.

If I were going to have a Ti bike built, I certainly wouldn't overlook Carl. He seems to have a great feel for working with customers and I was impressed by his track record and knowledge as well. Good website too.

The Eriksen w/climbing wheels and bad lighting by poor photographer.

I've been thrilled with my Gängl Custom titanium for quite a while.

Seen lots of other nice ti bikes but this one is perfect and always gets lots of attention on group rides.

I just recently built her up with Record 12...LOVE IT!!!

Yowza! How was the build difficulty on the R12? Any different?

No problem at all! Super easy!
My only 'issue' was with the Deda Superlegero bars... the cable channel under the bar would force a kink in the cable. I just routed the cables under and slightly forward outside the enclosed channel.

The shifting is great, fast and very precise...the front shifts are perfect and super quick.
