I ride back there sometimes. Nice way to link up seneca and riverbend into a long ride with some great falls hills.

Had been riding a Salsa Warbird Ti until this year (which was a great bike), but took delivery of a nice bike from Boston in March. Been riding the 650b wheels for serious gravel (e.g. Hilly Billy Roubaix) and 700c carbon rims for more civilized dirt roads.

Way back - stuck with a couple of friends to try and help pull for them, but I'm not in contention for anything but the lantern rouge anyway

Would love to hit less than 6h, but last year was my best at ~6.5h.

Thx! It was a long year to wait for it, but definitely worth it. They're a great team to work with and the finishes they can achieve are just incredible.

Rob pal, it's a Charge Plug 5. I am not familiar with the brand, accidentally found it on local Craigslist yesterday, couldn't resist, got it for a really good price, we are talking less than $1k for the entire bike, titanium, fit up to 700x42 tires, running SRAM 1x, hydro and all. Apparently, made in Taiwan. The welds are clean and look every bit as good as the big names. Took it for a test ride on the local trail yesterday, initial impressions very favorable. Lifetime bike.

I’ve seen the charge plug steel bikes and didn’t know they did ti. I like the monostay and the fender mounts. Looks like a well thought out bike.
