I said I didn't like IFs the other day, but this one looks pretty hot. Then again I love fat aero wheels too.
Holy smokes!

how can you not like IF's? You should see the paint on those suckers in person... oh, man it's unbelievable. I was actually talking to my LBS that sells them and he was saying that their paint is one of their biggest claims to fame. That and the simple fact that they don't use the same steel for all the tubes in their frames... They may use an UltraFoco downtube with an 831 top tube and so on. Basically they use the best tube for the job regardless of manufacturer. Pretty interesting stuff. Not sure if he's 100% correct on that, but I don't see why he wouldn't be.

I think that Titus is minus the carbon.
Not so sure about those bikes, they're like 8k and I see them in mags like Men's Health and Outside mag.
Unless they're simply a level of bike pimpery I'm unable to comprehend at this time
anyone familiar with Titus?

I'm not sure how old the de Rosa Tango is, but it's hot. I saw one in person at the US PCT Championships (on Saturday at the hotel), and it was absolutely sexy. Everyone's head turned.

I believe that's just a demo frame like has been said... it was referred to as "sans carbon" leading me to believe it's missing the carbon tubes inside that it would normally have.
