Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New custom Davidson, just got it yesterday. It has been pressed into service as a commuter due to the untimely death of my 35 yr. old Raleigh International in a bike-car accident last week. The second pic is from my first ride on the new bike. I'm diggin' it.

white saddles are for those who don't leave skid marks.

Nice bike but why didn't you order one with a longer head tube?

Microshift makes shifters and derailleurs. We package it into a complete groupset with parts from other makers. If we gave the groupset the name of all the manufacturers of each part.... it will be a really long name, which is why we name it SOUL/ Microshift instead. I'm not familiar with Sun Race's offering.

There are no ceramics in this groupset. but you can upgrade the bearings in the pulleys and BB to ceramics. Not sure why you would but that would be a whole separate debate.

The picture is my personal bike, I try very hard not to post things up that can be deemed as free and blatant self promotion, but ti frames are getting rare nowadays and I'm just trying to keep the interest going as it is a fantastic material for a bicycle frame.

Are Ti frames getting rare? Litespeed, Merlin, Serotta have large Ti offerings. IF has Ti, too. Seven, too. Getting more rare?

Turn down the unsharp mask on the pics - it's hurting my eyes

Anyway - cool bike.
