Litespeed Archon on Bonktown
For anyone looking for a titanium bike:
Litespeed Archon - $3999.99
It's still quite a bit of cash, but its a lot cheaper than other online prices. Really nice looking bike IMO. Only negative is that it comes with DA7800 (not that this is bad, but some people might want the latest stuff).
Edit: If anyone is actually considering this, notice that the picture conflicts with the description on the wheelset. Pic: DV3K C, Description: Solitude. - Quite a difference.

Totally misleading. It says the bike comes with Reynolds Solitudes, while the picture shows some $2K+ DV3KC's.
Let me find that 4 grand I have sitting under my couch so I can get:
$1,600 - 2009 Cannondale Super Six
https://www.nytro.com/products2.cfm/B...Road-Framesets
$1564 - Dura-Ace 7900 Groupset
https://www.bikebuster.com/details/5...0¤cy=usd
$706 - Dura-Ace CL Clincher 7850
https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=25007
Extras - handlebars, seatpost, saddle, tires, tubes.

-nytro doesn't deliver that frame, you gotta get someone to buy it for you & then ship it
-cannondale is nice & all, and i love my six13, but titanium is real
on the otherhand, that deal was apparently so good that the bike is sold out; on bonktown's sister site realcyclist, the frame alone is going for $3999

yeah, that's why i bought the similar parallel max on sierratradingpost. i think the grey lenses on the redline are polarized (as indicated by the lens choices), you could always email someone at bonktown & ask. from what i heard, their return policy is pretty good, too.
