Very nice! Please post your build progress 
You gotta stretch it out, like how LowCel does it.

i'm pretty excited myself. this frame is a Legend Ti, which has to be one of the best ti frames ever made. i repeat: triple butted

never!
the ride is actually quite similar to the Merlin. i got such a good deal on this frame that i just had to go for it, i simply love titanium.
i have to spend a little more time with it to really evaluate the subtleties of the ride differences i might notice. i'll try and keep this updated with my impressions.
