2006/7 Giant Trance. The parts were picked by our regional Giant rep and put on a spare Trance 3 frame.
RockShox Recon fork (gonna change that)
Shimano Deore/LX RapidFire groupset
RaceFace cranks
EA50 finishing group
Hayes So1e hydraulics
Giant Maestro 4.2 inches of rear travel
In all, I need a shorter stem (I alread flipped and moved down), chopped bars, change the pedals out, and a new fork like a Reba.

just put together a Motobecame Le Champion Ti
feels nice, i need to adjust the rear caliper.
the pics on the BD site almost make the tubes look round but they top top tube and the big main tube are triangular Ti tubes. The thing is a beauty.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Oh, really.. hmm.. you're making it difficult for me to not consider BD for a titanium bike..

Bought it used bone stock and added a set of bottle cages, chain, new pair of Schwalbe tires and tubes, Selle seat, bar tape and the rest is all carbon fiber updates.... Stem, spacers, seatpost clamp and bars.
This winter she's gonna get a black wheelset and I might actually get a some road shoes and pedals...
I'm currently using some Time atac mtb pedals and my mountain bike shoes....
If I can sneak it past the wife I might try to throw on a FSA carbon crankset...

Finally took some photos to post today!
She's not cleaned up for the shoot, but that's ok by me.
She's a 1999 Kona Kapu with full Ultegra components. She means a lot to me and has character.

Don't mince words
Nice hardwood floors.
Say, are those cards in your spokes?
That brings back memories.

2008 Fuji Newest 2.0. Since I haven't ridden for almost 20 years, I thought this bike was good to get me back into riding. Plan on upgrading in a few years. I rode almost 60 miles this past week, and I love it so far.

Ditto on the Fuji Newest 2.0
I bought it 2 1/2 months ago after riding a mtb for 13 years. Riding for exercise and enjoyment of the outdoors. Having a great time with it.
