Now there's something I haven't seen before. (Oh, how the mighty have fallen).

Just sold on ebay, hopefully to someone who will give this bike a little more respect.

I'm working on my first Ti bike - 1999 Litespeed Blade.

I am doing a minimalist build. Eight speed. No front derailleur. Suntour Superbe 165 single ring cranks. Pedals will be speedplays, (though I like the look of the egg beaters). I am waiting for a modern stem to come in the mail. 20+ stems and all quills...seat is Flite titanium and post is litespeed titanium, RD Campy Record ti, BB Edco w/titanium spindle. Theme is.... yep, Titanium.

So i bought a set of zipp 400 wheels with titanium spokes off ebay... but they weren't. Didn't pass the magnet test. Ah the joys of eBay. Then i won a pair of 650c shamal wheels off ebay. Not the ti ones, i knew, but they weren't 650c either..it's a work in progress.
I'm an old roadie. Going to need a lot of help dialing in best aero position. ( I'm old and slow, so it's for fun and personal satisfaction, not competition.
