It's only a little over 7 years old. Bought it for myself as a reward for paying off my mortgage. Took the photo when I arrived home after riding it 12 miles from the builder's shop. (It's ceramic-coated titanium in case you don't realize that.)
I actually haven't been riding it all that much the last few years due to some physical issues and because my pendulum has swung back more towards loading touring. The one time I took it out this year I ran over something and destroyed the rear tire after fewer than 6 miles. I am expecting new ones any day now. After they are mounted (they're tubeless) and this heat wave ends I will take it for a ride.
Last long ride for it was 75 miles to Brooklyn. Excuse the expression. I was chewing on a slightly firm Cliff Bar.
