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.


it's visually my kind of 'pleasing', looks my size, I like lower profile wheels...
that it's Ti makes even more interesting - I have ridden Ti, going all the way back to Teledyne, but never really ever had one of the newer frames for any length of time.
Recent rides have been measured in 'miles', not days, much less months, years...
but very nice bike...
Ride On
