I just love that my Titanium Litespeed hasn't got one paint scratch even after 18 years!

And it's not whippy, either. One of my best-descending bikes, frame and original crabon fork perform well. One of my greatest finds at Goodwill, where they apparently failed to look at the head badge since it was devoid of it's decals(?), so priced it low.

Previous owner was apparently big enough that it is now starting to suffer a failed DT spoke now and then on it's uniformly-tensioned original wheelset, but no cracks to date.

Mine's a 2005 FWIW, thankfully made just after they stopped with the crabon seatstay idea.
