I should have the fork by Wednesday and hopefully will have it built by the weekend. It's not exactly as it was listed on eBay so I'm having to pick up a few more parts than I expected. I have a Thompson seatpost on order with the fork and I have to get a shorter stem because the frame was listed as 54 and in reality it's a 56. But, I talked with my fitting guy and I think we can make it work with a 1cm shorter stem and some short reach bars.

The triangulated down tube is pretty cool and it looks like it will be plenty stiff while retaining that ti ride. I'm stoked to get it out for a long ride. This is my first foray into the wonderful world of ti.

Cheers!
