That crank set looks medieval.

Just a note that the Zeus 2000 components use a lot of titanium - bottom bracket is almost all titanium, pedal spindles and cages, hub axles, derailleur pivot bolts, etc. Freewheel is aluminum alloy.

Its probably best this thing is too big for me, or else I'd be tempted to do something stupid. Beautiful! Just out of curiosity, what does this thing weight?

IIRC the titanox bits are:
two main bolts for rear mech
bottom bracket spindle
crank fixing bolts
hub axles
pedal spindles

I've reduced the price a bit due to issues I found during a final tuneup on this bike. The left side down tube decal has a few more scratches than I remembered. I am including a replacement down tube decal should you choose to replace it. I would not replace it myself. The freewheel and chainrings have a little wear. The rear wheel has a bit of a hop. I tried to true it out but do not want to push the old rim too hard. A more professional wheel mechanic might be able to do better. I would say it is about 2mm. The front wheel has a very small hop, nothing I would normally note, maybe a mm.
New price $1750 including downtube decal.
Pictures. Final one you need to click on to see video on Flickr trying to show wheel hop.
