I had a Legend Ti, apparently one of the last ones to come out of Saratoga Springs before they went under.

What really stood out was the rear triangle. It had a planted feel that was difficult to describe. No doubt it had something to do with Serotta's windowed dropouts. I never had problems with mine, but then again I'm a lightweight.

My Indy Fab crown jewel in titanium was a completely different ride, more luxo-plush. A Cadillac in comparison to the Legend Ti, which was more of a racer.

So many vintage Ti bikes are tight race bikes, but so nice to ride. Looked for some time for a sport touring ride and found this Seven Muse, I guess C&V as it's 2005. 700c x 32c with fenders, a sporty and plush ride.

So very happy with this ride, a long term keeper. Forgive the modern equipment.


As it is today

Well, I have it pretty much dialed in to my liking now, new waxed KMC chain, nos Ultegra 12-21t 9 speed cassette, nos 3TTT handlebar (narrower at 38cm than the original, and traditional rather than anatomical drops), new bar tape, ‘old style’ pedals with toe straps, Michelin Power TT tires (25mm rear, 23mm front; inflated, the rear measures 26.5mm which is a bit too close for comfort in the front fork, and the front measures 23.0mm, internal width of both rims is 13.5mm), RideNow 36g TPU tubes.

I must say, I am SUPER pleased at how well and fast this bike rides!!

That's my kinda bike!

Thank you very much for your photoes — it looks like I've just got a bike with exactly the same frame. The color of the painting is very hard to capture on photo — mine looks like yours at the photo in a thread «Quattro assi mystery frame» — something between pink and light blue (you've made the photos of the same bike, right?)

Have you figured out the frame manufacturer? And do you know by any chance if Vittoria Rally 25-28 tires fits this frame? I have currently Vittoria Rally 21-28 installed and there is a plenty of space. However the rear tire is broken => I have to replace it anyway.

Nice bike! Back in the late 90’s I bought my CSi and my brother purchased a Legend Ti. We both still ride them regularly and while I like the ride of my CSi, I’m jealous of the lightness of his Legend. It’s a very zippy bike!

If you have a Quattro Assi Titanium, it will definitely allow 28mm tires. I have it currently with 25mm Conti GP 5000s and there is plenty of clearance to go bigger. As set up, with DA 7800 10-spd, 7700 DA crankset, 3TTT cockpit, and Mavic CXP33 rims, it’s 19.1 lbs. I haven’t been able to figure out who actually made the frame but the welds are well executed. Paint is awesome with decals under the clear and the polished titanium rear triangle finishes it off nicely.

Many thanks! I was surprised that the one I've got has exactly the same paint as yours. However, it is smaller size frame. It has 9 speed Campagnolo Chorus. The bike is essentially italian, except for the frame. :-)

By any chance, do you know if decals are still available? And is it possible in theory restore this paint if there are scratches?

Also, regarding the frame manufacturer — it should be quite a large company, since I've read that it is hard to find imperial sized titanium pipes (only metric ones). Therefore only large companies can afford to order a custom pipe set for bike frames. And my Quattro Assi does not have any adapters for the seatpost.

I used to have a few sets of decals, different styles for different frames but I recently went looking for them and just can’t seem to find them. Bill sold everything he had left years ago, so that is not an option.

We you say “adapters for the seatpost” are you talking about the seat tube/post clamp? If so, You can have the one off of my cracked QA Easton Elite frame. It is the same size.

Thanks, though quite unfortunate. Perhaps for restoration purposes it is possible to order somewhere custom decals... Need to research this topic.

Unfortunately I can't make a photo, that reproduces properly the color of the frame of the bike, that you've posted in this thread in the very beginning. The color is so hard to capture. Below are 2 photos of the same exact bike with 2 min difference: first at the bright noon light, second in the shade. And looking close enough it is pink with small light blue particles.
