I really love my 'watershed' leather tape I bought here. Its waterproof.. saddles are awesome as well if you were wondering.

Veeerrrryyy nice.

Interesting wall paint as well - you live with mom, or work for Pottery Barn?

Thanks JR! I'm close to that range... I'm 5'11, 32" inseam. In bike pictures, I always like to know bike size relative to the rider for a frame of reference. It gives me an idea how a bike may look set up to my dimensions.


Classic, nice to see your Ti entry!

Nice additions and updates All! :beer:

It's humid (or more accurately 'damp') here in the UK so I need to proofide the tape once every 500 miles or so, it gets lighter when it's drying out a little.
I did 5 hours in the Yorkshire Dales on Friday, not a cloud in the sky and some nice 20% climbs, the tape soaked up the sweat from my hands and stayed grippy. I've put some Fizik gel pads underneath so it's like piloting a Chesterfield chair!
It's the most difficult tape I've ever fitted though - but worth it.

beautiful seatpost.. I actually ended up losing my Thomson and going with an Eriksen seatpost.. Now I just need the matching Chris King headset.. or do I buy the ridiculously expensive King Ti headset?

here is my last update before and after:
cleaned the chain, put a Brooks on and added the new decals minus the red/blue:

the saddle is a chopped B17. I bought a plain B17 and cut the sides my self. Once I broke the saddle in (around 300 miles) I dont know how I rode without it.

Mine is linked through my signature below (i.e., "My Rides" - the one of the left ;) )

The more I ride my Ti bike, the more I know it's the perfect all around road bike for me.

This is from todays 100km ride out to Black Strap/Dundurn for some Lemon Pie :)

I decided to use a tire bag, seeing as the last washboard road ride was causing my spare tire and inflater to vibrate and jarr loose. At one time it popped right off and was laying on the road :lol:

Know the year? I am awaiting delivery on an '07 Sienna. It has a much narrower downtube, and titanium chain stays.

And I implore you ViperZ, why take off the stickers?

Humm, I suspect a 04 -05....

Not sure about the stickers.... We all have our reasons I suppose :)

I like those 07 Siennas, congrats!

I_bRAD 09-22-07 07:55 PM

It's an '04 Siena. The head tube was replaced with a traditional one instead of the integrated though. Ti seatstays would be nice... but that's what it was in '04! When I have the cash I'd like to replace the fork with a nice ti one...

The downtube is only thick in profile, it's ovalized and about 1" across. I've heard they had trouble with that design though 'cause the sharp corner at the front lower of the tube was causing a "can opener" effect on the head tube.
