I don't get that? Please quantify how a Seven is a "Better Bike" :rolleyes:

It would seem in most cases with bicycles, X versus Y, "Better" is subjective at best....

About 3K on my Dean now. Love it. I wish it would stop raining in Northern California.

Switched to a Specialized Toupe saddle since these pictures.

lol I despise all you posters... :p I hope you all rot somewhere where I can find your bikes.... damn some niiiiice rides here

Freshly built.

Heres some pictures of my custom Thyalcine Arete Ti.

Hot or what!

:lol: You know what is cool, that I never really thought of, is Titanium bikes seem to be tight knit genetically. The unpainted looks really make the Titanium bikes seem more of a family of bike, independent of who the maker is. It's as if its a certain race or culture of bike :lol:

All the bike posted here have some level of elegance not common in a lot of other bikes. They all look so classic, yet sleek and modern, without resorting to gimmicky or strange frame shapes with gaudy paint jobs.

Awesome job Gang! :beer:

Of course, they're all nothing but Thai...:D

:roflmao: :lol:

Man, can you say "Set-Up"? :D

lol +1

:D :D

Wow, great rides guys, keep the pictures coming

my g/f keeps telling me I am "a bike geek :mad:" because I am always looking at bike pictures

ViperZ, I am glad you finished your bike, GREAT looking bike

Here is my Teramo. I like the feel and the ride of this bike.

Here is my heavy 17.5 pound LS.....I say heavy because the frame is 3.5 pounds...for a 55cm.

Thanks Flywolf :)

That makes me crazy too then cause I keep looking as well :lol:

Thats a cool looking Viper Bike :D

I agree, the photo tour has been super. Viper, I think yours is my favorite of the bunch, including my own. I'll give it my blue ribbon. But I'll keep mine because it is a perfect fit. I'd give the red ribbon to Cleave's Bianchi. I've owned and loved celeste bikes in the past so that probably biased me a little. They're all super rides and, like the rest of you, I sure do enjoy riding Ti. Keep the images coming. I'm enjoying it.

Wow FMW, high Accolades to be sure, considering the present company http://www.htguide.com/forum/images/...con_thanku.gif Thanks.

I bet your bike and my bike feel almost Identical in ride and functional performance ;) I can't wait to ride it and have actually been keeping my eye open for nice clear patches of road where I could possibly take it down to ride. However that would just be all wrong for the inaugural ride to be hastily done like that.

:roflmao: must have missed that the first round ;)

Yes, you are right, I would love to build a classic touring style bike or a 80's Italian Racer based on C-Record, complete with Syncro down tube shifters and Delta Brakes :o

Here is a pic of my Merlin Extralight 1996 vintage frame.

What is that strapped to your top tube and Handle bars?

2000 TST Titanium, DA 9 speed, FSA RD400's

It's about time you showed up to the party Blandin :beer:

Looking good with the new Ritchey Stem!

Hi ViperZ. I was traveling on business this week which accounts for my tardy arrival, but as soon as I saw the thread I took a new picture of the TST and got it posted. The Ritchey WCS on my TST is original to the build, although I have flipped it. The new 4-Axis I picked up is gong to be for my Allez Pro.

Ahhh..... :o

Well Looking good with the Mg/Ti's then ;)

I saw the pics you posted of your new Forte Pro MG/TI pedals in your Tuscany thread and Ostuni' retraction as to their worthiness for your bike. I've been riding these pedals on all my bike for some time now and I think you're going to enjoy them especially with the Sidis Dominator's - same combo I use.

I'm sure you are right. And I'm sure you are going to enjoy yours. I ride mine more than all the other bikes combined. Mine has a really nice mix of performance and comfort. It is almost a perfect group ride machine. I can ride it for hours but, at only 17 1/2 lbs. it moves around like a racer.

The Record drivetrain is a treat. I didn't think there would be a noticeable difference but there is, particularly in the speed at which it finishes shifts. It finishes shifting before I can let go of the lever. I don't have any experience with the Eurus wheels but I have a pair Ventos on one bike and they are heavy but excellent. I assume the Eurus are simply light and excellent. I think you did a careful and excellent job matching the parts and I don't see any compromises. Your bike will be about as good as bikes get and that's a very good thing. I wonder if you've weighed it, by the way.

I have had my Litespeed Liege for almost a year and just love it.. Quite a good ebay find.
