New custom Davidson, just got it yesterday. It has been pressed into service as a commuter due to the untimely death of my 35 yr. old Raleigh International in a bike-car accident last week. The second pic is from my first ride on the new bike. I'm diggin' it.:thumb:

soulbike, does that microshift gruppo have any ceramics? It looks very similat to the new Sun Race gruppo, is it a similar design?

bigtea 11-17-08 08:54 AM

white saddles are for those who don't leave skid marks.

They are all rebranded Microshift gear.

Nice bike but why didn't you order one with a longer head tube?

soulbike 11-17-08 06:38 PM

Microshift makes shifters and derailleurs. We package it into a complete groupset with parts from other makers. If we gave the groupset the name of all the manufacturers of each part.... it will be a really long name, which is why we name it SOUL/ Microshift instead. I'm not familiar with Sun Race's offering.

There are no ceramics in this groupset. but you can upgrade the bearings in the pulleys and BB to ceramics. Not sure why you would but that would be a whole separate debate.

The picture is my personal bike, I try very hard not to post things up that can be deemed as free and blatant self promotion, but ti frames are getting rare nowadays and I'm just trying to keep the interest going as it is a fantastic material for a bicycle frame.

markwebb 11-17-08 08:59 PM

Are Ti frames getting rare? Litespeed, Merlin, Serotta have large Ti offerings. IF has Ti, too. Seven, too. Getting more rare?

Juklano 11-17-08 10:11 PM

I found this on the Soul website. lol!

Sweet finish on the Ouzo, was that a factory job?

I built this 08 Ghisallo recently with a 3T Funda fork, 08 Campy Record, and Easton Ascent II wheels.

Turn down the unsharp mask on the pics - it's hurting my eyes :)

Anyway - cool bike.

Very nice... so, how ridiculously light is it?

ccdisce 11-21-08 03:31 AM

marketwebb, Thanks.
It was a clear cool afternoon and all the leaves were down that oak tree in the back yard.
