Thats one hell of a gorgeous training bike!!! Must post better and brighter pictures, so we can see more of that sexy beast!

Here's some better pics. The frame is from the 'quill days', but wanting a new fork I managed to
dig up some real slim spacers. The with of steerer + spacers are sub 1-1/8"
The weight is also quite decent @ 16.4lbs (7.44kg)...That's just a bonus, not a quality....

Lectron, that ride is nice man!!

Looks nice with a solid weight, but I have to say it looks like you could have gone up at least one size.

This is an old bike with new components. The frame is from the days of quill stem/threaded bearing
that added quite a bit of handlebar height. The measurements/angles that matters (and not just looks) are spot on

The finished bike. Unfortunately, I couldn't take it to Palomar yesterday but I guess I will have to make the most out of tomorrow before I fly back to the snow.

I'm using 2011 Record shifters, 2010 Record Brakes, and a Chorus Cassette. I still need to dial in the FD a bit but I guess I will do that after I fly back to NYC.

I just got back from a 50-ish mile ride looping from Santiago Canyon then around PCH along to coast in Orange County and the bike is just so sweet! I'm not even sure how long the ride was or how slow I was going because I decided not to put a computer on the bike.

I'm not sure if it's the frame geometry or the fork or a combination of both but the bike is just super stable. Plus, it helps that the bike was fitted around me and not the other way around. I think I would be able to descend the Stelvio with no hands, although I probably won't try it next time I'm out there.

Your bike is going to be ridiculously agile, being 500+ grams lighter than mine--a road hog on steroids!

could not resist crabon wheels. i hear titanium rides like steel and aluminum, gotta sell this thing and get a frame made of moon rocks.

Currently has headset, fork, BB, and seat post installed. Don't have time to finish the build.

Awesome!...Need matching seatbag though ;)

2011 Lynskey Cooper. 4G iphone camera could use more pixels.

Nice Cooper. What size frame is that, and what are your dimensions? Does it fit you well? Also, is that the hand brushed finish?

It's a medium brushed finish with a 90mm stem. 5'7" with a 30" inseam. Fits perfectly!

I have 2 TiSport bikes a road bike and a soft tail with no pivot in the back but a 1.5" rear shock. Both made about 200 miles East of where I live.

(I still have to remove the redline from the stem; this was the only 3T stem available in the correct size)
