Hows it going everyone, new guy that just joined the boards to gain some insight, and just to checkout whats going on in the world of other cyclists.

Here is my current road bike. Bike has been owned since new, but sat for awhile while another bike took up roll as the main ride until the merlin was revamped. She was outfitted with all up-to-date gear. Just got refreshed with a new original decal set.

Thanks. They're customs - Kinlin XR270 (front) / 300 (back), Alchemy Elf/Orc hubs, 24/28h, CX-rays. They came in at 1460g. They were built by Ron Ruff at White Mtn Wheels. Mainly I wanted something durable yet as light as possible given my weight of around 200 lb, and something that looked good too. They haven't made me any faster, but I like them so far and they've stayed true for a few hundred miles over some pretty brutal roads.

HI,
Can you list the components on your frame?
Thanks

whoa, this looks sick. specs?

wow, thats a pretty amazing build. thanks for the links.

It's running:
* Mostly early-generation 10-speed Campy Record carbon (Dura-ace 7700 brakes)
* 12-25 cassette
* FSA Carbon Team Issue compact crank - 46/36
* Neuvation R28SL3 wheelset
* Specialized 143 saddle
* Thompson Elite seatpost
* Some random drops on some random stem...

Lemond Victoire Titanium Road Bike
 

Just picked up a 2003 Lemond Victoire Titanium this week off of CL. It's a one owner with less then 300 miles. The Lemond has Shimano Ultegra, Bontrager Race Lite wheels and Shimano's Flight Deck, it's great to know what gear your in!

Love the flashy paint and the shiny parts on the Lemond!

Beautiful bike, nice buy. They don't come around too often for sale.

Nice dude! he just fitted me!

That's beautiful.

What is with all the Zero Offset seat posts on these Ti bikes?

I looked at the Thomson seat post and they are reall nice pieces.

It's very nice. Where can I get that seat post?

Oh my! That's just beautiful. I will have to save my pennies for a couple of months but dayum! I like!

I'm not sure my Motobecane deserves something this beautiful!

This is only my second Ti bike, the first one was maybe sixteen years ago or so....got it for an absolute steal of a deal too!

Oh great! LOL! That just looks so good!

I just bought a Ritchey Pro Carbon post and it's in transit. May have to sell on Ebay! LOL!
