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.

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.

I'd really like to see some pictures of the rear dropouts on Lynskey, Moots, et al., titanium frames. Thanks in advance...

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!
