It's the Lechampion Apex with FSA omega compact bars and the saddle is a Performance bike Forte SL.

I've had it for ~18 months and have been really happy with it.

Ooookay ?

Nice looking rig. How do you like your groupset / hydraulic disc brakes?

I am so jealous, I love the new Salsa disc bikes.

Thanks...I dig the bike very much. I'm loving the wheels as well...

Not hydraulic...Avid BB-7 Road cable actuated... Nevertheless, I love them, stop me on a dime and I'm 205# @ 5'10"...

The groupset is Ultegra 6700... CX70 46t/36t chainset, 12-30 cassette in the rear... I am pondering a wee bit lower gearing due to some short but steep climbs in my area... I have one hill .3 miles long that averages 13% and pitches to 24-29% at certain points, I caught some leaves on it my last climb, rear tire slipped and after my momentum was gone I was cooked...A few other short but nasty ones as well on trails that just happen to be on very convenient routes...

or I should just HTFU...lmao

Yeah. I agree. Nice looking bike.

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=370376Titanium Bianchi: Just picked it up today at a local swap meet. The picture is how it was purchased, probably going to put my Mavic Ksyrium SL's on it tomorrow.

This is my first post so I am sorry that the picture is so small.

Here is my bike. Thinking of putting a little color into it with bar tape but not sure. Kind of like the subdued look.

curious about weight.

with ultegra, what kind of weights are your bikes?

Sasquatch16 04-22-14 09:30 AM

Mine is at 19.5 lbs. Of course my frame is larger than most and I have a triple.

Fox Farm 04-22-14 11:09 AM

My Merlin with Record 10 and Mavic Kysriym (sp) SL wheels at 60 cm is 17.6

WHOOOSSHHH... 04-22-14 06:42 PM

I don't know what mine weighs but it's my favorite ride, and I have and have had some nice carbon ones...

17.5 or 18.5 depending on wheelset I put on. I am a clyde though, could get it down to 16 easily but need that extra heavy stuff to keep me happy.

I have already shown this in a separate thread, but it seems like it belongs here too. My redecorated Everti Falcon:
