I'd like to publicly thank the guy on the Ti Seven tri bike, who pulled a bunch of us from mile 75 to mile 80 on yesterday's century. He was fast. And he said he was in his mid-50s. About 15 years younger than Pcad.
It had to be the Ti.
I can only aspire.

The analogy was terrible. It needed no expounding.

Pcad likes his mountain version (Moto Fly Ti). I just bought a Moto Immortal (carbon) and love it. Surely the Ti road offerings are the same story, namely awesome value, "generic" frame, and hate BD/love BD drama...
My experience has been a good one.

[QUOTE=powpow;6798239]Ti rules. I have about 1500 miles on my newish Lynskey, and so far it has exceeded all of my expectations. Lifetime warranty, American made.

Thanks Ron. It's a R120 Houseblend (stock) frame, size Medium. I couldn't afford custom (hence the spacers), and got a good deal on the frame. I purchased the frame directly from Lynskey, and they were a pleasure to deal with throughout the process.

The Easton wheels have to go pp. You need Ksyrium clinchers and Zipp Tubies. Get back to us with photos once you've installed them. That Lynskey bike is the utter, complete, friggin SCHWAG.

Oh scuzzo, you are in clear violation of BF guidelines for conduct. You should be ashamed of yourself, in addition to being mortified for actually defending Easton wheels on a Lynskey, and your embarrassing spelling error to boot. Is there no civility left on BF? Oh the shame, the humanity.
Have no fear, Pcad understands that he is looked to as a BF Role Model and will not be dragged into the BF Muck and Mire by the likes of Mr. Scuzzo.

An obscure advantage of Titanium Is that titanium mining removes the nasty black titanium mineral grains from the beach sands they are mixed with leaving cleaner, whiter beaches. As seen in South Africa and Australia.
