Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

HOT but there's something wrong with the angle of the picture. The left and right drop seem to be doing some weird overlap which is making the ramp to the hoods impossible to see.

I tried to angle it so the bars on the right side obscure the left side as much as possible. As for the ramp of the hoods, there is none. I prefer them to be flat.

Where'd you get that hardware? I'd love to get a set in blue if at all possible.

Hot if you can tilt the bar down a little bit, is that FSA Pro seatpost? It is very heavy.

I like Ti bikes, they never look outdated.

Nice handlebar, I like the position of the shifters, right on top of the bar reach area.

Yeah, here is another pic from a different angle. I've only ridden with the bars once, but I really liked them. Think this newer position will be even better too, plus I have a little bit more bartape on there now. Sadly it will be at least a month before I find out.

I agree with all of this. Also it would be nice if you would stage your bike properly. Boy that ti, sure is shining.

I'm the first to admit that my staging sucks, and it's not a weight weenie bike. However, it is a 2007 and still getting hot ratings 5 years later. That, and the awesome ride is why i love Ti, and steel frame bikes...Timeless...

Bat and 2x4 in the corner are for people who don't like my bikes.

The bike now has 600 brifters and whatnot. It's a good bike, especially for the money.

Not hot in any way shape or form. Not only that, but it is staged very poorly. Downtube shifters really? Way too many spacers, is that even safe? Bottle cages, wheels, and saddle all make for a sub zero build sorry. Also, I am not afraid you, your 2x4 or your bat either.
