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

Sold out Motobecane Ti road bikes - a tease?

Anyone who's been to the Motobecane website has seen that their Titanium roadbikes have been sold out - for as long as I can remember. Does anyone actually have one? And in the past, do they only restock around the new year? I seem to recall that they were sold out as early as Jan this year. Just curious.

The Ti MTBs sell out fast as well. Hardly surprising given their value relative to the competition.

Are you or have you ever been compensated in any form by anyone or any company in or related to the bicycle industry?

i wonder if BD deliver outside north america. Ti sounds interesting but the desire is not strong enough to splash out big bucks
