Amazing title. A single conjunction. Great followup to previous two character title "ti" which is, as everyone knows, "it" spelled backwards. "It" is a pronoun, not a conjunction. Next, please create another thread with a two character preposition.

You know, when it comes to boutique Ti bikes, like Indi Fab, Seven, Moots, Dean, Serotta, as well as Litespeed, Merlin, and a few others that I am sure I am forgetting, you can't go wrong with any of them. If you can afford it, have a custom frame built to your measurements as a result of a proper fitting. I don't know if Litespeed will do custom but all the others mentioned will. Figure that you will end up spending from about $1800 to over $3500 for the frame and fork. BUT, search out some deals that may be lurking. Colorado Cyclist was selling the Merlin Extra Light with a good fork for about $1600 on sale and that was a great deal. About half price.

They are a pleasure to work with; accessible, helpful, reply promptly to your emails and they produce beautiful frames. Very cool and easy-going guys

haha wtf 
New to being an internet tough guy?
To actually contribute to this 2 letter thread...
https://www.roadbikereview.com/mfr/in...3_2493crx.aspx
Looks like the 6 guys that reviewed it liked it, and the weakness is it takes a while to get one and it's addictive.
BTW, I'm in Houston, what now?

"Location: Salt Lake City, Utah" isn't specific enough ?

It was too easy to get two of them. (Yes, I could have done more, but then I couldn't use the word two)
