It must take a bit of communication, getting use to unweighting and appyling body english at the same time, while off road riding.

Just got done with a few up-grades:
'04 Ultimate, 59cm
SRAM Force gruppo -- compact
0-G brakes
Ksyrium ES's
Speedplays
K-sword
Reynolds cages
Toupe
weighs in a tic over 15 lbs. Should eliminate the final few excusses I have about being slow going up hills [can't be I'm too fat!]
Thanks to whomever [sorry, forgot who did it first, but it was some one here] on the LAF band around the seat post.

Yeah, I really didn't take notice of that chair until after I took the picture (it's my landlady's backyard).

My IF CJ Ti
Picked up this frame/fork/headset used. 2002 Crown Jewel Ti, originally painted by Hot Tubes but with some serious damage to the chainstay paint, like this:
Took it to a local body shop, and for $40, they sanded it and matched the paint to get it to look like this (in person it's a perfect match):
Built it up with parts from some other rides I sold recently, and now it sort of looks like this. I've since changed the stem and the gotten rid of the pump mount on the top tube (ordered a Blackburn frame pump):
I have weird fit issues (long inseam, short torso), and this comes very close to where I would be with a custom frame. Relatively short TT and relaxed HT angle help. Really love the way this thing rides. Problem is at the same time I found this a came across a used Seven Alta that will probably fit me better. Will post pics after its built.

I use Lemon Pledge on the frame, and no touch tire cleaner on my tires.
