First Mock-Up: fertiliTi

It's going to ride very small for a 60 C-C S.T./58 TT, I really wish I could find some Ti bullhorns...

The Copper/root-beer Kestrel EMS/Ti fork totally matches the Honey-Brown Brooks!!

Don't go Tarck-Hating on the MTB pedals, they're 4-Ti and they're FLY!!

Tensile $100 freewheel...ouch! Missing a brake, (Yes, it will have a Zero G or a Campy Record Ti schtopper.) And I seem to have no real choice but to spring for a King Ti 1" Grip-nut headset. Anything less would be unworthy!

I still don't think it's a full-Ti GT. . .Prove me wrong or right.

Time and money. . .

I can't find a proper brake, so as soon as the Ti steerer is threaded, and I pull the MasterCard trigger on the KingTi headset, I'll take it to Piccolo Velodrome. Once I have a brake it'll live on the freewheel and see many hundreds of 2-fer Monday and 2Taco-Tuesday miles around Ft Lauderdale!! (Also perhaps an occasional 3am Friday last-call run from Plantation to the beach!!)

I have Orange Lizard Skinz grips...Lame, but they match.

yea its tough to be motivated to wipe down your ride after working in the rain, sleet, or snow for 9 or so hours ya know? kinda just want to shower and self medicate with some beers.

the rear wheel is in dire need of a rebuild. ill get around to it someday

these are some of my favorite tires. i don't ever ride cross, but they are great for commuting when you have a mix of pavement and dirt/grass/gravel. is there a reason you have your rear tire reversed?
