There's a Ti frame on craigslist that looks so nice. I really want it.

It's my size, too. I was also tempted to look at that one. But I plan to use mine for a bit of light touring, so I really want rack mounts and to fit wider tires than that one.

This is the one I'm looking at this weekend: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/5026757219.html

The wheelset drives me crazy (disc hubs built up with caliper brake rims, srsly?) and I'm not really a fan of the blue accents, but it's my dream frame and the perfect groupset... we'll see if I can talk him down to something I'm comfortable with, given everything I want to change up.

Ti is way too ****in expensive for me to take it seriously.

cali_axela 05-21-15 06:01 PM

Ride one and you'll understand why. My dad has one that I get to ride occasionally, an old Teledyne Titan, and it's unreal how comfortable it is on rough roads, but still more efficient than steel when hammering, and so light.

Mumonkan 05-21-15 06:07 PM

i dont know any dentists :(

Just hang out at the ritziest LBS near you for awhile.
Preferably a colnago or wilier dealer. Your best bet is a cervelo dealer though.

TejanoTrackie 05-21-15 07:01 PM

Nah, just visit a Salsa dealer.

Mumonkan 05-21-15 07:02 PM

i dont have any rapha things either so i cant hang out at the rapha club

I definitely felt out of place rolling up to the SF Rapha store with my dirty loaded up Surly. One overpriced coffee please.

For all the thespians in the audience (have a laugh or don't, no hate of Rapha they make some purdy shiz):

Rapha employee #1 : "ewwwww whats that?"
Rapha employee #2 : "looks like bike grease, yuck"
Regular biker: "yes I actually ride my bike"
Rapha employee #1 : "you what now?"
Regular biker: "ride my bike"
Rapha employee #1 : "Come again?"
Regular biker: "R-I-D-E MY B-I-K-E"
Rapha employee #2 : "but your clothes aren't from our boutique and your bike looks so cheap and dirty...huhwuhzuhkuhhhhhhwhh, I don't think I can talk to you"
Rapha employee #1 : "OMG I was on Strava like so hard last night"
Rapha employee #2 : "That site is tots the best, I am on it like all the time when I am preloading for my club ride on the weekends, I train so hard."

SpeshulEd 05-21-15 09:49 PM

I'm always tempted to buy Rapha stuff for the name, but I can never pull the trigger...they're just black bibs and a plain jersey. Same for Assos.

Today I decided to sell my Macho Man because I literally never ride it.

Shouldn't have bought that CaadX. It's for basics :p
He was willing to take $800 a week ago, probably even less now. Don't tell him I told you :innocent:

I'd sell the wheelset. It isn't going to be cheap, though...

Don't worry I'm not a fixiefoo or black tony.

Scrodzilla 05-21-15 11:36 PM

Hey, don't knock Black Tony. He just threw down some pretty serious scrilla for a custom Colossi.
