Yet another round of updates.... I wanna get this thing onto page three so it doesn't load so slowly. But oh well--I certainly can't resist photos.

Build update!
Took this bird on a 4,000ft of climbing, 26 mile jaunt in the hills above Cupertino, CA last weekend and it performed flawlessly. Though I think I may flip the stem again for the neg 5 degree rise. The Luv Handles are fantastic bars.

PICS!

The Luv Handles are fantastic bars.

Definitely!
Aside from how great they feel, your set, with that raw ti finish, look sweet with your frame/badge- comes together nicely.

Danke! They sort of pick up the purply metallic of the Mavic sunsets too.

T'is steel though---raw + clearcoat. The finish on the ti bars is a lot more uniform, w/o the iridescence.
