Holy cow!
I've never owned a Titanium bike... too much moola for me and it's been impossible for me to justify. Most of the TI bikes I have ridden have felt no better than a good steel frame, but most of those were cheap TI... I'd love to ride all of these to see what the fuss is about....
Maybe one day I'll get a TI bike, and maybe it will be a Retro.

I'm suprised you didn't enter the Corratec Bow-Ti?

I agree Chris - so many stunning bikes on display. Not one that I wouldn't like in my garage.
Its especialy interesting to see what details people pick out in the colour scheme or theme for their build too, seeing as all the frames are the same colour.

go on then i'll add mine to the huge fab list
somehow a bit tame/lame, compared to the pauls/proshifted/mavic equipped exotica on the starting line.
Foul weather outside, but dry in the garage, so cabled up and added pedals.
Fits the bill as a 'runner'
or am i to late :!:
