sram r-9 cassette Summary: wow-very smooth. climbs better and descends better than my older carbon frame specialized allez. it's also 4.5 lbs lighter (some of which is the carbon stuff). razor like precise steering yet stable and not twitchy. uses reynolds 6/4 double butted ti. i can stand and sprint uphill without chain rub. Strengths: stiff, smooth, very light. i climb better and ride longer on this. you don't see many of these either. pretty nice welds.
did i mention airborne will inspect a used frame and for a small fee, warranty it for life? Weaknesses: you get a bigger kick through the seat post on big bumps than my carbon frame.
expensive if bought through regular channels Similar Products Used: tested other ti bikes-lemond, lightspeed, seven; guru veloci-ti was my favorite, but $$$$$
