Check out liv - they have some nice carbon bikes under $2000.
It's Ti, with 10sp Campy on it. $500! Course then I had to go and change out the bars, stem, bar tape, saddle, and tires... And it needed new brake pads and a couple of cables replaced.
This upcoming Saturday. and thanks!
I think, from looking at the decals available for sale on their website, it's a 2002 Litespeed Siena. It was very filthy when I got it - years of caked on gunk. It cleaned up nice though, and rides...
I got to go ride in Denver with my brother a couple weeks ago - nice 77 mile ride. :-)

I'm a little late to the thread (but only a few months, not years!). I have both... I've been gearing up for the hotter than hell century and was trying to figure out which bike to ride, so I've...
Anyone going? This will be my first time and my first century! Going with my brother - hope I can keep up. (He's a racer dude)
That's good to know! I'll be riding the Katy Trail in September..
I would definitely want bigger tires! We had 700x38's, and they gave us a beating on a couple of sections. I was so done with bumpy gravel roads that on day 2, as soon as we were given the...
I actually saw three tandems out there on the trails! (not all at the same time) 2 of them were on the unpaved sections. They were taking it a bit slower - aiming for 30ish I think per day.

hmm. for some reason I don't have the ability to insert HTML photos so I can only do little bitty ones through the image uploader. oh well. It's pretty country!

I thought I'd throw a mention out for this route in the Idaho panhandle. I rode this last week with my brother. 180 miles in 2 days on touring bikes. It covers the Trail of the Coeur d'alenes, NorPac...
I'd put the best you can afford to on it. The Tiagra was a huge improvement over the Sora that came off my bike!
I upgraded gears and shifters on my folding bike recently, and went with the 10sp Tiagra (flat bar). Initially I was going to go with mtb style shifters, but once installed the shop realized they...
pfft. So, while the seat that is pictured is the one I want, I got the new style that is 10 mm narrower. :( oh well. it works on my mountain bike, since I'm not in the seat all the time on that one.
Half the time I use a ziplock... I also have a cell phone flip case that has enough slots for a DL, CC, and a little bit of cash. It's fat enough I don't worry about it bouncing out of my pocket.
And easier on your rims! I had to replace the wheels (well only the rims needed replacing, but I did the entire wheel, easier) after using rim brakes in the mountains in CO for a few years. The bike...
It sure looks like it! Went ahead and bought one... I also just bought a Bontrager seat at the bike store today, not returnable but they will exchange I think.
good idea, thanks!

I have one of these.. I think from 2011-2012? I would love to have another but they've been discontinued for a few years. I ...
Most of mine are in the garage. One is inside on a trainer. One is at an out of state friends house in her garage.
You may be able to swap out your current cassette for one with a larger cog count in the back... I changed mine from a 11-26 to a 12-32 for instance, that was the max I could put on it with the...
I started on a LeMond Tourmalet (entry level relaxed geometry), and after a few years upgraded to a Mrazek BOH RD (more aggressive geometry) with an awesome set of Topolino wheels on it. I think the...
Sent you a PM...
Another thought, if you end up not getting a carbon frame due to that... Get a set of nice wheels! I have Topolino wheels with kevlar/carbon spokes on an aluminum frame - that's a nice ride too!
