Wow - it came! At the end of this summer I found out that I'd won a frame (+ fork and headset way cool) in a local points series - which was a real suprise to me in several respects. I certainly never expected the the prize to be a bike and ordered for me in my size too! It came in this week and I got it all built up in time for the weekend. I took my maiden voyage on Saturday and took the poor baby out in the driving rain today. It's great! I must say Ti is pretty nice for smoothing out all the bumps and eliminating road noise. The photos not the greatest, but here she is. She's a TiCycles Hyak. The company is local and the bike is their house design.

The rims are Velocity Deep V's. They are a little deeper than standard rims. I stole those off of the TT bike that I bought used this summer. I'm looking for better TT wheels for that one in any case.
