She is beautiful!! You may want to reconsider having her painted. I learned the hard way that titanium does not hold paint well. My terry titanium isis came with a lovely paint job, however, it chipped very quickly. I am hoping to find out if I can get it stripped rather than re-painted some day.

Beautiful! I know you'll enjoy it.
I love the look of raw Ti, and I like the ease of maintenance.

Thanks everybody!
CA_in_NC, the Brooks is a B17, the TI version. It's a couple of years old.
aka_kim, yeah no kidding! There's a certain part of Palomares that I'd like to climb ON the bike. I mean I'm glad I have comfortable mtn bike shoes, but that's not exactly why I bought them..
Triskeliongirl, I imagine I'll have to live with paint chips. I'm going to have Seven paint it, then hope for the best. The raw titanium is nice, but I just have this thing about orange. Who knows, maybe I'll get over it.

Beautiful bike. Congrats. Can I ask how expensive the TA Carmina crank/setup was? I was interested in something similar until I saw the prices on Peter White's website. Then, not so much. Now I'm leaning toward a Campy Centaur compact with a 13-29 in the rear as a much more economical way to go.

Unfortunately, I don't have an itemized bill for this. It's wrapped into the full price of the bike. I would go with Peter White's prices for starters. Also note that at least one of the chainrings must come with the ramps & pins. We found out the hard way that shifting doesn't work without them. After that experience, I'm not sure why any distributor would send out a triple without them on at least the middle ring.

A compact double is certainly worth considering.
