> This is an opportunity to own one of the first titanium bicycle frames
> and forks ever made as I am willing to part with my Teledyne Titan due to
> financial reasons. Follow the link below for backround information. It
> comes with all original equipment in excellent condition. Very few of
> these American made classics were produced and even fewer still
> exist. This bike is 60cm, center-to-center, constructed of pure,
> aerospace-grade titanium, and in good working order. This rare
> collectable even includes the original Teledyne titanium fork. It is
> outfitted with a Campagnolo Nuovo Record drivetrain, wheels are
> constructed of high-flange Campy hubs laced to Fiamme gold label rims and
> a Suntour 6-speed cluster. Componentry highlights include: Campy pedals,
> Brooks leather racing saddle on a Campagnolo seatpost, Dura Ace headset,
> 3TTT stem, and Cinelli Pista bars with leather tape. Decals are not
> present on the frame, conjecture is that this was done to reduce
> weight. The only flaws are minor: A small repair at the seatpost pin was
> professionally completed; The rear tire needs replacement, and; The brake
> hoods are deteriorating as a result of age. I will accept $985 plus
> shipping from Los Angeles. Serious inquiries only. Pictures upon request.

Had a beautiful ride to work this morning, got to wear my new/old Santini l/s BIANCHI wool jersey. Style is everything. Well, sometimes.
