Ha, yeah space metal :mrgreen: . The slow sourcing and drip of parts in this supply chain environment is killing me. The Ti parts, frame and handlebars, were the fastest to find and get. Whereas the more popular the parts you can bet are on backorder. "In stock" has little meaning anymore, been waiting about a month for a Shimano MT800 BB from Jenson, yep "in stock".

Beautiful frame! Yup, the lack of available parts is a killer. I've been looking for a new set of cranks for about 4 months.

Looks great! Classic color (or no color) scheme. With that name, those wheels are begging for a longer ride up there…

Wait, you didn't notice the oil slick chain color??!! Damn all that color coordination wasted.
