No, I don't - I'm told a Scotch bright pad will take out most scratches from the Titanium.

Do you use one?

Gorgeous bike and shop. I think if there were a refer for the beer and a toilet, I could live in a shop like that. Good work.

No, I've only had mine for a few days now. I assumed if it needed one they would have out a clear film or such on it. Just trying to make sure I am doing the right thing with my new baby.

LOL! That's exactly how I felt when I got mine - I don't worry about that, I'd rather expose pure Ti!

RE: The shop. Guys, I WISH that was my shop. That is the shop at Landry's in Westboro, MA ( www.landrys.com ) where I took an overhaul class to put my ride together. Highly recommended, shop and class.

Hey Mike why you want to be so upright?

No offense but looks like a girls bike. Or are you like 4'9" and need that type of geometry?

Those hi-res photos really show off the luster of Ti and Seven's craftsmanship (and yours). Saw a painted '03 Merlin at the LBS today........yours is nicer, even in photos.

Default Thanks.

Appreciate that - Seven does do a great polishing job - got to witness that first hand during the tour. Pretty amazing...

I'm back to drool again... hey, how about some feedback on the ride? Dumb question, I know, but bike porn is bike porn. Lay it down.

Some spec please...like weights...etc. Is that BB stiff enough for a hard sprint out of the saddle?

Nice Bike!
