In buying a used bike, my general rule is to buy in one of two categories: 1) perfectly rideable as is and well priced, or 2) not currently rideable and priced accordingly but easy to get there for only a little bit of cash and effort. That doesn't mean I _won't_ spend a lot on the bike, but it means I don't have to.
Dogging this one! I wasn't sold on the spine bikes when they first deubted but after riding the carbon/steel combo; I was sold! I have a couple of tbose in the stable alon with a carbon/alu one. A carbon/TI hasn't been in the collection in a while..... :)
Just bought an older blue (02-04) 55cm all Ti Victoire. Have been looking for that size and model for a couple years. And yeah it was a little over 1k by the time it arrived. And like you mentioned it will be a couple hundred to get in a place I'm comfortable doing a long ride. Thanks for the video.
If you like Ti and Carbon bikes, this is a crazy cool frame with LeMond geometry. Trek didn't make very many of them, and if you like the ride of steel, it's a must-try. That's if you can find one. Dean and Serotta made similar frames.
