I ride all of them and I try to hit the same amount of mileage on each. Last year, they each received about 550 miles. The single speed gets a half share. The MTBs (not depicted) got about 100. I try to be fair and that way they won't throw me on the ground.
Just did the last of the up grades. I've been slowly replacing parts for the last 1 1/2 years. Started out as a 02 TCR Alum and have finally replaced the frame and fork.
All in all I think the Kog turned out nicely. With so much quill and seat
post showing it almost looks to be proportioned like a 650B. Sorta
modern, sorta traditional. Haven't shifted on the downtube for many
years but this thing is notchy and good. XTR rear d, 105 front d,
48/34 Stronglight Impact, 11/32 Sram, Tektro 200 levers, DA downtube
shifers, Nitto Technomic Deluxe, and Ritchey WCS traditional bend
bars. Pacenti lugged, far east steel steal.
This is actually the E-5 alum frame. I wanted one of the new carbon frames but they want to much money for those bad boys. The 2005 E-5 frame I got for $900 out the door. I must say that I like the way this thing rides. Super Fast and smooth. A lot smoother than I could have imagined for a alum frame. The whole bike is only 14.5 lbs with pedals, cages, and computer.

Hi guys
Here is my Caad7 year 2003
I changed a few things on it.
It climbed twice Mount Washington and twice White Face and reached 94 km/h in the descente of white face.

I road down Whiteface last summer. That is the fastest decent I have ever done (62.5 mph). You can fly because the turns are so subtle, you don't even need to apply brakes.
Now that is ! Those must be fairly rare frames, eh? I never knew Raleigh ever did a Ti frame. What year?

Are you from upstate NY or Vermont/NH? Whiteface and Mt. Washington would be doable for me, just drive up there and leave some energy for the climbs. Always wondered how descents would be off of those 2.
thanks - the "stealth" frame is a raleigh special products prototype titanium that i got from the factory here in Nottingham UK just before they closed. its bare metal with a bead blasted finish - no paint/laquer etc. cant be scratched chipped corroded.
Being a survivor from Nottingham, that bike needs a name, and you know what I'm thinking. Alas, it's already taken--my mother has an old Robin Hood from the 50's. But that thing really needs an arrow on it somewhere...
Very, very nice. It's too bad that Nottingham is gone now. But it is nice that you have something like that to remember them by!
