Titanium Quintana Roo Build

[berndrea]

So I bought a complete xs Quintana Roo Kilo of Craiglist for $290. It was converted to road came with a mixed group of 105/Ultegra 9 speed. Also had true 650c Velocity Deep Vs. So I stripped all the parts off it. Luckily there was another killer deal for a M Quintana Roo PicanTi frame on Craigslist as well. So my Sunday project is almost done. Just ordered a new fork/headset, should be riding it by the end of the week!

So I finished the bike on Thursday and have put 60 miles on it. Getting used to the compact geometry, feels super nice over pot holes and railroad tracks.
