Low miles, factory spec Sram, cf firestarter fork and tires have been upgraded to tubeless. No scrapes dings or issues.
I bought this to use as a drop bar mtb and realize it's really best as an adventure touring bike which it was designed and marketed as. I have put a handful of rides on rail to rail segments but that's about it.
Since I have no intention or desire to do any adventure touring I think I would be better off just selling the bike to someone that will get better use our of it. It is a very comfortable bike, that's for sure.
$2,500.00
Shipping to conus $ 90.00.

I have used flat and riser titanium bars since the early 90's and originally went that route for the weight savings. Truth be told though the real benefit is the compliance they provide in soaking up vibrations. Some were better than others but all provided a resilient feel. I currently have a set of ti jones loop bars on my salsa ti fargo . With the cross bracing I can tell you that they are less resilient than a typical ti flat or riser bar would be, but they do still ride like ti bars. They also look great on a titanium bike too. In my mind function trumps form, but if you can have both why not as long as you don't mind paying the price.

Having owned and ridden a variety of brooks saddles since I was a kid, I have always known that a leather saddle, once broken in, is the most comfortable of all saddles. I researched the selle anatomica for a long time but the weak rail issues always kept me from buying one. Once they started to build the saddles with the beefier chromemoly rails this issue seemed to diminish and I bought a titanico x last year. It is like a really well broken in brooks and comfortable enough to ride without padded riding shorts. I weigh 185-190 and ride my bike on double track, rail trails, and single track, and so far the saddle has performed perfectly. No bent trails for me at this point.I was skeptical at first but have found I really like mine a lot.
