JM,
Holy cow, that thing is sick. Please also post some pics of the two other INCREDIBLE rides behind that bike. That ti deluxe looks insane! Get some. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Darren. Here’s a link to the Ti Deluxe FLW MTB:

Nice Bike. How’s the road riding in the P.I.? Last time I was there was in 94.
Road riding here is good as long as you ride early enough in the day and go outside the major cities to avoid all the pollution. A lot has changed since ’94. You might not recognize much from the last time you were here. Many good trails to ride if you’re into MTB too.
I’m wondering why the frame wasn’t shot peened though… I was expecting it to be shot peened like all their other Ti frames. Comparing the finish on my MTB FLW and this road FLW, the finish on the shot peened MTB has a lot more texture. Or maybe it WAS shot peened and the finish is just smoother these days?
I’m getting really jealous of all the bikes with the little decal of the logo on the bottom of the seat tube with either Boston or Somerville or New Market. I’ve requested this logo on all three IF’s I have and haven’t gotten them on any… Anyone know how to request for them after I’ve already taken receipt of the bikes?
Sounds odd, I’d drop the team in the factory a message and see what they say.
Hi Cris. Any reply from the IF team about the decals?
