custom road bike for sale / trade

virtually brand new (less than 6 months old) - ridden less than 500 miles and never crashed....not a single mark on it. This is my dream bike, but the only reason I am considering selling is that I was recently involved in a car vs car accident (not my fault...dude ran a red light going 50 mph) that left me sketched out about riding my road bike.

Asking $5750 or open to potential trades for Raptor parts etc.

sorry about that....I just created a different page for photos and edited my original post with a new link. Let me know if it doesn't work for some reason.

custom hand made titanium frame built from start to finish by Carl Strong who is one of the best bike builders in the world. Here is a link to his site:

Strong Frames | Home

The wheels are hand built, all the components are top of the line. It has been ridden only enough to make the initial break-in adjustments. It's basically a perfect top tier road bike.

Advertise it in the Austin Craigslist. They are nuts about road bikes there. Everyone thinks they are Lance Armstrong.

Good idea....will do that. Thanks!

Are those 650cc wheels?

Because that is a really nice bike. The rear wheel hub is several hundred dollars by itself, for example.

No I am a Roadie. I have a Wilier Cento1 Tri bike.-- I know bikes but I can't see 6k for a bike that doesn't have Zipps/Campy/ or anything other than the frame and SRAM.

I wasn't trying to come onto another guys thread and share my opinion but too late I suppose.

700cc, but look like 650cc due to geometry. I'm 6'3.5" for example.
