Charles,
If anybody's eating burritos I'll pull if it's OK?
That pic was taken last Jan 29th after climbing 5 hours and 4 minutes up Mt Haleakala in Maui. You can see the snow cap on the Big Island in the background.
My LeMond is carbon/ TI and I love the ride.
Full TI seems like the next step. Lasts forever, light, stiff, compliant ride, and if you scratch it, take it to a Rolex AD to get it buffed!
