Gary, been years. I may or may not drop by tomorrow!

tarmac disc etap fell off the back of truck sale?

Always wanted a ti bike but boutique Ti brands are outta my budget. I like the GTs triple.

some may disagree with me but that GT triple triangle is pretty timeless....make that in Ti and you have a frame that will stand the test of time and proabably hold a lot more resale value in the long run.

My brother picked up the Ti Xizang 29er from Jenson when they were on clearance. it was a great value.

Speaking of, I just rebuilt a GT ti road bike this week at the shop. I used to have a Xizang and wanted the matching road bike and couldn't afford it at the time. I was a huge GT fan through the 90's.

Salsa colossal Ti? I think that's the most reasonable price for a bike but 2015 might be the last year for that. With the recent changeovers to disc brakes I'm holding out for thru axle disc.

Doesn't the new Colossal Ti have f/r thru axle already (15mm front/142x12 rear)?

the 2015 if you can find one, I don't see a TI version after that year.

 

[Blair]

and I don't like the 2015 paint job so thats a dealbreaker.

Sounds like you ventured a little too close to Plainfield!!

Given the choice between the two bikes in the OP, I'd go with the GT. Just looks cooler.

Otherwise, my next road bike will have disc brakes.

How's this ti working out for you? Starting some research for a 2017 purchase and curious how it rides vs others you've had. There's no litespeed dealers around and that T5g looks nice.
