I went to my Lbs today to pick up some supplies and got into a convo about titanium frames. I explained I was looking into Dean , Shamrock and a few others as I was definitely buying a ti frame for my next build.
He asked me to follow him real quick and pulled out an 06 Tete De course frame that was my frame size . It is beautifully simple yet a stunning silver with yellow lettering . I really loved it and am thinking very hard on buying it .
I was told it had been marked down to 999.99. What do you all of you think ,buy it ?

Buy it but ride it like you stole it!

I thought so but just thought I would throw it out there =).

The '06 Tete de Course was the last year this frame had the Titanium spine/Carbon cockpit. From everything I've read, the ride of this design is really exceptional. In fact, it's arguably the most widely coveted LeMond ever made! Finally, when you consider an '08 Tete de Course frameset (now all composite) is ~$3K, a grand for this one seems like a deal. I say go for it! :thumbsup:

dean? do you want to ride it this year?

 

[jemlinus]

For that price, YES!

What's a "convo"?

What's a "convo"?

It a convertible made of precious metals, in this case Ti. My granddad had one made of gold.

Run, do not walk, buy it. Sweet frame, no matter what you think of Mr. Lemond. He didn't make the darn thing, and decals come off if need be.

 

[scmaddog17]

hell yeah!! if a shop had that in my size for that price i'd jump all over it too!!

curty42082,

Here are the specs if you need 'em.

They sure repeat the words Dura Ace a lot. Alright I get it, it's got something called Dura Ace on it.

Buy it by all means. Just don't go get it painted.

Ok update. I am going tomorrow to look at the frame one last time before I decide .I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick it up and then put my ten speed ultegra sl set on it.

 

[Sebastionmerckx]

Alright , I bought it =) Here is a picture off my phone of the frame and Easton Fork I bought . I'll post more when I build it up . Thanks for all the comments gents=)

Thant's going to be a nice ride when you build it up. And, the slx fork is the best fork I've riden.

Do me a favor and put Italian on it! A Record groupo would be killer!

that's no spine frame

 

[jorgy]

I think that's a 2002 frame. Should still ride nice.

Why are you trying to dump it on ebay? Make the shop take it back if you don't want it and they sold it as an 06.

I just figured I would try and sell it through ebay as opposed to going back to the shop . Honestly I am feeling more than a bit misled right now and even though it's easier just to take it back , I would rather not deal with them right now. I have dealt with this shop for a while now and it really irks me.

 

[jorgy]

I'd be pissed, too. Get 'em to refund you half the price, then find a new shop.

It really is a great frame.

Is that what you would put it's value you at ?I really can't get over this if it is the truth . I have dealt with these people forever and the person who helped me out and suggested it , has always seemed very honest .
