White bikes rule, unless you like having a clean bike. Tubeset is True Temper. I had this frame built when I had a team discount, but blew my budget on it and had to nickel & dime a parts group together. Hence the ultegra/old XTR/mismatched rims. Rides great but it is a little portly for racing, and I wish I'd had Mike weld on some cantilever bosses so I could mount a rack for touring. Luxury problem.
