Is Habanero still a good choice for a Ti roadbike?

Looks like the price has gone up, 995 now

Y'all won't believe this but now that I've freshened up a beautiful old Fuji for rain, ... ... well, ... the brakes simply do not work in the rain.

Sheldon said that aero levers have much greater mechanical advantage, and it would be interesting to see if those would help. I also have a pair of modolo morpheus brifters I was thinking about putting on. Would have to check the throw to see if - on 7speed setting - it will line up with the six speed freewheel that's on there now. IIRC they were both shimano and campy compatible, I guess either their 7 speed cog spacing are the same, or the modolos have a fine adjustment.
The bike already has barcons which I like. OTOH the reviews say the modolos are good brake levers but not good shifters, so maybe just use them as brake levers.

This thing doesn't have discs and is not a 56 and is not in my town anyway:

Is it a sloping top tube or just the way the pic makes it look?


Level top tube on that model.

How does Habanero compare to Lynskey? I have been looking at a Lynskey 250 their prices were better until these I see. I assume Muzi will know or have an idea.

Habaneros are a good value IMHO.
Sorry no opinion of Lynskey.

Thanks that was a great article.

Interesting points in the paragraph about Chinese manufacture (just
below the photo of the tandem).

"Trade is the one thing in this crazy world that incentivizes countries
to play nice..." and "Those new middle-class [Chinese] consumers are
now customers for American entrepreneurs..."

Obviously, people disagree on these things; but Mark's views don't seem
to be at the forefront just now.

Yes, we understand, you just can't stand reality where the majority are more important than the minority.

Sheesh, Tom, I didn't state a position one way or the other. Get a grip!

A Habanero disc brake cross bike. Just need to find one in pristine condition on CL for $750.
