If it has a 2125 decal, the 3 main tubes are ti. The rear triangle is chromoly. The bars are ti. The forks and stem are chromoly.

hiya guys, ive never had a road bike, ive been looking at the 600 and 725 on ebay. both 21" frames. im 6foot 1, with a 34 inside leg, would they be to small for me, or do i need to hold out for a bigger frame, like a 23" 58cm?

I’m 6’2” though have a longer torso, my inside leg is 33”. My Dyna-Tech Pro feels perfect in a 23” frame, stem from memory is slightly longer. In the photo below is about the comfiest I’ve had a bike.
