Carbon fiber, titanium, and aluminum, all on the same bike?

I have one that's carbon fiber frame and wheels and aluminum components (Cervelo P2C), and one that's a whole lot of aluminum (Giant TCR). Whatcha got?

Thanks guys, I am really proud of her. Almost inspires me to break out the ol Bike. Eight hours is a lot of saddle time. She rides a Trek. Sorry no pics.

 

[scoobert]

trek is ok, got a specialized myself. its allot easier to ride a hybrid bike then a racer. i got to get mine out again someday... when i'm 60. she will never forget it.

But a lot less fun. And for the record: Cervelos rule! Seriously, if you haven't ridden a Cervelo before, try one--they're expensive, but worth it.

I've got a MASI 3VC full carbon for the road, and an old HomeGrown Schwinn for the mountains. Been riding for a long time, and still loving it.
