Thanks for liking this bike, and posting in the bikeporn page. As requested, a brief work-in-progress details.
I've been wanting a frame which I can just thrash around, not to worry about the paint job, so when my friend found this one for me, I just took it.
The frame used to belong to a Chinese cyclist, Jiang Cui Hua. She's famous for competing in the track time trial at the 2000 Summer Olympics where she won a bronze medal. She's also infamous for crashing into Jennie Reed during the 2004 UCI Track Cycling World Championships (which was held in Melbourne) http://www.usacycling.org/reed-advances-in-womens-sprint.htm
That's her, one mean looking lady...
This frame is nothing much to look at, however, it is full titanium (except the fork, which is carbon + steel steerer).
