Habanero Century Special
Titanium Road Bike

Click for a larger image.

Habaneros come as frames, and are set up with custom equipment to suit the rider's preference. The Century Special is a package chosen and assembled by Sheldon Brown. The Century Special is not a racing bike, it is a bike for someone who likes to ride fast and long, but values comfort and durability to a greater extent than a racer would.

Our Century Special model features:

Habanero titanium road frame
Kinesis aluminum fork
Complete Shimano 27-speed Ultegra group including:

Ultegra triple crank 52/42/30
Ultegra 9-speed hub set with 12-27 cassette
Ultegra STI brake/shift levers (Flight-Deck compatible)
Ultegra derailers
Ultegra dual-pivot brake calipers
Ultegra headset

Mavic Open Pro rims
36, count 'em, 36 DT spokes per wheel for durability and reliability
Avocet FasGrip 28-622 tires
Brooks B-17 Champion Special genuine leather saddle
TTT Prima or Nitto B115 handlebar
TTT Stratus or Nitto Technomic stem
Cinelli cork tape

Complete bike (without pedals) $1999.95

Note, any and all parts may be substituted for whatever you prefer!
