I saw Moots' Ti commuter yesterday at the Rocky Mountain Bicycle Show (http://rockymountainbicycleshow.com/). It had a curved top tube, Rohloff rear hub and Schmidt front, lights, Honjo fenders, Tubus rear rack. No front rack or basket, which I thought was a mistake, and I think the light they had on it was just a halogen E6. Nice overall, but you could do better with $8000 to play with (yes, you read that right).
