Dredge time.
Managed to get hold of a really ratty SLR on ebay for the princely sum of £17 and thought I'd give stripping it a go. I used to have a carbon-ti SLR that I got on with well (until I shattered the nose off it) so thought this was worth a shot
Weight weenie etiquette fulfilled:
30mins of hairdryer, acetone and a couple of thumb blisters later, the cover came off:
Cleaned up with only a few minor scuffs. It's actually lighter than the other full carbon titanium railed one I had before!
Sat atop the relative boat anchor seatpost:
Pretty pleased with how it looks!
