Just brilliant!
How does the back end feel with the extra width/weight? I suppose all that Ti would offset the weight somewhat?
Also, you noticed any discernible wear or lack thereof with the Ti and the rear hinge?

Thanks!
It’s a little back heavy, but so is a 3/6 speed...
13kg is only 0.5 kg heavier than an s6r with lights / brooks / marathon tyres... so I’m happy with that.
The rear hinge will wear quicker, it’s a heavier hub and the customer will be using a trailer! Although she is only 55kg so that offsets it somewhat. The trailer is the biggest increaser.
The Vostok stuff is beautiful, and the owner, Sergey, has been the most helpful / involved via email and Facebook messages... which is unheard of for many suppliers!
