Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

They're working for me, but if I want to open them in a new tab, my browser is asking me to download them. I think they're shared weirdly via Dropbox or something, judging from the url.

I was hoping you made a custom gif that said 'your pinion', but alas.

Yeah sorry but I'm not witty in gif making. I was actually worried no one would understand my pun without the gif ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Deep dredge but did you ever proceed with these? Would be interested in taking a peep at some of them and the name is excellent!

Few more pics on the gram, will be more stuff on it's way in the next couple of months.

Better?

Much better. Thanks. Love it.

Perfect conditions for a test ride too.

Ribble CGR in the raw filth earlier today

Been considering one of this for a while, happy with it? Any comments/advice?

Lysnkey in ridiculous winter mode, with the only set of wheels I own. Got a PM in the xmas sales as well as a new crankset. Chuffed.

What is winter mode about this? Where the mudguards at? 🥲

They were off as i'd just cleaned it. As was the saddle bag/lights. But those were about the only 'winter' additions...

You deserve a dry behind 😔

I’ve had it for about 15 months and it’s often the bike I choose ride. Which given my shed is indulgently stocked says something. It’s not super light but I really like it.

I got it secondhand from a friend (he decided XL wasn’t right and got the same in L) and I’ve ridden it off road and on. As pictured it’s running 700x40c, would take a little more at the rear and a lot more at the front. I haven’t tried it 650b but I’m not sure that will give significant extra clearance.

Conclusion - I really like it but if buying new and the geometry on the Planet X offerings work I’d probably go with one of those

Still looks brand new, 10 years on.

Now we’re talking

Strong bar tape. I used to do this on my track bike to match team kit. Are you tempted by two pairs of shoes and wear odd ones?

Previous ti - Dedacciai titanio

Current ti - Baum Corretto & Mosaic GT2

Never gets old this one.

I hadn’t been tempted until now....

Mosaic GT2 looks like immense fun! I really need to get an all-road/ gravel thing.

Nice mosaic:)
What gearing did you chose on the mosaic and any comments about the group?

Thanks!

40T with a 9-42 in the back.

Haven’t used it yet actually as it’s Zwift time for the time being. Setup was a breeze, rear mech holds a lot of tension which is good to see. Brakes feel solid and haven’t had to bleed them after shortening the hoses. I left the cables a bit too long but I’d rather cut again than ending up short.

Cleanest it's been for a while 🙂

Anyone know a good source for an affordable but decent Ti seatpost for my Lynskey? Perhaps a Waltly/Aliexpress special kind of deal? Not in a rush, but as my aluminium Deda post is fading where the saddle pack strap ties I'm thinking of a replacement and Ti posts get very good reps for bum comfort...
