I rode the Kish into work as normal today. I parked it in my normal spot. I colleague went to park his bike next to mine. Apparently I’m a flash bastard, for riding a Custom Ti framed, Paul and Phil equipped bike to work and letting it get dirty. He said this with a straight face on his Rohloff hub, Internal wired Dynamo, Fox float forked, spotlessly clean bikepacking ’Rig’.
Why is Titanium such a red rag?

Because in the UK, it is seen far less and is rather exotic. Way fewer custom Ti builders and not many off the peg Ti builders.

The U.S., is full of Ti builders and the U.K. is full of steel.

idk about that, seems like every other mamil has a Ti steed
Not necessarily British brands but there are plenty of lynskeys and van nicholases on your average group ride, especially in winter
