Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

Cool bike, I gotta Obed with M952 goodness, Syncros post/stem/rims even titanium spokes collecting dust. Those are some rad forks!

Ohh 🔥🔥!!
I want to see a picture ★彡

(3Spades in Geneva welded the fork(°▽°))

Sick!

Good knowledge - thanks.

My friend solved the issue by returning the bike to Sonder. Whilst nerds on a bike forum will get that this is an issue, someone not so technically minded might experience the joy of a snapped steerer. They should all be recalled in my view.

That Burls is rad! Just looked through the old CP thread, those are new bars? Soma Dream risers?

@ltc thank you as ever, dear!

@jambon thanks man, please ignore the stem set to rise - it's no longer like that, haha.

@wenzovic correct on the replacement, but instead these are a different pair of Nitto. The B267AA SSB

This sounds much reassuring and made me consider Sonder again.
How do you rate its geometry for road riding? I know it's quite dirt orientated, but would like to use it for a lot of road miles as well, currently riding Sutra LTD with 445 mmchainstays, 80 mm stem and 71 HA and is fine generally (not the most agile of course), wondering if even shorter stem with 69 HA will not be too cumbersome on tarmac.

Anyone intersted in a titanium Charge Plug frame? I've had one sat in my loft for years i need to shift. The original one with track dropouts. Has a carbon Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork.

F&F only. Size small.

Glory days

Posted a couple of months ago in CP, but forgot to post here. 1996 Merckx.

Loving this so far, not had a chance to take proper advantage of the triple yet, but am taking it to west coast of Scotland and Skye at end of May so it'll get a proper hilly shakedown then.

Kinesis previously featured upthread. Needs a better stem

Bangers! I put the DA one on top of the podium.

Lovely bikes! Have to agree with the above, the one with Dura Ace 7700 is the winner. ;-)

This article prompted curiosity, any thoughts on where bicycle industry gets its titanium from?

Two years after start of Ukraine war, Russian titanium keeps flowing to West

Whole lot of 1" threadless going on there, nice one

The sr71 was built out of soviet titanium at the height of the Cold War.
So not surprised.

Wheeler R1, guess from the 90’s, manufactured in Taiwan.

Chorus/Record 9 speed, titanium component, Open Ceramic 28 spoke wheel

Georgeous

New-to-me Merlin Extralight.

It’s got some great stuff on it including Hyperons, and an Arctos Machine titanium stem.

Planning to slightly de-bling it in the coming weeks with less red and more Record:

Very nice… As you say, a worthy chainset, spacer and some decent finishing kit away from a top notch bike.

That's just a couple of touches away from perfection! Good catch

Budget Ti, bought used Van Nicholas Euros, sold parts and rebuilt with 105 R7000 groupset and Vision Team35 wheels, compact bars, Flite....£800 in total give or take couple of pounds. Will get some better rubber now the weather is getting nicer.
