Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

I tried to sell but not a sniff of interest so figured I might as well put it’s summer shoes on - tyres plump nicely to 31mm (and clearance for more) and stopping safely is hugely overrated…

Saw this on IG. So cool, seat tube and head tube branding are top notch

Thanks, it was fun to put together, hopefully my son will be happy to see his name on it too. As he's more often than not on the front I wanted him included.

Put my Wiggle carbon on for summer

So our prototype got the wrong finish. Supposed to be brushed, with bead blasted logos.

The whole thing is just bead blasted. How hard would it be to brush a whole frame at home? Ive refinished brushed frames, but never gone from blasted to brushed

I'd guess it's quite a mission, although much easier than sanding the paint off a frame... Not that that's saying much

I’ve decided to just do a panel on the downtube and possibly some bands on the seat tube.

RIP Baum, headtube angle went from from 72.5 to 76 degrees after a frontal impact vs a car.

You will be missed.

😔 Maybe they can repair it?

That’s so sad, it’s a beautiful frame and not easily replaced.

Damn, condolences

I'll use it on the indoor trainer as I can't use it outside anymore. Using the Mosaic for the time being but I can clearly tell the Mosaic is not made to be a road bike.

Few more days / weeks and I'll have a road bike up and running again, no ti this time but carbon and disc.

Just hope to get everything sorted with the insurance as it was 100% her fault. The bike has been the least of my worries to be fair.

hope you're not too banged up?

I was / am, on the road to recovery now. More info can be found here;

Oooft, I'd missed that. Glad to hear you're recovering, that sounds absolutely horrible.

Sorry you were hurt so bad!
I went through a car windshield once but was fine compared to that.

So sorry to hear. Hope recovery continues and you're not impacted long term.

The only bike I own and it’s a decent comfy ride

Fucking love this bike.
Built it just before I had kids, rode it a little bit and then left it standing for a few years while I chased really small people around parks and museums.
Have a new commute and have rewoven biking into my days and absolutely fucking loving it again.

The only part of the build I regret is the rims. Lovely Chris Kings hubs and I should have gone either open pros or hunt rims not this shitty budget halfway house. I think they are DT Swiss or something.
And the puffy tape I have to have because my wrist is made of metal, but other than that... it gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me.
