& @JAH-tim. Cool, I'm sure mine will be janky AF compared to your ones. Fingers crossed it isn't just a paperweight, just over a tenner posted (including titanium bolt!) so no great loss if it's total garbage.
RonAsheton-
I’ve had an £18 Ti spring for 2 years, and other than having to replace the Ti bolt with the original steel bolt, it’s been great.
Note: you may wish to do the replacement proactively. On my spring, the ‘head’ of the bolt (that has a machined recess to catch on the triangle lever) was a separate part that was glued on. This eventually fell off and the rear triangle would fold when lifting the bike. The original steel bolt is a single machined piece. Takes 3 minutes to swap.

@ts I would’ve gone black were it not for the raw brazing on mine.
I inherited some random new bolts with this bike, one of which is this titanium 70mm M8(guess) with a 6mm hex head. Can’t see an obvious place this was destined for, the cone head seems too big as a brake or suspension swap?
