Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

Mismatched calipers V (previously) fat bastard plus kit hurtling down mountain...
I'm fairly fashion free at the best of times;-p

Spenceey, the longer you ride the more you'll like it:)
Done 2 DD's on it now both of 'em were a joy

Now my Panasonic is going to be a fair weather bike, I'm thinking about getting a chinese Ti frame for more of an everyday hack for my next bike.

Get some adjustable drop-outs from paragon machine works, and you can run it how you want.

All yours? Or have you not quite grasped the idea behind this thread? Let's not turn it into another bike porn type thread.

This

I'm the owner of a lovely ti bike (as of this weekend) built it up myself as my one bike for everything. Well until a few years time I can afford another ti bike.

First impressions, I'm blown away by it. So light and soaks up the road incredibly well. At first I thought I had a puncture climbing out of the saddle.

Same thing though in my case it's an Enigma Etape (crap name for a bike with guards - sounds like it's meant to appeal to middle aged wannabees - shit I'm middleaged!). Currently running mudguards and open pros, will ditch the guards and have light wheels for summer in a yesteryear one does all sort of thing. Bought for comfort with the weight an added bonus.

Never had an issue with braking but do wonder what more stopping power would feel like when loaded.

Swissstop Green, if you can't stretch for it, Koolstop Salmon, you'll notice a big improvement that you'll feel comfortable descending in the wet at speed.

Parcelfarce I hope not?

Refuse charges, go to USPS office to do your own brokerage, has saved me tons of cash.
Truth, I weighed it.

Depends on whether the owner enclosed receipts that Parcelforce have seen.

Yes, I am aware of the virtues of Swissstop pads, Ed. I have run them in the past in fact! I was referring to using cantis. Thanks though.

Ha I'm no where near middle aged! I brought the bike most suited to me and the riding I do, Long distance, commuting over 10 miles, all year round club/weekend rides.

The Yukon ticks all those boxes and is an incredible bike to ride, can't imagine myself wanting another bike for some time.

My 2010 Van Nich Mistral with Ultegra 6700 and ultegra hubs on Open pros.

It's my custom built Serotta Legend with Record 11. I had it made for my ride to Monte Carlo in September. It is the most comfortable bike humanly possible.

When will the IF be rolling??

Soonish.

Good work Clive!!

What bike is it going to fund? More Ti?
