  • Thanks Object!!

    Figured it out, but you were a minute ahead of me.

  • My Ti Special Products Raleigh:

    I love it.

    My Raleigh Special Products.... crap pic but was only one on my phone

    Stripped it down last year and added a 10speed Carbon Record groupset, will upload some better pics if anyone is interested

  • looks like we have the same bar-stem set up.

  • Sam that Colnago looks the nuts. Very lovely wheels on display there too.

  • This is my latest build... Sabbath Silk Road frame from the fleabay for a bargainous 350 beans (had a bit of a crywank when it arrived as i thought it was too small-turns out it is slightly snug but otherwise fits) and built up with Veloce 10spd from my now deceased crabon Wilier (Rip, friend), brushed steel Chorus seatpost (would love to upgrade this for Ti just for the sake of it...), Easton EA 70 forks that came with the bike-nothing fancy but I like them. Pictured with Pro-Lite Bracciano wheels but I've had some Ambrosio Ultralite's laced to NOS White Industries Aft Tracker hubs built specially for this bike, though I didn't want to bring them with me to Holland as i was carrying a lot of baggage (I actually put a rack on this bad boy. perverted.) and they are only 28h rims...

    Only changes I might make soon are putting a Centaur crabon crank on as the Veloce is compact, but otherwise i really enjoy riding it as is so will be looking forward to taking it up some mountains over summer I think.

    The Sabbath frame is a bit marmite visually because of the stays, but I like it and since the first time I've ridden on it I don't see myself ever going back to carbon... Ti just feels sooo nice-light, responsive and comfy. Might remove the shitty sabbath decal though, it's not great and I like plain old Ti tubes ;)


  • Salsa Ti drives side by adshools, on Flickr


    Salsa Alacarte Ti by adshools, on Flickr

    Salsa alacarte Ti - Ti post (USE), stem (VN) and bars (VN). 22lb dead (as will I be if discovered!). Frame a bargain I couldn't resist, build got completely out of hand.

  • We just got one of those printing machines in work, they're very cool. Pity its almost £1m.

  • It's only a pity if you paid for it.

    Will you print me a bike pls Spotter. jpeg PMed.

  • http://vimeo.com/47522348

    sweet.

    is that eggpie in that?

  • Anyone got an old style litespeed out there?

  • I have a 2003 Vortex.

  • Re 3D printer, I don't understand the "stress releaving" in the oven part. Are you trying to heat and shake up all the molecules so once it cools it makes sure they've all together?

  • v nice.

  • Sort that saddle angle and crank rotation. Good background.

  • saddle is horizontal, though the photo indicates otherwise

  • /get's vaselined up /reads thread

  • Just seen this in the flesh. Lovely.

  • Dave Lloyd circa 2000 with full Dura Ace, mix of 7700, 7400 and AX

  • the Sabbath has had a re-build with centaur crabon grouppo...

    stem is in old man position until my shoulder repairs itself : /

  • stem is in scoblestack position until my shoulder repairs itself : /

    Heal fast.

  • now that you put it that way I might have to just flip it and try to live with the pain!

  • Some lovely bikes here love the idea of ti and a bike that really lasts. Am very close to parting with my hard earned cash for a van nic mistral. Any other options in the sub 1500 bracket I should be looking at? Mostly going to be used for sportives and odd bit of touring.
