Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

No, sorry- the diameter of the wrench needed to remove the crankbolt.

It's the easiest way of telling them apart.

Ah, put them on yday but dont remember wich i used. Then there atleast isent an issue with to few threads.

Most depressing thread on the internet.

Sooo correct! :)

Nice 'lyrics'! :)

Don't know if I can trust them, but even if it's 50% true, we'd all be just fine, even as a 200kg highlanders!

Would look beautiful without the stupid wheels

^ and dubious brake setup

^^ and the archaic saddle.

Is that the same frame as you had Andy? Or do you still have that?

I sold it just over a year ago, and have a sneaking feeling, given the headset and fork fitted to it, that bunolagus bought it from me.

I blame andyp.

It's a tragic waste.

That is probably the only ti without curved seatstays that makes sense.

You're right andyp! :)

You can imagine now you were not the only one laughing when they were mentioning it's "shame Andy knowingly sold it to some east London hipster who stripped it powder coated it blue converted it to fixed and runs an aerospok on it." :)

... though, they were not that far, just a 1000+ miles and couple of gears, colors & aerospokes away! :)

P.S. Sorry for ruining your day now, I had no such intentions at all! I simply loved the stupid wheels with dubious brake setup and archaic saddle on top of it!

Honestly.

... and just for the record.

I can't say nothing but the best about dealing with andyp. Frame was exactly as it was described, in VGC and well taken care of for over a decade!

Luckily, that still continues to be the case... I'm loving the 'thing' in the same manner despite the non-purist & not-exactly-how-factory-ment-it-to-be guise it now has!

I'm delighted that someone who clearly loves the frame is now enjoying riding it.

I'm not sure if this is the done thing here but presumably there are a few peeps looking in who could be interested in buying a TI bike. I just thought this latest offer from PX looked pretty bargainous. Van Nicholas Euros w/ SRAM Force for £1,499.99. Not a big fan of the forks, but there you go.

Wow, those forks are disgusting. Seems to be pretty good value until you factor in another 200 quid to replace them.

I was looking at this.....
