  • From what i have read, Ti is good as a seatpost material - absorbing n ting, but i've no idea what i'm talking about.

    They can also weld a saddle clamp to the top of an ISP as well if you're feeling brave :)

    Hmmm, extras are mounting here somewhat....

    Thicker walled chainstays,
    Double butted main triangle, and
    ISP with clamp.

    Was considering wishbone seatstays too, but it looks like the standard frame comes with curved stays. That might do the trick.

  • Anyone used a stem like this before?

  • who really cares as long as it looks the shizzle and your peers are jealous?

    how does the clamping affect carbon steerers (if you will be using one)

    Word.

    Can't find a carbon steerer long enough so that's not an issue. Hoping someone can see a flaw in the construction so i can rule it out as a dirty extravagance.

  • Is it a single bolt clamp? Looks like it. For that reason, I'm out.

  • just buy a thomson X2 and be done with it.

  • X4 if you're serious though

    Yup, single bolt, and the compression is centred on the welds :-/
    They have other sexy options though....

    Thomson can trombone me.

  • C'est fini...

  • "C'est".

  • They have to be the fugliest road wheels ever. :P

    lol...

  • all that is white must be turned black.

  • i guess this just shows you can't buy taste.

    +1. Clearly...

  • i like it.

    nice bars, Plato.

  • I like it too. I assume you'll be monitoring headset adjustment closely for the first few hundred miles, and if there's even a smidgen of nano-play, you'll be ERADICATING IT LIKE A MUTHA.

    I will.
    I know it may only prove to be interim, but I'd like to be in charge of how 'interim' it will be...

  • Would you like me to look after it until you are better?

  • Thanks for the offer Andy, but it's serving a good purpose at the moment - as motivational material...

  • Damn......

    Hows the healing process going?

  • Damn......

    Hows the healing process going?

    Another month off with the ribs and ankle. Shoulder operation could be a couple of months off yet...

  • That sucks.

  • That sucks.

    Compensation won't though...
