Burls titanium fixed

Cash is always better than a hooker.

American Classic have had piss graphics for while. Do hope you get better soon Mr Platini.

Seriously considering one of these after fixing it to work these last few weeks. Wouldn't mind hearing your long term views and seeing any of your Ti Courier builds.

BMMF - your ti courier picture isn't available any more. Any chance of a pic?

Anyone elso got one?

Cheers

all that is white must be turned black.

Thanks for the heads up.

Much appreciated. as you can see...

I built this for my dad a few months back. It's now rocking Phil Wood/Mavic CXP33 wheels and done about 1000miles.

I rode it for my first long ride a few weeks ago (45 miles) and it was sweeeet!

Really smooth and forgiving, yet stiff when you put the power down. It really benefits from a stiff component build as the frame is more than forgiving enough.

I actually went through Burls on this, not hubjub, but essentially the same thing!

You've changed your position then? Have you been riding it on a turbo or something?

No. I realised when I put it away in the garage next to the Spesh, the Colnago and the (dead) Wilier that the seatpost was way short. Hence the new post and stem.

Top marks for observation. You missed the Record titanium cassette though...
;-/

C'est fini...

forgive my foolishness, but what is the benefit of having carbon stays? is it just a weight thing?

nice BTW, cinelli ram bars, very schwing

They're not carbon. They're 'carbon-enhanced titanium'. No, me neither.

Thanks. I love the look of the bars (insert boozing joke here)...

I think that Ti Courier picture went AWOL during the big data loss of '09.

Once more:

prendas armwarmers ; respeck due.

spectacles : i thought you wore contacts and recycled them?

Out of interest how heavy are your bikes Crane, Platini and DJ ?

James' bike weighs about the same as a fart.

My farts weigh about the same a small child :/

@nimhbus - I don't like contacts for sport in milder climes, but have been wearing (and rewearing) them again recently. And yes, Prendas rock everyone's world, even if they (the rockees) don't know it yet.

@Dylan - their bikes are all heavier than mine.

I think you mean, 'how light are your bikes?'

As for mine - not as light as it will be when I finally get to ride it...

so. it will be lighter with you on it?
time to buff up my friend

i wouldn't be surprised if platini's bike weighs the same if not a tiny bit less than BMMF's
lighter frame wheels and contact points making up for the weight of gears.

BMMF and Dancing James. Cheers for the pics. The tubes seem relatively skinny for a modern ti frame. The Burls has got to be one of the best looking ti road bikes I've seen. This side of a Speedwell that is:-)

so. it will be lighter with you on it?

Of course it won't. Did they not teach you the rudiments of Physics?

so i'm thinking a weight of about 6-7Kg's... am i close ? if so that's pretty good.

Front end contact points, certainly, but I bet my wheelset's as light as those ACs.

6kg. Could go lighter with carbon bits upstairs, but I don't do that sort of thing. Budget starts getting ridiculous, and things break.

mine is 8.1kg, and it is very big, and is built with fairly robust bits, the weight could be dropped easily with my non-commuting wheelset and more carbon than just the forks
