@Keppel A very nice collection by the sounds of it! I'm forcing myself to stick to a 'sensible new car' for the next year or so while I save for a house deposit :( Did spot my old mk2 for sale on ebay the other day, was tempted to say the least..

I picked up a cool book a few months ago all about old VW's and all of the strange prototypes they did and all the aftermarket parts that Votex, Reiger etc did for them. Some mad stuff!

@bengreen nope! I always make plans and then they never happen, I'll keep quiet until something materialises

My lips are sealed!!

Not fair!

This may well be the next project, albeit with SRAM Force probably...and Zipps!

@jakjakjak I blame you entirely...i now "need" a Ti frame to start building up!

Oh and gumwalls...cos they're my new favourite thing!

If you're going to go ti, you may as well go Lynskey Helix...

Haha, you should be a salesman - just £2249 for the frameset!!

Yeah, it's a bargain considering nobody else has one in Norfolk... Also the mad helix, of course, gives mad gains.

This forum costs me a fortune....

There was a guy selling an Enigma ti build on the facebook classifieds a few weeks back

Oooooh just checked out their website! NICE!

Fingers crossed the taxman doesn't steal too much from me next week...

You can buy me a new bike if you're itching for a new project. Honestly it's cool, I don't mind at all..

Haha, lfgss loan shark!?

Haha, A bit like that, although this next build is going to clear you out, Not sure if you'll be able to hide a second mortgage from Mrs. H! ;)

Yes and no...I'm sorely tempted to get rid of my company car to save on tax and get myself fitter - waiting for the bad weather to make this decision was perhaps unwise!

Just had a chat to a guy at Enigma and could be sorely tempted by the Echo...

God you really don't waste any time do you?! You do realise that if you get a ti roadie you'll have to get a ti track bike and mtb right? It's practically a law

Rode the Dynamo with a friend who was on his Ti Burls. Are you ready for the "ti twang" at random times? Freaked me out a bit initilly as I thought that I'd popped a spoke.

Read that as 'ti wang' when I realised my mistake I lost interest

I think with me hovering around 100kg I'd rather the ti twang than the carbon creak!!

Oh goodness.....http://www.fatbirds.co.uk/1132397/products/lynskey-helix-os-titanium-frame-2013---brushed-with-free-fork-and-headset.aspx

@thross

But...the Enigma is made in England and I spoke to one of their frame builders this afternoon, which I like!!

Fatbirds are local too though - Norfolk I believe - so you'd be doing them a favour too!

All this aside, you really don't need an Ti road bike...

Hmmmmm decisions decisions

The Thought process was that if I bought a Ti frame I really wouldn't ever need to buy another...there is method in my madness occasionally
