It's for a steel frame bike so forged alu ones look too chubby compared to the frame. I have a nitto fillet brazed steel one which is a bit more svelte but it's quite heavy. Hence looking for a Ti one. Would also match the seatpost.
Thought this question might be relevant in this thread...
What are the most attractive downtube cable stops and barrel adjusters anyone has found? Looking to replace the plastic monstrosities on a build.
Nice, would buy if I needed something fixed.
