I've decided to make an executive decision and take these off the thread for the following reasons:
They aren't turning a profit, and testing/packing/posting is a lot of work.
They work beautifully as extremely bright torches/or helmet lights, but some people have complained they become intermittent/cut off on bumpy roads mounted to the handlebars, an issue I didn't come across until very recently. I have offered refunds/discounts to those who contact me with a fault.
I'm sure I should find some use for the 30 or so torches i still have in the box. Suggestions on the back of a postcard!

OK, so I bought some Rigida DP18s in red with intention of stripping them.
Bought the paint stripper, applied a coat and got to sanding the paint off. I'm just over half way through the job and I've given up.
If you want to finish the job - removing remaining paint, sanding and polishing the rims - be my guest. You'll get the rims, and whats left of the paint stripper tin (not much but it's a start), for a bargain price of £20 for the pair.
You could even leave them as they are, and just have a quality pair of rims disguised. A thief would not go near a bike with these in their current state!

Titanium has a pretty bad fatigue life compared with other alloys such as steel. People get confused by the fact it is well known as a metal with a very high strength to weight ratio, but it is actually pretty crappy in reality and is rather prone to catastrophic failure.
Check out these stem fatigue tests on Sheldon's site. Low-quality titanium can be pretty bad for fatigue.

Sorry matey, group bought with Retro di Corsa a while ago. It appears that it's still going on so just get someone else to share a buy with you. Or buy two and sell the second one here?
