You will have to try pretty hard to go too deep with any sort of normal abrasive on a ti frame... Its just working the oxidized layer, that looks like someone has gone along the tube so should be easy to rescue. Use a strip of red scotchbrite, wrap it round the tube and polish... don't go...

Stick with the xt's the bearings in the onza are pretty rubbish and elastomers were never Brill when new, I can't see 20 years in a box making them any better! That said, they did look neat though and I ran them for a few yeas back in the 90's 😊 still have a really mangled pair in my toolbox

The bridge, flat dropouts and riveted cable guides are Identical to my old one, I think it's an Experience

I second that, they are great, but wear faster than tyre sidewall with a misadjusted brake block!

I have loved riding it over the years, for the time being its in its bag in the loft, at some point there will be a repair 😊 probably coinciding with a bit of a refresh. But that's hard, the patina and flaking stickers all hold a certain charm 😊 But need to recover after buying the Ti Sync 👍

Limit in Norwich can build steel and Ti, did some repair work for me, Patrick knows his stuff, patient and useful to know! https://limitfabrications.co.uk/

I zoomed in and noticed the detail on your TWP! Mildly envious of that!!! 👍 very cool!

I have the machined AMP brace as well as the TWP, it may be more flexi, but the shiny AMP one wins for me!

I LOVE a Shock-a-billy especally the AMP variety ;) subscribed to the thread and look forward to seeing it completed!

After nearly shaking myself to bits on the pace, I pulled the Shock-a-Billy out of retirement to tackle a couple of Strava segments that featured a whole bunch of small hi frequency bumps and ruts, needless to say, other than being as sketchy as fook (or is that nimble? I'm never sure!!) it was...

Its a bit modern, but seeing as though I bought the frame from a member, I thought Id show the bike off a little! I've always lusted after a Titanium bike - one of those bucket list items, so couldnt turn down the chance to own this frame, I set my budget, then ended up going a little over the...

Problem with Slime filled tubes - Butyl tube + Sealant=weight I go for latex tubes - pretty much as light as tubeless, no mess, more puncture resistant than butyl, but porous so need topping up with air every week or so

did nearly 450miles round trip for a bike... but when sold my car, chap came from Denmark to collect it - ironically, with me being 10 mins from Harwich and him near his ferry port his round trip was only about 50 miles! got off the ferry, picked the car up and he made the next sailing home!

First Pace RC303 on the list! RC303L0099 (I think - the last digit is a little obscured by the chainstay weld)

Ive sent you an email through here, let me know if you get it. Thanks

on the (very slim!) chance this falls through, can I call dibs!

oohh... that is local! not for me, but if anyone does want it, im happy to do storage if travelling through tiers is tricky

that will go nicely with my RC 303 I may put a cheeky bid on Urg, thats the middle of covid country :(

Re: Re: I really miss Dorset, used to ride down there with the guys from X-Treme, cake at corfe, then the climb up past stone seat back to the ridge... Id love to ride it again... are there still group rides that gather on a sunday at the ferry??

your booster looks a bit like mine - but a lot more attention to detail!!! Your bike looks 8) will it get ridden???
