I chanced my arm at Bike 96 and got a Red Titanium Red Cap which I suspect is in a box at my parents house, it was well used in period so prob pretty ratty, also had a product poster somewhere

I don't mind the tyres. I was a bike tart a while ago and put bright blue tyres on one of my builds, I didn't have the confidence of a 12 year old unfortunately, and so I swiftly scrapped the idea. White isn't quite as overwhelming as bright blue. And i think they'll look nicer once you wear them down a bit, get them muddied up.

I want a commie ride like this now. Sad.

I looked at it, but I'll never look at it again. Or this thread. Now I'm lusting after Russian Titanium.

Whatever, steel is real. *twitches*

The other thread is constantly open in an other tab. Really cool stuff. On my list too. Titanium is very good in absorbing a certain frequency of micro-resonances as i noticed, makes it a comfortable but stiff ride, can be important when covering longer distances
