NOTE : I am only looking from my phone !!!

What's that running off to the left, from about halfway up the weld, starting at the edge of the heat zone, running up about 10 o clock ? :?

Good, good

I did similar with mine - I can only upload photos at work and when I did I couldn't wait to get home and check the bit was still there - cat hair / fluff or similar

I ever saw these little little little little cracks on titanium welds, and it's nothing. If you had a failure, you really should see that

Well,there you go .Alls well with the world and your Ti

I know the things youre going through
I've had 2 Ti frames and constantly checked them for cracks.A scratch would have me breaking out in sweat

My latest Ti frame I bought via gumtree for a 100 quid,the seller refuses to answer any email/text/phone leaving me to think it has an underlying problem :shock:
Other than the cold working i noticed the frame has gone through-to take the rear spacing from 130mm to 132.8mm attempting to get it to accept 135mm spaced wheels]
I took it offroad but was thinking that it wouldnt survive.
Fine no problem
Hope this helps

Bloody problem with Ti frames is theyre just too expensive to replace.so getting one for under a ton leaves you thinking something is wrong with it.



That said,mind an keep an eye on things

Aye........this thing has a few little quirks i've noticed, but that's why i like it......yup under a ton is great for this kind of thing....i'm gonna test it out soon
