Bontrager Race Lite

[benjabbi]

i´d love to see a Titec Ti Flat Tracker on this. i think it can use a wider sweepier bar. but this maybe only in my mind.
like this one:

but i think they are pretty hard to get.

I agree I have one on my Ti Lite and if I ever see another one at a sensible price I'll buy it. I do have an alloy one laying about but decided to use the 118 to go with the seatpost.

Did that ti saddle come from broqn? If it did he got it from me originally

No, I bought this one off ebay I think? Can't quite remember but it definitely wasn't off br0qn.

Been faffing for the sake of faffing again.
White Industries cranks/rings and Ti BB.
White Industries hubs built on BCX Red rims with Revolution spokes.
Threaded King headset with an SL crown and a Bontrager stem that needs decals.

Bloody lovely as always

The stem was too long so I got to swapping it back, deciding to fit Maguras while at it. Turned into swapping more or less everything. These things happen, I'm sure it's not just me!

The decision making, or constant changing of said decision is the best bit! Lovely bike and I'm envious of that seatpost!!!

Fully agree with that, I can't leave them alone. Definitely fun.
I have a Titec problem, started, no doubt, by the Bontrager connection. It's good stuff and usually reasonably priced compared to other brands. I have 6 seatposts I think, including a couple of these Ti ones and numerous bars and stems.

Ooooooo do you have a 27.0 kicking around for my titanium Diamondback ?

I have the avid cantis on the DB but two have the dreaded plate crack. How do you find them performance wise?

Sorry, they're all on bikes.

Avid cantis they're lightweight, look great, pretty easy to adjust and with the ultimate levers have the lightest lever feel of any brake I've felt. They work fine but they're not outstanding, might be better with a servowave/power control lever but not tried it yet. I'm glad I own them but for what they go for these days I don't think it's worth it. Shimano with a servowave work better and a Dia-compe 987/SS7 combo works just as well at a fraction of the price. Also there's the cracking thing as you obviously know.
Sometimes though you just have to have stuff!
