For Sale Cove Hummer - Ti frame - £175

[bikeworkshop]

Steel is real,
but Ti is fly.
Carbon's up the khyber
And alloy's the bad boy.

 

[CTK]

All materials have pros & cons. I think ti is held to a higher standard because its so pricey.

Yo, let me tell ya ‘bout a story that I once knew,
It’s all about bikes, yeah, I’m talkin’ to you.
You’re ridin’ down the road, thinkin’ you’re so cool,
But that frame ain’t the problem, nah, it’s the fool!
Steel, carbon fiber, aluminum too,
They ain’t gonna crack unless the plan’s askew.
You blame the metal when your wheel hits the deck,
But it’s bad geometry that wrecks your neck!

Materials don’t fail, designs do!
You better check the angles before your bike’s through.
It ain’t the carbon fiber or the steel you bend,
It’s that wack-ass frame that’s causin’ the end!
Materials don’t fail, designs do,
If you’re hittin’ the ground, yo, the fault’s on you!

You bought a fancy ride, thinkin’ it’s legit,
But the blueprint’s off, now you’re deep in some… (trouble).
Don’t trust the hype or the brand new tech,
If the engineer was nappin’, your bike’s a wreck!
Forget the titanium, the lightweight craze,
If the geometry’s off, it’s you who pays.
Head tube angles, top tube length,
If they don’t make sense, you’ll be ridin’ on the brink!

Materials don’t fail, designs do!
You better check the angles before your bike’s through.
It ain’t the carbon fiber or the steel you bend,
It’s that wack-ass frame that’s causin’ the end!
Materials don’t fail, designs do,
If you’re hittin’ the ground, yo, the fault’s on you!

Yo, it’s science, man, the math don’t lie,
But when the design’s wrong, you’re gonna fly!
Down to the pavement, crash and burn,
It ain’t the steel’s fault, now it’s your turn.
So don’t blame the parts when you hit the curb,
It’s the bad blueprint that’s truly absurd!

So next time your bike’s givin’ you some grief,
Check the design, man, and save your beef!
Materials are strong, they’ll take the strain,
But a bad design’ll leave you in pain!
Remember the lesson, don’t be a fool,
Materials don’t fail, designs do!

Bravo!

GLC science youtube channel anyone?

Nothing lasts forever
Of that I’m sure...
But now i’ve bought that cycle
I’ll ride some more
Older frames may be oh so mean
Will they survive the same old scene?

There is a reason Enigma moved from lifetime warranty to 10 years. No doubt driven by that well known frame that cracked which the guy did the funny stuff with.

Ti is great. But it’s not without its issues.

The thing I like is that it can be refinished easily and the ride is brilliant.
