OK, the bike tests. And the pages for new products if that's OK? Plus, if anyone is prepared to sell the actual magazine, just pm me and I will pay straight away

August 1991 - just for interest, a Sharrocks advert.

Two things stand out here. At a time when you could buy an M730 XT chainset for £70, an Alpine Stars TI Mega Kloser frameset cost £2,700!! Not sure what justified the £700 premium over a standard TI Mega frameset? Sorry, actually I see now, The other was aluminium and titanium, a weird combo if ever there was one.

Secondly, not something I noticed at the time or since, was that Muddy Fox had a Titanium Dream model. That's a unicorn if ever there was one.

Perhaps a Sharrocks employee of that era can elaborate, or anyone who owned such exotica?

That's great. If you decide to sell, give me a shout.

Anyone mind if I get a mod to move this to the catalogue and magazine section so others can find it. (I cane move it)

 

[trailwright]

Yes, makes sense. Thanks.

think the full Ti alpine star related to the forks, stem and seatpost whereas the standard had the same frame but alloy parts. The muddy fox ti was a cool bike, seem to remember someone had Jimmy Savile fix it for him to ride one, Gen 1 Pace RC30s, maguras and the rest.
