I've got all the MBUK's and (most)MBi's from 1988-93. JUst missing the few that are in my Signature
That's a lot of reading to go through.
I'll check but it may take some time....
*EDIT 29/01* Gone through 1991 - not there so far!

I seem to remember an article that showed you how to lighten by using a kitchen knife to cut down your Knobblies and crank drilling. There was also a roadie chasing Lavoie titanium?
Could this be the article?

Cheers.

Re: MBUK lightest build

good find. Good read. Didn't read that back in the day. Shame no Klein build in the article.

So..... Been going through my MBUK collection looking for articles. Nothing with a specific Titanium lightening project special, but I did find these articles which I though might be near the mark / of interest.....

Re:

....So Nothing in the MBUK's I have. :?

...decided to look at MBi just in case. Found this in the Midsummer 1992 copy.

Nearer to the titanium lightweight build.... and weighs in at 19lbs 13oz - a long way off 13lbs though. Here's the scan..

@Gruff - I haven't forgotten about you! - All those mags I've been through, I've been checking for Carbolite articles / Ads at the same time! - nothing yet :?

Cheers.

Re:

Cheers for the upload Boy "O" Boy, I remember that article was one of the reasons I ended up buying an Orange Prestige :D
 
Re:

Man those were expensive articles. The pressure to find all those bling ’proforma payment only’ parts, which were nearly always out of stock in matching ano for months, was intense. :LOL:
