Hello everybody

Have been wanting to scratch the titanium itch for a long time now so when this popped up for a very reasonable price it set the ball finally rolling!

Not got a mega budget after buying the F/F some I’m trying to be creative!

Re:

Usually all about the Hope wheels but this seemed like a good excuse to get some Chris Kings.

Other bits cheap but hopefully functional.

Tyres not everyone’s cup of tea...

Ha! Brilliant.

Good feedback.

Tbh the tyres won’t be on long as it’ll need some tread to let me actually use it over winter/spring.

Just quite like the cruiser look.

Cassette on the other hand my old son is staying!

Re:

I've ran some 'challenging' looking tyres previously on one of my ti builds... so I wouldn't pay any heed to anything I say! :xmas-big-grin:

Re:

I did take advice from Gil on here regarding the Thomson seat post on my Black Sheep though....

Once your funds have 'recovered' I'd definitely recommend running a ti post, I did and it transformed the comfort of that bike, and it looked proper sorted too! Your Jones would look the business with a ti post! :xmas-cool:
