Hi,

I am new to the forum and thought it was about time I contributed with a piece on my Dogs Bolx.

The made to measure frame was built by Chas Roberts and assembled by me in 1994. It still has all of it’s original components (except inner brake and derailleur cables). It was designed to be very light and as durable as possible. All the component parts (where possible) are Titanium and all the steel bolts were replaced by SRP Titanium equivalent throughout the bike. All the bearings (except the headrace) are cartridge type including jokey wheels.

And finally...some of SRPs finest pieces of Titanium. It's a shame to hide these behind the brake lever covers.
