been putting this together over last couple of months and always wanted a full on titanium build so here is how far i have got. obviously titanium cranks are very hard to find and always seem to have bad reviews so dont think i will be getting one so my jonesied xtrM960 will have to do. got a 36 tooth titanium chain ring on the way. favourite bits are the controltech stem and seatpost. most ti` stems are pretty fugly and i never liked the idea of welded parts on such an important part of the bike which takes a lot of stress. this controltech one was bloomin expensive but is soooo! sexy and miles ahead of the rest in terms of looks and weight. got some quad ti` eggbeaters nearly ready and a few bolts to change and thats it finished. it weighs 20lbs at the moment so its lovely to ride. first time on rigid forks in many years and they are more comfortable than i thought they would be. they weigh an incredible 580 grams! so i have to like them. what do think guys? cheers. ad
