Just a quick update...been meaning to take some new pics of the Hei Hei for ages and finally managed to get out at the weekend to take a few in the fading evening sun.
Fitted new decals from Gil m which look great, some purple bottle bolts have gone on and have got some Fox Floats on (reduced to 80mm) which go real nice with the frame.
Would like to get this bike out more in 2010, even thinking of doing the Set2Rise 12hr on it (weather permitting) as it's just so soft/comfortable to ride

Cheers for the comments
There is something about a lot of Ti frames...they seem to take good quality modern parts fairly well. I have toyed with the idea of taking everything off and going period correct but I know it would take up too much of my time and I'd then probably be reluctant to use it!
Feel slightly bad about the risers though! I did try flats but the brake levers caught the top tube and I didn't have enough steerer tube to space up the stem!

IMO new forks are better than anything period correct suspension wise...those Foxes track nicely and are the right length for the bike. Originally had Manitou 3s on, just remember how bad those were, floppy as hell and the elastomers went rock solid in the cold lol
Still think it looks good with a refresh...stealthy like ti bikes should be
