RB has went Ti crazy.........had a proper spin on it yet bud?

Not as of yet! work and back! Very happy though! I'm out in the morning at Sherwood forest (used to race there as a young'un) so will give her a propper spanking! Will pop some action shots, full spec and better detail pics up soon as well!
 
So... Yesterday! 5hrs of playing in the woods and well... AWESOME! Really very impressed how much speed it carries. I did have a moment when there was a nasty crack noise! Ahhhh! i'd not tighten up the bolts on the USE carbon post and the seat slipped resulting in me check every weld :oops: . The White Bros forks are super plush. I did have them a wee bit to firm to begin with but they never missed a beat all day!
Twangy was out with me and played almost all day without a front break! Some brave downhill'in! All in a top day and very pleased with my ti toy!

Airborne

I just love mine ever more, the more I ride it, sooooo much better than a Merlin or Litespeed to ride, it corners like it's on rails, no frame flex, but just enough give to take the edge off big knocks, You need to spend more-much more they are worth it, Ti seatpost and stem next!
 
Agreed! They are a stunning ride. I went for a slightly smaller frame
than I'd normally ride (norm 18' and this is 17.5) and I've pointed it at all sorts of stuff and it just has it! I don't think there's much I want to change if I'm honest... I'm keeping a look out for some Middleburn crank arms and I may change the cassette for a 10spd??? But it just does everything I want. Dare I say it... Better than my old Pace? Def knocks the spots of the stumpies I've had. I will get round to some tasty pics at some point. Oh the forks are fffffffkin brill! Currently very happy :D
 
As promised but not cleaned :oops:
