It stems from the fact that I always hitch my leg over the toptube rather than behind (dodgy knee and hip, you see) and it scratches the top tube.When I was living in Philly there was a cool courier bag shop (RE.load bags) that sold top tube pads for courier bikes and they custom made me this pad and one for the chainstay and have since made one for my Roberts. Also makes my bike look like my first Raleigh Burner!

These are the bikes i usually ride...
Storck Organic Light... 10,5 kg, with Xentis carbon wheels, Reba WC, X0 and Avid Ultimate
Storck Rebel Carbon - 8,9 kg, also with Avid Ultimate, Mavic SLR, XTR and Reba WC
Corratec Superbow Titanium - 9,8 kg - Marta´s, XTR, Tune hubs, Fox RLC 2008
And my other Corratec, also a Superbow Titanium, but my project Sub 7, with 6,8 kg (15 lbs). Has some of the lightest parts in the market today - certainly not an old school...

Where do you find a ti corratec like that?
In terms of modern bikes that and the Cycip ti (with the bullit flash gordon end caps) has to be my faves.
Someone tell me they are selling one...
