It's the same yep. Also the treadless version of the standard Flexstem can be swapped into the Ti combo as pivot spacing is the same. I converted mine like this, no prob's

Yeah, from my experience all dimensions are exactly the same so they're interchangeable.

I like these, they're a big improvement over standard ones with the weight saving and extra damping of the Ti. Easily converted to threadless too, if you can find a donor Flexstem.

This arrived today. Never used them before so eager to see how they perform - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177503645708

Lovely! but just to be pedantic, these ones are Icarus

It'd be pretty cool having a bike fully kitted out with that hey :D

Seems like your canti's come from the same 'The New Dimension' groupset ibbz - https://velobase.com/Pages/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=23C9FF5F-F9DB-4BC2-9810-66C51F6A56B4&Enum=117&AbsPos=1

Yeah there was at least one long cage/MTB mech. This one turns up sometimes and I think I've seen a slightly different version - https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/fir_nettuno_derailleur.html Front mech -...

Cool. I'm a big fan of Ti forks although the ride quality can vary a lot. My GT Edge Ti came with some and they were surprisingly stiff (and heavy). A Record Ti seat post would be nice. There's a NOS one here (27.2), labelled Chorus but they're identical I believe...

That's lovely. Are the forks Ti?

It does. I think they do a great job keeping the strands coherent which must be challenging. Most of their tracks seem to be covers specifically from the Shadows and Light live album which are quite different to the studio versions. I do like S&L but find it a bit disjointed ironically, with...

As a huge fan of Joni esp. her jazz influenced stuff, this British band is a great new discovery. Fab to hear those Jaco basslines played so well!

A rare mech this. There's a Pecker shaped hole in my derailleur collection but I can't see myself splashing out for this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257165612554?

I wasn't knocking the Argos quality Nob, they clearly do a fantastic job and are really conscientious about their work. But I've been told by a few people that it can chip quite easily so isn't the best for an MTB. This cant be said of the several Mercian's I know from the 90s with apparently...
