Great find with an unused brake track and pretty rare used brake track, or not 👍

Do it! Do it! Which ti fork have you got?

I am more concerned about what looks like the edge of the world.

If it had a fancy paint job and it was called Voodoo Jazz Hat....

Do a flyweight drop bar gravel build 👍. What bits are you hoarding?

Adjustable pin wrench required, or a fixed wrench if the holes are at some kind of standard width.

I like that Massi .

Ingrid or copies of from Aliexpress possibly. https://ingrid.bike/product/crankset-crs-pop/

I now use the Shorty Ultimate's. Damn fine brake when paired with Swissstop BXP pads. Easy to set up, too. The instructions are a bit silly as they instruct you to set the straddle height in relation to the top of the tyre which means the brake will perform differently between one tyre and another.

It is for motor-paced shopping.

Not sure anyone would nick it but in the first pic he is locking YabbaDabbaDoo to a bollard. Maybe there is a loop or something on the blind side?

As above. I think it came about when they started getting mounted in the ends of tri/TT aero extensions. Maybe for ergonomics, but it might also have just been done to look better when there is no rider on the bike.. Looks don't matter when your hands are cupped over them though.

There is a fourth type which typically is what you find on an aluminium frame and that is a welded on lump with 3 holes and the counterbore for a shouldered boss

Those bosses with a shoulder are meant for frames that have a counterbore in whatever is mounted on the forks or stays. The shoulder goes into that counterbore if you get my drift. Maybe removing the shoulder using a file/grinder/sanding wheel will allow it to work.

Thank you for that info 👍. I didn't know that you could use fatter tyres outside of UCI events.
