rich, have you got a 640x version of those pics?! Some of us live down the far end of an aluminium telephone line you know!
looking fine even with my dodgy eyesight!
no 640 pixels!
Those are humungous pics and taking a while to download.

I,m still smarting from that banning! Stoner you need to move to the city!
I've had Ti frames since before the matching bolts got put in my skull, though I seem to have more of an affinity with them now than ever before 😉
The ridiculously good Tripster ATR is getting a makeover - with a proper bling build ready for summer (which is just around the corner, ahem). As it is, it's just hammering the muddy lanes and tracks at the moment, and looking lovely:

The Lynskey Mk1 Ti456 was a top bike:

Had a Rock Lobster Team Ti that I managed to magic gear, which was good fun:

It all started a fair few years ago - this was a Litespeed road frame that rode very sweetly:

there seems to be a distinct lack of Ti seatpost with ti frame? is it not the done thing? *now has doubts about sticking an erikson in the sheep*
Hope didnt do an eternity in ti ..... And i wanted a hope seat pin.
If I could afford a decent ti post in I would been looking for some moots ones at the right price!
I like the jones Ti diamond and the spaceframe is lovely as well..and the burls roadbike. Stoner, if you ever get bored of the truss forks i'll have em back of ya for another project. Johnclimber, yours must be second bestest as mine is more lovlier and slinky 😉

Northwinder, what rigid forks are you using there?
They're the hylix ones- same as trail_rats (though I think he broke his?) I think they're designed as 29er but they're 450mm axle to crown so work well in my 26er.

Definitely no issues with a ti post in a ti frame. I'm running the Thomson on my Mosaic, but there is an Eriksen post on it's way to me for my Jones.

my ti effort: black sheep frame, with black sheep ti unicrown fork and 15mm bolt though with 29+ frontage, ti mountain tache bars (yes they are wiiiiide), ti niner cog and spacers, need a custum ti ring to play on the pauls cranks ....it needs a ti seat post and a hint of colour?
The Eriksen post with the pewter hardware looks cool.
^^ bloody lovely bike taz, leave it nekid it looks really neat.
However if I were to build one it would have to have the random colour and that mango would suit it really well...
hmmmmm have to see if goldtec can custom anodise some mango hubs for me 😀

Hi Gotama,
Yeah I've also got a steel spaceframe singlespeed which I love to bits.
I'm just waiting for an Eriksen post and a pair of Dually rims to arrive for the Jones ti. Unfortunately the Dually rims aren't expected to arrive until mid January 🙁
Amplebrew .... Don't suppose the Duallys are being built into purple Pauls hubs?

Amplebrew .... Don't suppose the Duallys are being built into purple Pauls hubs?
They sure are 8)
I got 3 hubs from Paul Comp; 2 Whub's and a Rhub with an XD freehub.
JRA have already built one of the Whub's onto a Rolling Darryl for me, there is just a bit of a wait on the Duallys.

Did someone mention Ti Seat Posts?
I've a used 27.2mm Van Nic one going spare, how much should I be asking for it?
It now has a RaceFace bashguard and a different saddle...

Someone must have something more obscure that a bag of Ti spanners? STW? there must be a Ti Prince Albert piercing a didgeridoo or set of African neck rings they wear?
Ti body piercing rings but they're dead common 🙂
However if I were to build one it would have to have the random colour and that mango would suit it really well...
Yep. It looked great when I had it built up with a bit of mongo on it.
Tazz.
I've still got the black sheep Ti seatpost,mongo headset and mongo salsa seat clamp if you're interested in giving them a home?

Taz - any particular reason you opted for the unicrown fork rather than the faith?
@ amplebrew. Very cool. JRA built my fat bike wheels and I noticed your purple loveliness on their Instagram feed.
@ Coz. How do you find the tyres on the MLs?
bud / lou were fine on ML
I now have a moonie with them on clown shoes rims and they do come up a lot wider, gives more float, need all I can get with me on the bike!
uphillcursing - MemberSomeone must have something more obscure that a bag of Ti spanners? STW? there must be a Ti Prince Albert piercing a didgeridoo or set of African neck rings they wear?
I was quite excited when I got my hip bolted back on, I thought they used titanium but it turned out it's just stainless. Maybe I should replace them, can't be too hard?
