Those are humungous pics and taking a while to download.

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:

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.

^^ bloody lovely bike taz, leave it nekid it looks really neat.
