Some very nice looking TI bikes on this thread so far, here’s my two

Cove Hummer

Kinesis Tripster ATR in winter/semi touring/doing the shopping mode.

Just as capable as many a road bike with it’s 25mm tyres fitted or quite capable to lap Kirroughtree/dalbeattie with 45mm tyres fitted without fear of incident or worry.

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?

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?

Too right. Lets have a go. I have a hammer and Bolster, someone round these parts has some epoxy and spoons. That and couple of the Ti ring spanners and away we go.

Edit…. Quote went wrong

I have an 11″ titanium structure round my spine holding it together after i borked it back in 1991, known as a Hartman loop – it’s held in place by an assortment of Titanium bolts n’ screws, it’s quite easy to feel it and if i lie on my back i rock like an upturned turtle as my spine doesn’t really flex that much. 😀

Needless to say i do feel an affinity with Ti so that’s why i like Ti bikes 😉

Gee 76 here you go.

@Simon R, that’s Legendary Lynskey Build Quality right there! Did you get it fixed?

and I’m still looking for a 16 – 17″ SS specific Ti Non disc frame if anyone wants to sell anything……………..

flashes, Keef of this here parish has got a rather lovely and special Ti frame V brake, SS, little wheels that he was looking to shift. May be worth giving him a prod! I’ll txt him to pop up on here as well

@ amplebrew. Very cool. JRA built my fat bike wheels and I noticed your purple loveliness on their Instagram feed.

Yeah, I’m really excited about them getting them built up. I think they’ll look great with the ti frame.

Tazzy, thanks for the heads up, I’ve spoken to Keef on this a few times. Unfortunately it’s a tad too big for me…..although I am thinking of growing my legs over the hols, I’d have a much better choice then and I’m still dithering over the Jones (but I may have sold it)……

flashes, tis only a 15″ C-t? but does have a long TT from memory

Yes the TT’s too long, so I’ll have to work on my arms as well. Love the Black Sheep by the way.

I have a Lynksey Ti post in my Brodie Holeshot, with a Carbon Ti seat Collar too.
No Pics of it in that guise though…. I`ll have to take some over christmas

Should have got steel…

@SimonR, Snap! (or should that be crack 😉 ) Also a Ragley Ti. All fixed by Lynskey with no quibble and good as new now though.

The only ti I posses is a road bike i’am afraid!
Kinesis Gran fondo V1.
Picture shown with older Dura Ace.
Currently fitted with 6800 Ultegra,Stans Alphas and Hutchinson tubeless tyres.
Its a nice ride and my all year round road bike.

Thanx,
Max

@Simon R, that’s Legendary Lynskey Build Quality right there! Did you get it fixed?

Hi Northwind – classic Lynskey failure – always in that location and on that side of the tube! Yep got it fixed – very tidy repair but the seat tube is now 27.2 rather than 31.6 which is a real shame and makes my much loved and very expensive Reverb a bit obsolete 🙁 – until I find a new frame to build up 🙂 (a bit like buying a new house when the cupboards are full!)

@billyboulders – yep – all sorted and still a really lovely bike to ride

My Van Nic Tuareg

As it came…

Built with KCNC cockpit, XT chainset, Hope Tech X2 brakes and Pro2 Evo hubs on crest rims.

Ti seat collar

Lovely detail…

That sir, is a thing of beauty……………

Here’s some of my old Ti stuff.

I no longer bother buying Ti frames. 😉

That happened to me, effectively the 27.2mm sleeve rendered obsolete a Reverb and a Lynskey titanium post. To be fair to Lynskey, they swapped the old 31.6mm ti post for a new 27.2mm one. I’m waiting for the Thomson 27.2mm dropper to be released. It’s been muttered about for ages now.

Four different frames.
All sorted/replaced under warranty.
Still not going to be buying another Ti frame though.

Litespeed Siena, not my main road bike anymore, just a sentimental piece!

Don’t have a ti mtb… Althought a ti ss 29er is definitely on the n+1 list!

FWIW I got Enigma to fix my Soda which had pretty much identical cracks, they welded and reamed it and retained the original seat tube size. My Ragley hasn’t cracked yet 😆
