How much are the lottery tickets? Interesting idea btw.

Sorry, I asked the question a couple of days ago and neglected to post a response. The opinions proffered seem to suggest that plain gauge ti will be perfect for my needs. Further opinions most welcome. Thanks to all those who responded.

Bump. What's happened?

I was keeping an eye on this thread and looking forward to seeing the finished build.

Be prepared for clicking noises, they are a fact of life on ti frames I find.

Where from / what causes them?

Taken 2 is out today - can't wait!

Do wait. It is utter shit.

ti riders, is anyone able to tell me if I am likely to really feel / notice the difference between a butted and plain guage ti frame? I have recently come into a little money, and am considering a new frame.

I am sorely tempted by a Burls road frame. I think they represent good vfm, personal service, built to specification frames at a quick turn round. However, like the more basic van nic, lynksey etc it is plain guage tubing. I realise that butted tubing is thinner in the middle and thus makes for a lighter build. However, I could do with being thinner in the middle and thus a lighter build, and am confident that I could easily make the weight saving from myself!

Is it worth the considerable extra £££? Is there something obvious that I have missed?

NB: I realise that I could have a nicely butted Rourke 853 type affair for similar money, but really fancy ti.

Sport Pursuit has a load of Berghaus stuff on offer at the moment - I posted about jackets in another tread, but they have a decent selection of rucksacks as well.

.

Shameless bump. Anyone?

Does anyone have a Nelson longflap in black and white that they'd like to swap for a green and honey version? Mine is excellent condition, but I'm so vain that it bothers me that it is not as good a match as a black one would be for my new build.

Thanks

Joe

Quite like the look of those Condor own-brand tracksuit tights, with the multi-coloured elasticated ankle cuffs (???), they look comfy, considering them as a cheaper alternative to full on Swrve trousers

They are made by tudor sports, a great little UK company. You can deal with them direct and they have a range of kit:

What are you doing for gears? There doesn't seem to be a hanger for the rear mech at the mo.

Aren't the two holes above the rear dropout on the drive side to attatch a mech hanger?

No, you're untrustworthy. etc.

No pics, one link. Post still hasn't appeared. As valuable time ticks by millions of people are missing out on my rather mundane recommendation of a bike bell company.

^^ My post here is up instantly, but nothing in the FBNPNA thread. Any suggestions?

Has something changed in the way posts are posted?

I just posted in the functional not anti thread and when I hit 'post quick reply' I wsa greeted with a message that my post would have to be approved by a mod before appearing. Is this a new?

Anyone recommend a FBNPNA Bell?

PDW King of Ding

How about a british made alternative?

Genuine question (and thus free bump), why build something this expensive and then not ride it? It is not that uncommon to see expensive builds that have been constructed with little expense spared advertised as 'hardly ridden.'

Job done, donation made. Keep the info coming on the funding, am happy to contribute.

A little gold can look nice :-)

OT. That's lovely. Yours?

Killing it with the new bar bag on the Surly...

Stop killing it with your bike and build mine!

That was a cracking day out. Great to meet everyone and thanks again to Stu for organising.

There hasn't been any mention of the new 931 framest. I know Reynolds are making it, not sure who is building with it yet.

Also, I'm suprised that the ti evangelists haven't stopped by yet. Given the requirements, is it key to have the frame made in the UK? The Burls stuff always loks nice (although, IIRC, it's only plain guage).
