Like the look of Planet X titanium

[Venod]

Does that mean my position on the bike would be much the same ?

It should be similar, you have to factor in stem length, handlebar reach and brake levers, I got all the measurements correct but forgot about about longer hydraulic lever hoods, a 10mm shorter stem corrected that.

I wouldn't buy a cheap titanium frame with only a 2 year warranty, which applies to PlanetX frames. The Titus frames they sell have a lifetime warranty.

Is this really a thing ? I've not checked mine in the last year or two ?

Yes. Yes it is. Go and check.

Very much YES... The titanium post in my aluminium CAAD5 (<--- the red bike in my avatar) is not going to shift again without major intervention!

Fortunately, it seized in the position that I wanted it in. I only discovered that it was stuck when I tried to experiment with my saddle height a few years later.

You lot just made me well paranoid. Just been out to the garage and copper slipped the F outta my seatpost!

wasnt ceased, so far… not bad for a ‘cheap‘ Planet X frame

Yes, disappointing. When I asked PX about the discrepancy between PX and Titus frames I was told the Titus ones had the 10 year cover as they were more expensive and ( the weird bit) the actual frame difference was solely down to extra engraving, but no difference in build quality ! Several hundred pounds for engraving ?

I did ! Slippery as a Tory PM. I think PX assembled it with a nice bit of grease. I think thats almost 2 years I've had it so could you please get me to check in 2024 ? Ta.

Hmmm, I've not moved my stem in my van Nic for 8 yrs....luckily I don't need it to move and had a coating of lithium grease before it lest moved.. I'll put it on the to do list

Brand new here, just wanted to pop in with how nice PX ti frames are for how darn cheap they are. I've bought three in the past year, and next to my buddy's $3k Salsa Fargo ti frame literally there is no difference in quality or workmanship. I wouldn't be the least surprised if they came from the same tubes at the same factory.

Also, is anti-seize better than grease for keeping alu seatpost from permanent resident status? Thanks.
