Yes yes I know lol

I want to go M520 but I really need to go for something with a flat so I can still use it for quick rides to work and football etc.

M520's I've bought come with a clip in flat platforms so you can use either SPD shoes and ordinary shoes. (from the woolly hat shop)

I have 2 Titanium bikes with pics posted in the Show us your Titanium Thread, do they also qualify for this thread ? just a thought I'm not posting them.

Hahahaha, it'll have to wait I'm afraid.

Quick question to anyone who fancies it. The gearing is a little harsh for me TBH, but I don't want to do any more than just change the cassette ATM. So given that the bike now has an 8 speed 105 rear mech, would either this ROAD or this MTB* cassette be OK to ease the gearing a little?

*the MTB one would be either 12-28 or 12-30 as I doubt 12-30 would work with the rear mech, but I'm happy to be told otherwise.

This is what it looks like now

Nice job!

Here's a sneak peek of my 80% complete Surly Straggler alfine hubbed year round commuter/tourer. Currently waiting for gear cable inner, barrel adjuster, down tube cable stops, pannier rack extensions to clear the rear disc brake and trp spyre disc brakes.

Bunged my Vision wheels on with the Rubino Pro 23 tyres, and took to the bike with a packet of baby wipes this evening...

They are Titanium which is an alloy but I have seen the description Titanium Steel applied to various things.

I think in this case, theres a thread for the differing metals

Titanium
Steel
Alloy

If your bikes titanium, then use that thread

Just collected this last Friday - bought the frame & components seperately and had my lbs build it for me. I make no apologies for the mix of old-style frame (bought brand new) with new-style components - I still think it looks stunning & it goes as well as it looks. I sold a full carbon Cube Agree GTC Race to part-fund this latest bike, and can now see why steel bikes have their fans!

No apologies needed! I think old steel frames re-purposed with modern components are great! All the loveliness of a classic steel frame, with all the benefits of modern equipment!

I'm assuming mine is steel

I don't know for sure but I'd wager it's aluminium TBH, but that's OK, there's a THREAD for that too
