Do it bud.
I know you was looking at getting one a while back.
I did a 110 miles on it yesterday and apart from the lad Mista Preston pushing me along at a rate of knots. I got off the bike feeling I could quite easily have done double the distance. The comfy ride? Believe the hype my man.

now Ti bolts, I have been tempted...been a bit worried about the possibility of Ti binding to Ti...have you used some form of anti sieze or this just an overblown internet myth?
I think that's more of a problem when two different metals are it in tight contact, not two of the same type. Certainly hasn't been a problem on mine.

Did you compare the total weight's of the ti bolt to the normal bolts Ian?
I did. Mine were about a third of the weight of the stainless steel equivalent. Not that it makes any difference to a porky like me, but it just had to be done.

I'm going one further than Ian though, I'm having Ti tyres made :laugh:

Those handlebars, are they Pro Vibe 7S? How do you find them? Are they stiff, any flex at all?

not 100% sure on the model of them, all i can see is PRO PLT without taking the bar tape off, as for flex, i find them nice and stiff, but also im 10.5st so i find flex on bars less of an issue then many seem to.

but on a differnt note, im planning of changing them the bars and stem(110mm), as i want angled bars and a 100mm stem, so if these were the ones give me a shout because atm its hard to justify the expense.
