You'll enjoy that, Martin! Sort the skewer handle position out and varnish the table and chairs before the next photo. And flip the Hope - you'll only bang yer knees!
Show us your Titanium....

The GPS bracket stops the Hope being the other way around. What's up with the skewer this time??You'll enjoy that, Martin! Sort the skewer handle position out and varnish the table and chairs before the next photo. And flip the Hope - you'll only bang yer knees!

Put the front one at three o'clock, the rear one at (about) 11 o'clock, dump the GPS or, release the Hope clamp and rotate same whilst removing/replacing GPS (if you must). Oh, and spray the Hope a different colour - it looks naff with a black groupset.

On the subject of skewer positioning:
"Quick release angle on the front skewer shall be an upward angle which tightens just aft of the fork and the rear quick release shall tighten at an angle that bisects angle between the seat and chain stays. It is acceptable, however, to have the rear quick release tighten upward, just aft of the seat stay, when the construction of the frame or its dropouts will not allow the preferred positioning. For Time Trial bikes only, quick releases may be in the horizontal position facing towards the rear of the bike. This is for maximum aero effect."
@Martint235 Judging by the height of your saddle and the difference between it and the bars, I deduce two things: firstly you might reasonably be described as "lanky" and secondly you are either youthful or a yoga teacher.

I am youthful particularly when compared to someone like 'Teef and I could be described as tall yes.

He's long - like pastry that's been rolled in one direction and not t'other. Forget youthful, and yoga? Yogi maybe, although he's had some of the rough edges knocked off him since he's become an honorary Southern Softie...viz. the Ti bike, instead of one that looked like a rolling allotment.

Let's face it Martin. It was just an excuse to buy some baby oil..... Nice bike BTW - I knew you'd see sense in the end.

I really, really dread to think what some people get up to with their Ti bikes. Baby oil???

Strictly for polishing purposes only! Less drag on the frame = faster speed.
(Although I use aircraft polish, but I do know some people who use baby oil).
