Something Is Missing!
Admitting it’s a difficult material to work with, but isn’t Ti relevant for discussion? I mean, I’ve ridden every material out there, well not quite, (never been on a wooden or bamboo frame), and quite honestly, nothing rides like a well made Ti frame; the exception being my 2011 Custom Ottrott SE, but that’s a horse of a different color. This omission has got me to thinking, if TR hasn’t work w/it, perhaps he doesn’t believe it relevant? I think Ti is the one material that will come full circle and the second time around will be huge!

Ritchey has done Breakaways in ti.
If the ti comment is specifically in reference to forks, I think there is a reason we don't see ti forks much at all. I forget what it is, but I know I've read a reason somewhere. --- My c. 2002 Road Logic has one of the very nice unicrown forks which at one point I swapped out for a carbon Alpha Q. Much preferred the ride of the steel fork even if it did add weight so went back to it. I agree that fork is one of the biggest parts of the ride quality equation. |

Wrong mic for that application. It's a highly directional mic often used as a "shotgun" mic for very live events that include picking up something at a distance without picking up any audio from the side. Never meant for that purpose.

I'm referring to the bike D2R2's creator and rider of the highest order, Sandy Whittlesey uses for his personal use like BMB. He selects parts that might surprise some folks...

Separately, the current 'gravel bike' thread reminded me of something else he said that resonated with me: riding varied terrain on your road bike (call it cross, call it gravel, whatever) makes you a better rider, more skilled and better able to control and feel the bike. To me that's an encouragement to take my drop-bar bike, whatever it's called, onto surfaces other than good pavement. If someone would just please relieve me of these two Colnagos I'd be happy to put the funds toward something actually designed for that purpose. |
