Show us your Titanium....

He'll be perusing Carradice too...

Can't beat a bit of Super C.....

Deploying far more lights than you need may also help you fit in.

This is what I'm aiming for, the trousers too!

 

[Dave 123]

Picked up from Spa Cycles this morning. Ready for my commute tomorrow as I'm going to break the saddle in with 6.6 mile chunks.

If I'm honest the stand over height is only just enough, but I bought it to ride, not stand over it!

Nice. Always hear good reports of those Spa frames.
That's a lot of spacers Dave. How tall are you?
And what is that bridge for above the rear brake/pannier rack?

It is a lot of spacers, I'll stick with it how it is for a day or 2 to see how I feel. The more upright I am tomorrow night is bound to increase the fun of a 40mph head wind!

What bridge?

Nice looking machine, looks a real mile eater. Wise move with the spacers, ride it and experiment with the bar height, then, when you think you've got it right, ride a bit more to be sure! Then allow cutting.
Spa are a great outfit, aren't they?

Nice bike if I ever had to get another tourer it would be one of those - I see you went for a triple? None of this modern 'compact' malarkey

What groupset etc. is it ?

& did you get to meet 'mr grumpy' ?

( I got my galaxy from SPA & left Mrs craigwend as a 'deposit on my test ride' )

The 'bridge' on the Spa looks like a cable stop for traditional canti brakes. Nice looking bike, I do like the matte Ti finish.

Edit - like this https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=c...kejsAvbUM:&usg=__bOahHEkK8m7-LyWP1DAEUvoHKb4=

Posted over in the Fixed Gear thread, my new Burls Titanium.

Replaced my Langster which didn't come off well in a collision with a Pizza delivery guy,

Only done one shakedown ride on it so far, Justin did a great job taking my requirements (pointed him at my Spesh Roubaix which I really enjoy) and the end result feels great. Looking forward once again to the commute, the shopper was beginning to get on my nerves..

I will get some better photographs in daylight, but here is a little teaser of my titanium bike. Like the Spa one above it has the cantilever bridge giving a clue as to its age...

Which Mr Grumpy to be precise? There may be more than one.... And whilst it's refreshing that they are not glitzy corporate they could do a lot more in the way of being smiley and warm. But primarily I was after a bike not a smile.

Group set- Dior and Viagra ( think I've got that right...?)

Doesn't that give a stiff gear change?

Hope so. I'll take anything these days!
