You’ll also need a pair of Ti bottle cages

Then ti bolts all round

Before fitting the post, make sure everything is spotless, use anti scuffing paste or grease.
I have seen some serious picking up with ti on ti fits, mostly pumps shafts and sleeves, the only way to resolve it sometimes, was to cut the sleeve off.

I've still got a Carbon post on the Lynskey.I can't seem to find a nice looking Ti seat-post..they all look a bit plain and no different to a silver allu post

Absorb more buzz my bottom - the cycling media have a lot to answer for.

Go for the Ti.

All this talk about Ti has made me drag my Van Nic out of the garage, pop the panniers on, pump up the tyres and run my errands this morning on the bike rather than take the car.

glad I did

I now need to get it on a stand, take the wheels off and give it a deep clean, it’s looking a bit neglected

I'd never leave a bike that good just fastened to a shop bike rack (never mind it isn't fastened well)

How is not fastened well? It’s a Kryponite Gold standard lock securing the frame to a solid stainless steel hoop.

Wheels are both vulnerable. Loads of space inside the lock for leverage. I'd be making it a bit harder for thieves. It's a lovely bike.

I often leave my Ti bike locked up, usually in high traffic areas, locked through the back wheel if possible but not always. Here she is the other night, I’d left her for about half an hour while I had coffee in Wimbledon
