Seat posts on Ti’s

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.

Good luck leveraging a fahg at a supermarket on a Saturday morning without attracting attention

Both wheels have security skewers.

Know starting to go of subject but much to my displeasure i have found that even if a bike has gold standard locks etc if a determined thief wants a bike chances are they will get it, think battery angle grinder?
One time i lost the keys of a locked bike, collected some tools from home and worked on the lock for more than 30 minutes and in all that time in a busy high street not one person asked me what i was up to?

Beware of Ti bottle cages. They have a tendency to break easy.

Rose bikes have some lovely stainless steel bottle cages. But no longer ship to UK. I have them on my titanium bike

See also titanium saddle rails. I'd forgotten I'd broken that.

They’ve been on my Genesis for other 9000 miles, good as new

I bought LifeLine alloy cages from Wiggle. £3.49 each. They match nicely, do the job perfectly well.
