3D printed titanium parts
Admiral Ackbar:
roadies love really lightweight shit, even at the expense of comfort or efficiency, just look at the slew of manufactures that produce unpadded, rigid carbon saddles.
but with a 1mm thick shell and flexible rails i bet that is loads more comfortable than some other offerings
barcodebilly:
Those airplane seats look uncomfortable

I wonder how many people would pay for a titanium nokon cable. Like a polished rainbow/ti-dye/oilslick space whip that can start fires.
and I wonder if anyone will try integrated fluid lines...

the logo extension bit bothers me
G:
Integrated hydraulic lines would be slick, but a pig to setup and printed parts occasionally have issues with porosity that would be a killer...
