agreed. I'm really excited for it. I loved my Poverty coaster, but it needed LHD. My LHD Reverse was junk. Hopefully the clutch holds up to the test of time.

isnt ti slightly weaker than steel, its just a lot lighter? i guess it depends on the quality/grade and heat treating processes etc.

You're right, it depends. Some steel is stronger than some titanium. Some titanium is stronger than some steel. In general though, titanium has a better strength to weight ratio than steel.

I built a Mortirolo years back and absolutely loved that bike. My Focus is great but if I were to build something new up it would probably be a Zero.7. I love me some Wilier

Need some new tyres in 25c flavour. GP4000's or something else?

Specy has a Buy One Get One deal going. I picked up a pair of sworks turbo's for $55. Actually really loving these tires and I will buy them again for sure. Supple, great grip, but they are wearing noticeably fast. I would be shocked to get 2k miles out of them.

How many eggs a day is too many? Farts are pretty bad alright. At least no one has to share a tent with me haha

I used to eat 10-12 a day when I was doing a no carb thing. Now I average about 2 dozen a week. Eggs are such a versatile and healthy food. I mostly just throw a fried egg on top of every meal.

Was the OX Platinum really worth $400?

A buddy of mine destroyed like 3 or 4 of them. The OX tubing wasn't worth the $400, but the lifetime warranty was...

Enve stems are awful looking. Blobby positive rise lumps.

Thats honestly why I bought the Thomson. I wanted 10˚ and Enve is only 6˚. Seems silly they don't offer different rises.

I badly want to replace my thomson cockpit with an enve one. No way I can justify that money though.

So badass, but, racing on Gatorskins? Those wheels deserve better tires.

Of course the gatorskins will be swapped when the season really starts. There is so much debris on the road still I'm actually glad I had them on.

While I'm at it, anyone have any tire recommendations? I rode 23mm GP4000s last season and I really liked them, however I was thinking about some 24mm Specy turbo cottons or Vittoria Corsa somethings. I ride my Enve's training and racing so I'd like something to last at least 3k miles.
