The titanium bike thread

[scott62]

Most ti tubing is made in Russia…… not a fan of Russian stuff these days

So you “don’t break alot of stuff period” but you broke 3 frames😁 and appear to be different materials

Well, there were reasons behind two. The trek top fuel broke because I ran it ss. It did not like the lateral flex from mashing. The pivot broke at a crappy engineering joint. The carbon did not just snap say in the middle of a tube or chainstay.

Frame was designed by an American in the US and constructed in Asia. China actually produces the most titanium. Japan and the US are big producers as well. I didn’t ask Turner where his titanium comes from. Why am I even defending this? It’s a bike. I come here to escape the worries of daily life as I’m sure most people do. This was a thread about a my dream bike build. There are different threads to talk about current events(we are all aware of what’s going on and everyone is feeling it). A time and a place for everything. I’m going to go ride my bike and enjoy it and escape for a few hours.

He’s the only person I have seen ride up Jacks Trail at High Mountain on a single speed without putting a foot down. Then again he was so far ahead of me, maybe he did😁.

It's a kick ass bike. I'm sure you'll love yours as much as I love mine. Enjoy. Maybe I'll see it on the trails one day if our paths cross.

Thanks @tonyride. For sure. Random thought. Wish I was at Sedona MTB Fest right now. That’s gotta be one of the best in the country.

Putin probably designed this frame. Dave Turner colluded with Russia. Trump backed the project.

It has a chip in the frame, a “laser” and cost one million dollars😂

For sure. I'll make it out there one of these days. My wife has allowed me to go on a week-long mountain biking trip, just need to pick one and plan for it.

Awesome bike from an awesome company. Have fun and enjoy the hell out of it. This probably won’t fit you but you are welcome to it if you want.

That ride looks Luscious. Enjoy the heck out of it!

Thanks @Johnny Utah. Your bike builds are always incredible. That Chromag was one of my favorites.

The China Ti is the real good stuff. My cup of Ti so to speak.

Not a big fan of their politics tho.
