[quote="Sylv"][quote="Roy Green"] I hear the way to go (if cash situ is OK) is Titanium.

First frame is 10 years old and looks (and should ride) as new.

Second one is 16 years old and has got a tiny crack. But it can (and will) be repaired.


Sylv, do you take these frames camping with you....?

[quote="-Adam-"]Most pro's won't touch carbon bars/stems for that very reason, nor will I, but more because I can't afford them anyway! Apart from which, they are often no lighter than alu anyway.

Sure you can't be tempted by the half price Zipp carbon bars and stems that Planet-X have got at the moment?
